Coating materials serve the purposes to protect, enhance and/or confer additional functionalities and properties underlying object surface or bulk materials. In recent years, nanotechnologies have been extensively incorporated into functional coatings as manipulation of at nanoscale can impart some unique chemical, mechanical, thermal, photophysical that be exploited functions required in urban built environments. this review paper, research progresses several categories were summarized with...
Abstract Phase change materials (PCMs) are promising thermal energy storage due to their high specific latent heat. Conventional PCMs typically exploit the solid–liquid (s–l) transition. However, leakage and leaching common issues for PCMs, which have be addressed before usage in practical applications. In contrast, solid–solid (s–s) would naturally overcome these inherent form stability homogeneity. this study, we report a new type of s–s PCM based on chemically linked polyethylene glycol...
Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) spectroscopy affords a rapid, highly sensitive, and nondestructive approach for label-free fingerprint diagnosis of wide range chemicals. It is great significance to develop large-area, uniform, environmentally friendly SERS substrates in situ identification analytes on complex topological surfaces. In this work, we demonstrate biodegradable flexible film via irreversibly longitudinally stretching metal deposited biocompatible poly(ε-caprolactone)...

Abstract Shear mode guided waves are highly demanded for underwater structural health monitoring (SHM) applications due to their simplified non‐dispersive feature and minimal acoustic energy loss in the presence of liquid. Excitation detection pure shear wave challenging using conventional piezoelectric materials used current ultrasonic transducers because they have complex responses mixed with multiple longitudinal, transverse, modes. They also suffer from aging issue depoling. Here,...

Topotactic reduction utilizing metal hydrides as reagents has emerged an effective approach to achieve exceptionally low oxidization states of ions and unconventional coordination networks. This method opens avenues the development entirely new functional materials, with one notable example being infinite-layer nickelate superconductors. However, effect on atomic reconstruction electronic structures-crucial for superconductivity-remains largely unresolved. We designed two sets control...

Shape-stabilized phase-change composites (SSPCCs) have been widely applied for thermal energy storage and management because of their excellent properties. To further improve conductivity cycling stability, we successfully designed synthesized a series SSPCCs with three-dimensional (3D) thermally conductive networks by exploiting the synergistic effect between one-dimensional (1D) carbon nanotubes (CNTs) two-dimensional (2D) hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN). The interconnected network composed...
