The recent developments of lignin were reviewed in terms different approaches to synthesize lignin-based copolymers, the resulting features and potential applications such copolymers.
New technologies rely on the development of new materials, and these may simply be innovative combination known components. The structural a polymer hydrogel network with nanoparticle (metals, non-metals, metal oxides, polymeric moieties) holds promise providing superior functionality to composite material applications in diverse fields, including catalysis, electronics, bio-sensing, drug delivery, nano-medicine, environmental remediation. This mixing result synergistic property enhancement...
Various methods to synthesize diverse nanoparticles with their different applications.
Flexible electronic devices are necessary for applications involving unconventional interfaces, such as soft and curved biological systems, in which traditional silicon-based electronics would confront a mechanical mismatch. Biological polymers offer new opportunities flexible by virtue of their biocompatibility, environmental benignity, sustainability, well low cost. As an intriguing abundant biomaterial, silk offers exquisite mechanical, optical, electrical properties that advantageous...
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) comprise a group of natural biodegradable polyesters that are synthesized by microorganisms. However, several disadvantages limit their competition with traditional synthetic plastics or application as ideal biomaterials. These include poor mechanical properties, high production cost, limited functionalities, incompatibility conventional thermal processing techniques and susceptibility to degradation. To circumvent these drawbacks, PHAs need be modified ensure...
Hydrogels are three-dimensional networked materials that similar to soft biological tissues and have highly variable mechanical properties, making them increasingly important in a variety of biomedical industrial applications. Herein we report the preparation extremely high water content hydrogels (up 99.7% by weight) driven strong host-guest complexation with cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]). Cellulosic derivatives commodity polymers such as poly(vinyl alcohol) were modified strongly binding guests...
Although some progress has been made on stretchable supercapacitors, traditional supercapacitors fabricated by predesigning structured electrodes for device assembling still lack the device-level editability and programmability. To adapt to wearable electronics with arbitrary configurations, it is highly desirable develop editable that can be directly transferred into shapes stretchability. In this work, customizable stretchability using based mechanically strengthened ultralong MnO2...
Dual-functionality carbon dots with both anti-microbial and gene transfection abilities were developed their properties elaborated in this paper.
Biodegradable poly(lactic acid) (PLA)–lignin composites are considered to be promising renewable plastic materials toward a sustainable world. The addition of lignin PLA may assist combat the oxidative stress induced by as biomaterials. In this study, PLA–lignin copolymers with various contents alkylated (10–50%) were synthesized ring-opening polymerization. molecular weight such ranged from 28 75 kDa, while chain length varied 5 38. These further blended poly(l-lactide) (PLLA) and...
Fiber-shaped stretchable strain sensors with small testing areas can be directly woven into textiles. This paves the way for design of integrated wearable devices capable obtaining real-time mechanical feedback various applications. However, a simple fiber that undergoes uniform distribution during deformation, it is still big challenge to obtain high sensitivity. Herein, new strategy, surface redistribution, reported significantly enhance sensitivity fiber-shaped sensors. A method transient...
Human behaviors are extremely sophisticated, relying on the adaptive, plastic and event-driven network of sensory neurons. Such neuronal system analyzes multiple cues efficiently to establish accurate depiction environment. Here, we develop a bimodal artificial neuron implement fusion processes. collects optic pressure information from photodetector sensors respectively, transmits through an ionic cable, integrates them into post-synaptic currents by synaptic transistor. The can be excited...
