Self-repairable materials strive to emulate curable and resilient biological tissue; however, their performance is currently insufficient for commercialization purposes because mending toughening are mutually exclusive. Herein, we report a carbonate-type thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer that self-heals at 35 °C exhibits tensile strength of 43 MPa; this as strong the soles used in footwear. Distinctively, it has abundant carbonyl groups soft-segments fully amorphous with negligible phase...
The demand for face masks is increasing exponentially due to the coronavirus pandemic and issues associated with airborne particulate matter (PM). However, both conventional electrostatic- nanosieve-based mask filters are single-use not degradable or recyclable, which creates serious waste problems. In addition, former loses function under humid conditions, while latter operates a significant air-pressure drop suffers from relatively fast pore blockage. Herein, biodegradable,...
Sensors with autonomous self-healing properties offer enhanced durability, reliability, and stability. Although numerous polymers have been attempted, achieving sensors fast reversible recovery under ambient conditions high mechanical toughness remains challenging. Here, a highly sensitive wearable sensor made of robust bio-based supramolecular polymer that is capable via hydrogen bonding presented. The integration carbon fiber thread into matrix provides new toolset can easily be knitted...
Abstract Perishable foods at undesired temperatures can generate foodborne illnesses that present significant societal costs. To certify refrigeration succession in a food‐supply chain, flexible, easy‐to‐interpret, damage‐tolerant, and sensitive time‐temperature indicator (TTI) uses self‐healing nanofiber mat is devised. This opaque when refrigerated due to nanofiber‐induced light scattering, but becomes irreversibly transparent room temperature through self‐healing‐induced interfibrillar...
Abstract With the development of wearable electronics, use engineered functional inks with printing technologies has attracted attention owing to its potential for applications in low‐cost, high‐throughput, and high‐performance devices. However, improvement conductivity stretchability mass production is still a challenge practical applications. Herein, scalable efficient fluid dynamics process that produces highly stretchable, conductive, printable containing high concentration graphene...
Stretchable sensors based on conductive hydrogels have attracted considerable attention for wearable electronics. However, their practical applications been limited by the low sensitivity, high hysteresis, and long response times of hydrogels. In this study, we developed high-performance poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) post-treated with NaCl, which showed excellent mechanical properties, fast electrical response, ultralow...

Poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposite fibers were dry-jet wet spun at the GO concentrations of 0, 1, and 2 wt % with respect to polymer. The as-spun drawn in draw ratio (DR) range 2–6.5, correlation between PVDF chain conformation mechanical properties upon drawing has been studied by two-dimensional spectroscopy Fourier-transformed infrared, wide-angle X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, tensile testing. PVDF/GO exhibited that mobile crystals...
