Abstract “Air‐conditioning” textiles with thermal‐ or moisture‐managing functions are of high interest for not only improving human comfort but also reducing energy consumption. However, making the textile sensitive to surrounding environment and exhibit adaptive thermal/moisture management still remains a great challenge. Herein, double‐sided synergetic Janus is developed, featuring reversible diode‐like water transportation adjustable thermal convection upon temperature change. The...
Organophosphonate-based nerve agents, such as VX, Sarin (GB), and Soman (GD), are among the most toxic chemicals to humankind. Recently, we have shown that Zr-based metal–organic frameworks (Zr-MOFs) can effectively catalyze hydrolysis of these for diminishing their toxicity. On other hand, utilizing materials in powder form is not practical, developing scalable economical processes integrating onto fibers crucial protective gear. Herein, report a scalable, template-free, aqueous...
Abstract Functional textiles with advanced moisture management can enhance human comfort and physiological health. However, conventional wet finishing processes used for are usually highly polluting exhibit poor fastness. Inspired by the strong underwater adhesion properties of mussels based on cation–π interaction, a novel superhydrophilic polymeric molecule cohesion property is designed poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fabric. The hydrophilic agent (CPHA) efficiently transform...
It is challenging to explore a unified solution for the treatment of oily wastewater from complex sources. Thus, membrane materials with flexible separation schemes are highly desired. Herein, we fabricated smart by electrospinning TiO2 doped polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibers. The as-formed beads-on-string structure and hierarchical roughness nanofibers contribute its superwetting/resisting property liquids, which desirable in oil/water separation. Switched simply UV (or sunlight)...
To develop an efficient water-collecting surface that integrates both fast water-capturing and easy drainage properties is of high current interest for addressing global water issues. In this work, a superhydrophobic was fabricated on cotton fabric via manipulation the roughness energy. This followed by subsequent spray coating TiO2 nanosol created light-induced superhydrophilic bumps with unique raised structure as result interfacial tension sprayed fiber surface. These induce wettability...
