Abstract Developing novel filtering materials with both high permeation flux and rejection rate presents an enticing prospect for oil/water separation. In this paper, robust porous poly(melamine formaldehyde) (PMF) sponges superwettability controlled pore sizes through introducing layered double hydroxides (LDH) SiO 2 electrospun nanofibers are reported. The LDH nanoscrolls endow the sponge inherent superhydrophilicity act as size regulators by overlapping PMF mainframe. This approach allows...

Abstract Photoactuators have attracted significant interest for soft robot and gripper applications, yet most of them rely on free-space illumination, which requires a line-of-site low-loss optical path. While waveguide photoactuators can overcome this limitation, their actuating performances are fundamentally restricted by the nature standard fibres. Herein, we demonstrated miniature embedding fibre taper in polydimethylsiloxane/Au nanorod-graphene oxide photothermal film. The special...

The extreme out-of-plane flexibility makes single-layer graphene vulnerable to self-folding, driven by van der Waals interactions. Racket shaped bilayer edges form after which can significantly affect the electrical properties of graphenes.
