Three-dimensional flexible porous conductors have significantly advanced wearable sensors and stretchable devices because of their specific high surface area. Dip coating polymers with graphene is a facile, low cost, scalable approach to integrate conductive layers the polymer substrate platforms; however, products often suffer from nanoparticle delamination overtime decay. Here, fabrication scheme based on accessible methods safe materials introduced surface-dope silicone nanoplatelets. The...

Addition of molecular cross-links to polymers increases mechanical strength and improves corrosion resistance. However, it remains challenging install in low-functionality macromolecules a well-controlled manner. Typically, high-energy processes are required generate highly reactive radicals situ, allowing only limited control over the degree type cross-link. We rationally designed bis-diazirine molecule whose decomposition into carbenes under mild controllable conditions enables...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) with narrow size distribution and stabilized by polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were synthesized. The particles prepared a coprecipitation technique using ferric ferrous salts molar Fe3+/Fe2+ ratio of 2. Using design experiments (DOE) approach, the effect different synthesis parameters (stirring rate base molarity) on structure, morphology, saturation magnetization, purity, size, synthesized magnetite was studied various analysis techniques...

Abstract This study presents a low‐cost, tunable, and stretchable sensor fabricated based on spandex (SpX) yarns coated with graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) through dip‐coating process. The SpX/GnP is wrapped into silicone rubber (SR) sheath to protect the conductive layer against harsh conditions, which allows for fabricating washable wearable sensors. Dip‐coating parameters are optimized obtain maximum GnP coating rate. covering tailored achieve high stretchability beyond sensing limit of...

Laser additive manufacturing has led to a paradigm shift in the design of next-generation customized porous implants aiming integrate better with surrounding bone. However, conflicting criteria have limited development fully functional implants; increasing porosity improves body fluid/cell-laden prepolymer permeability at expense compromising mechanical stability. Here, functionally gradient and scaffolds designed based on interconnected triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are...

Abstract Modern materials science has witnessed the era of advanced fabrication methods to engineer functionality from nano‐ macroscales. Versatile and additive manufacturing are developed, but ability design a material for given application is still limited. Here, novel strategy that enables target‐oriented ultra‐lightweight aerogels with on‐demand characteristics introduced. The process relies on controllable liquid templating through interfacial complexation generate tunable,...
