Abstract Polyzwitterionic hydrogel is an emerging material for solar‐driven water evaporation in saline environment due to its special anti‐polyelectrolyte effect, which a promising approach co‐generation of freshwater and electricity. However, the molecular impact on effect remains unclear, let alone optimize zwitterionic structure promote efficiency high‐salinity brine. Herein, molecularly engineered developed incorporated phenyl‐methylene‐imidazole motif greatly enhances salt binding...
Abstract Binder plays an important role in maintaining the integrity of sulfur electrode lithium‐sulfur (Li‐S) battery. However, cracks are easily generated inside and compromise its performance due to volume change during redox reaction continuous vibration originated from external environments. It is a challenge yet crucial develop tough binders with crack‐insensitivity damping performance. Herein, polymeric binder designed special viscoelastic behavior by tailoring electrolyte‐philic...
Developing hydrogels with high conductivity and toughness via a facile strategy is important yet difficult. Here, we propose new to develop conductive by growing metal dendrites. The...
Conductive polymer hydrogels (CPHs) that combine the unique properties of and electronic conductors have shown their great potentials in wearable/implantable devices, where materials with remarkable mechanical properties, high conductivity, easy processability are demanding. Here, we developed a new type polyion complex/polyaniline (PIC/PAni) hybrid tough, conductive, can be facilely patterned. The incorporation conductive phase (PAni) into PIC matrix through phytic acid resulted gels ∼65 wt...
Stiff yet recoverable water-containing materials can be found in many biological tissues including tendons, cartilages, and skins. However, it remains a challenge to develop hydrogels as load-bearing where high stiffness toughness, well fast recoverability, are required. Making framework more compact with rigid chains could make gel stiffer but also restrict its recovery for lower chain mobility. Here, we report hydrogel by incorporating polyrotaxane into physically cross-linked network...
Developing conductive underwater glue for fast sealing and in situ monitoring is critical ocean exploration yet remains a challenge. The fluidity of double‐edged sword that favorable molecule spreading formation interlocking bonding network also leads to leakage ions. Herein, polymeric possessing good conductivity exhibiting rapid, strong, long‐lasting adhesion on diverse substrates at various harsh environments extreme temperatures developed. For molecular design, the nitrogen heterocyclic...
Various glassy hydrogels are developed by forming dense physical associations within the matrices, which exhibit forced elastic deformation and possess high stiffness, strength, toughness. Here, viscoplastic behaviors of hydrogel poly(methacrylamide-co-methacrylic acid) investigated stress relaxation creep measurements. We found that characteristic time gel is much smaller than amorphous polymers. The varying hydrogen bond strength leads to a broad distribution structural activation...
We have investigated the culture of human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) on interfaces thermotropic liquid crystal, TL205, that are decorated with thin films extracellular matrix, Matrigel. hESCs seeded at liquid-crystal/Matrigel interface survive for weeks, and cell colonies grow over this time. The show levels differentiation comparable to observed Matrigel-coated glass controls. Polarized fluorescence microscopy reveal orientational order crystal is coupled presence organization This...
Morphogenesis is one of the most marvelous natural phenomena. The morphological characteristics biological organs develop through growth, which often triggered by mechanical force. In this study, we propose a bioinspired strategy for hydrogel morphogenesis force-controlled chemical reaction and growth under isothermal conditions. We adopted double network (DN) with sacrificial bonds. Applying force to gel caused deformation bond rupture. By supplying monomers gel, radicals generated rupture...
