Developing bio-based flame retardants according to a green and simple strategy has drawn extensive attention recently. Hence, biomass-derived, flame-retardant, latent curing agent (IMPA) was synthesized via the neutralization between imidazole phytic acid in water at room temperature applied for single-component epoxy resin (EP). The results indicate that shelf life of resultant EP (EP/IMPA) increases from <1 day control 10 days temperature. Meanwhile, EP/IMPA features fast rate modest...
Abstract Inspired by a cactus spine and trichomes integrated fog collection system, strategy is presented to design micro/nanostructured conical Janus membrane integrative system (MNCS+JM). In this strategy, the surface of can be covered with rough micro nanostructure (MNCS), so that tiny fog‐droplets captured, coalesced, transported. (JM) inside hydrophobic outside hydrophilic further used control water in process droplet transport when vertically placed different positions on MNCS, thus...
The bioinspired nanocone-decorated three-dimensional fiber network (N3D) can be fabricated, where an original 3D web is designed, inspired by some newest research findings of spider web, and it decorated with hydrophilic zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocones cactus spine. Multilevel high specific surface area exposure on together the decoration enables to more attractive water molecules. These capture fog droplet, generate coalesced accordingly make droplet transport efficient because Laplace pressure...
Nature has developed unique strategies to refine and optimise structural performance. Using surfaces designed at multiple length scales, from micro nano levels, combined with complex chemistries, different natural organisms can exhibit similar wetting but adhesion liquids under specific environments. These biological have inspired researchers develop new approaches control surface liquid behaviour via adhesion. Here we review the interaction of solid efforts implement these in synthetic...
Bacterial infection, the cause of many diseases, has become one most severe global public health threats. The emergence antimicrobial resistance poses a significant challenge in treating bacterial infections. Recently, synthetic macrocycles with various well-defined cavities and excellent dynamic, reversible, directional noncovalent interactions can not only form complexation biomarkers or drugs via host–guest recognition but also enable controlled drug delivery response to external stimuli,...
Abstract Thermoelectric devices (TEDs) show great potential for waste heat energy recycling and sensing. However, existing TEDs cannot be self‐adapted to the complex quadratic surface, leading significant loss restricting their working scenario. Here, surface‐conformable origami‐TEDs (o‐TEGs) are developed through programmable crease‐designed origami substrates screen‐printing TE legs. Compared with “π” structured TEDs, design (with conductive materials) changed heat‐transferring direction...
Manufacturing carbon-fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites via different techniques often leads to contrasting surface topographies. Such differences can affect any subsequent pre-treatments that are performed and these ultimately joint strength. In the present work, CFRP adherends made using compression moulding or autoclaving were investigated. Pre-treatment of acetone cleaning, plasma treatment, grit blasting studied. It was found patterned surfaces which had resulted from vacuum...
Bioelectronic skin sensors (BSSs) provide more opportunities for human health monitoring and therapy. However, most suffer from detachment caused by weak adhesion of polymers in humid physiological environments, which severely limits their applications. Here, we report a sweat-resistant BSS (SRBSS) with high sensitivity to bioelectric signals motion detection. This SRBSS not only exhibits strong dry, oily, sweaty but also has stable sensitive electrical signal responsiveness. The low...
Abstract The controllable unidirectional spreading of droplet on tilt‐angle pillar arrays (TPAs) composed epoxy resin (TDE‐85) and polyethylene glycol is presented. TPAs are fabricated via soft lithography with multimolding steps that coupled a directional heat‐pressing temperature controlling process, in which structures generated by using temperature‐responsive shape memory polymers then act as mold. different tilt angles (e.g., unidirection opposite directions) thereby obtained. It found...
Abstract As one of the most widely distributed water resources, rainwater contains tremendous energy that cannot be effectively utilized by conventional electromagnetic generators. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) represent a method to convert trivial mechanical into electricity based on contact electrification. Benefiting from large and replenishable interfaces in liquid–liquid systems, TENG further promises efficient charge transfer. However, limited understanding electrification has...
