Fine count two-ply yarn supercapacitors are constructed from carbon nanotube yarns and polyaniline nanowires. The thread-like supercapacitor possess excellent electrochemical capacity very strong flexible. When being woven or knitted into wearable electronic devices, alone in combination with conventional textile yarns, the can be flexed stretched repeatedly without significant loss of capacitance. As a service to our authors readers, this journal provides supporting information supplied by...
Linear (fiber or yarn) supercapacitors have demonstrated remarkable cyclic electrochemical performance as power source for wearable electronic textiles. The challenges are, first, to scale up the linear a length that is suitable textile manufacturing while their maintained preferably further improved and, second, develop practical, continuous production technology these supercapacitors. Here, we present core/sheath structured carbon nanotube yarn architecture and method one-step spinning of...
Yarn supercapacitors are promising power sources for flexible electronic applications that require conventional fabric-like durability and wearer comfort. Carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn is an attractive choice constructing used in wearable textiles because of its high strength flexibility. However, low capacitance energy density limits the use pure CNT high-energy devices. Here, transitional metal oxide pseudocapacitive materials NiO Co3 O4 deposited on as-spun surface using a simple...
Epoxy vitrimers with dynamic covalent networks enable reprocessing and recycling of epoxy thermosets. However, achieving high mechanical performance remains a challenge. In this work, ferulic acid-based hyperbranched resin (FEHBP) was synthesized to produce closed-loop recyclable catalyst-free without compromising its thermal properties. The incorporation FEHBP topological structure improved the tensile strength, modulus, toughness through an in situ reinforcing toughening mechanism....
Abstract Interfacial solar steam generators (ISSGs) can capture energy and concentrate the heat at gas–liquid interface, resulting in efficient water evaporation. However, traditional ISSGs have limitations long‐term seawater desalination processes, such as limited light absorption area, slow transport speed, severe surface salt accumulation, weak mechanical performance. Inspired by lotus seedpods, a novel ISSG (rGO‐SA‐PSF) is developed treating 3D warp‐knitted spacer fabric with plasma...
The regulation of topological structure covalent adaptable networks (CANs) remains a challenge for epoxy CANs. Here, we report strategy to develop strong and tough supramolecular thermosets with rapid reprocessability room-temperature closed-loop recyclability. These were constructed from vanillin-based hyperbranched resin (VanEHBP) through the introduction intermolecular hydrogen bonds dual dynamic bonds, as well formation intramolecular cavities. structures confer remarkable energy...
A degradable and recyclable thermoset hyperbranched epoxy resin was synthesized from bio-based 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid.
Strong and flexible two-ply carbon nanotube yarn supercapacitors are electrical double layer capacitors that possess relatively low energy storage capacity. Pseudocapacitance metal oxides such as MnO₂ well known for their high electrochemical performance can be coated on yarns to significantly improve the of supercapacitors. We produced a asymmetric supercapacitor from as-spun CNT CNT@Mn₂2 composite in aqueous electrolyte. The serves negative electrode CNT@MnO₂ positive electrode. This...
Currently, only 5% of thermoset carbon fiber reinforced polymer composites (CFRPs) are recycled into lower-value secondary products. Highly efficient closed-loop recycling both resin and is a major challenge. Here, we report sustainable approach for the from CFRPs. Thiol-functionalized (TCF) obtained by functionalization with thiol-ended hyperbranched polymer, then an epoxy-ended degradable (HT3) used to prepare HT3/TCF composites, which show considerable acid resistance mechanical...
The development of epoxy vitrimers with excellent overall properties and recyclability has been a great challenge.
Large-scale applications of flame-retardant epoxy resins have caused sustainability concerns on the use renewable resources and end-of-life wastes. New strategies are required to address chemical recycling fire-safe resins. Here, we demonstrated recyclable (FREPs) using itaconic acid-derived hyperbranched resin (IA-EHBP) (1,3,5-hexahydro-s-triazine-1,3,5-triyl) benzyl mercaptan (HT-BM). The unique structure enabled a closed-loop network that can be degraded into monomers with up 86% yield...
The strength and toughness of thermoset epoxy resins are generally mutually exclusive, as the high performance rapid recyclability. Experimentally determined mechanical values usually much lower than their theoretical values. preparation with modulus, toughness, ultrastrong strength, highly efficient recyclability is still a challenge. Here, novel hyperbranched (Bn, n = 6, 12, 24) imide structures by thiol-ene click reaction. Bn shows an excellent comprehensive function in simultaneously...
Since the invention of small arms ammunition, human torso has required protection from hand-gun bullets, and today’s civil military personnel are regularly clad in soft body armor systems to cope with these threats. However, increasingly, threat spectrum widened include a plethora both edged pointed weapons. Over past two decades particular, this development either specific armors defeat that particular threat, or multi-threat vests can resist bullets knife spike attacks. In review, we...
