Abstract Artificial muscle materials promise incredible applications in actuators, robotics and medical apparatus, yet the ability to mimic full characteristics of skeletal muscles into synthetic remains a huge challenge. Herein, inspired by dynamic sacrificial bonds biomaterials self-strengthening physical exercise, high performance artificial material is prepared rearrangement coordination polyolefin elastomer via repetitive mechanical training process. Biomass lignin incorporated as green...

In this work, half the mass of carbon black (CB) was replaced by lignin for preparation high-performance nitrile rubber/poly(vinyl chloride) composites via constructing interfacial Zn2+-based coordination bonds. It demonstrated that played a significant role as natural ligand to form interactions in interphase between and rubber matrix. The tensile strength Young's modulus were significantly enhanced bonds owing dynamic fracture thermo-oxidative aging resistance improved could be...

Semicrystalline elastomer-based artificial muscles (sePAMs) are of high actuation strain generally above 30% and promising for applications soft robots, flexible electronics, etc. However, a comprehensive in-depth understanding the behavior mechanisms sePAMs is lacking. This obstructs future design development sePAMs. In this paper, we reported sePAM with 40% under 1.0 MPa. Furthermore, presented an analysis underlying molecular thermodynamic related to strain. It found that both...

Abstract Unsymmetrical 3‐arylidene‐2‐oxindoles are useful pharmacophores for many clinical drugs or intermediates in alkaloids synthesis. An Iridium III ‐catalyzed sequential C−H oxidative reaction of 2‐indolyl enamides has been established. This protocol utilized α,α ‐dimethyl benzylhydroperoxide as the oxidant and silver fluoride a key promoter, to provide wide range ( Z )‐3‐arylidene‐2‐oxindole imides moderate good yields, together with regio‐ stereoselectivity. The was found function...
