Bacterial Cellulose/Zwitterionic Dual-network Porous Gel Polymer Electrolytes with High Ionic Conductivity

Bacterial cellulose(BC)was innovatively combined with zwitterionic copolymer acrylamide and sulfobetaine methacrylic acid ester[P(AM-co-SBMA)]to build a dual-network porous structure gel polymer electrolytes(GPEs)with high ionic conductivity.The dual network structure BC/P(AM-co-SBMA)gels were formed by a simple one-step polymerization method.The results show that ionic conductivity of BC/P(AM-co-SBMA)GPEs at the room temperature are 3.2×10^(-2) S/cm@1 M H_(2)SO_(4),4.5×10^(-2) S/cm@4 M KOH,and 3.6×10^(-2) S/cm@1 M NaCl,respectively.Using active carbon(AC)as the electrodes,BC/P(AM-co-SBMA)GPEs as both separator and electrolyte matrix,and 4 M KOH as the electrolyte,a symmetric solid supercapacitors(SSC)(AC-GPE-KOH)was assembled and testified.The specific capacitance of AC electrode is 173 F/g and remains 95.0%of the initial value after 5000 cycles and 86.2%after 10,000 cycles.

Study on the Characteristics of A New Hybrid Mooring System for DualPlatform Joint Operations

As the sustainable exploitation of marine resources develops,dual-platform joint operation has caught increasing attention.Dual-platform joint operation requires smaller relative motion between the two sub-platforms,which is normally difficult to be satisfied by the traditional mooring system.Therefore,a new hybrid mooring system is developed and studied in this article.To ensure safety during platform movements,both the number of anchor chains and the relative motion between the two sub-platforms are reduced in the new hybrid mooring system.By performing numerical simulations based on three-dimensional potential flow theory in AQWA and physical experiments,the performances of both the new hybrid and traditional mooring systems under two different wave conditions(i.e.,working wave and freak wave conditions) are systematically investigated.Regarding the new hybrid mooring system,the relative stability between the two sub-platforms of the new system is better,and the platforms can restore stability faster when affected by freak waves.

Robust,self-adhesive,and low-contact impedance polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylamide dual-network hydrogel semidry electrode for biopotential signal acquisition

Herein,we fabricated a flexible semidry electrode with excellent mechanical performance,satisfactory self-adhesiveness,and low-contact impedance using physical/chemical crosslinked polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylamide dual-network hydrogels(PVA/PAM DNHs)as an efficient saline reservoir.The resultant PVA/PAM DNHs showed admirable adhesive and compliance to the hairy scalp,facilitating the establishment of a robust electrode/skin interface for biopotential signal transmission.Moreover,the PVA/PAM DNHs steadily released trace saline onto the scalp to achieve the minimized potential drift(1.47±0.39 mV/min)and low electrode–scalp impedance(18.2±8.9 kΩ@10 Hz).More importantly,the application feasibility of real-world brain−computer interfaces(BCIs)was preliminarily validated by 10 participants using two classic BCI paradigms.The mean temporal cross-correlation coefficients between the semidry and wet electrodes in the eyes open/closed and the N200 speller paradigms are 0.919±0.054 and 0.912±0.050,respectively.Both electrodes demonstrate anticipated neuroelectrophysiological responses with similar patterns.This semidry electrode could also effectively capture robust P-QRS-T peaks during electrocardiogram recording.Considering their outstanding advantages of fast setup,user-friendliness,and robust signals,the proposed PVA/PAM DNH-based electrode is a promising alternative to wet electrodes in biopotential signal acquisition.

A lightweight and high compressive resistance thermal insulation material with dual-network structure

Ceramic fibrous aerogels are highly desirable for thermal management materials due to their high porosity,excellent elasticity,thermal conductivity,and good thermal resistance.However,the fabrication of nanofibrous aerogel with super-elasticity and good shape retention at the same time has remained challenging.To meet the requirements,a novel anisotropy nanofibrous-granular aerogel with a quasi-layered multi-arch-like and hierarchical-cellular structure is designed and prepared by vacuum-filtration-assisted freeze-drying and sintering.The quasi-layered multi-arch and flexible nanofibers endowed the aerogels with excellent mechanical robustness(ultimate stress up to 60 kPa with strain 60%)and super-elasticity with recoverable compression strain up to 60%.The introduced SiO_(2) aerogel nanoparticles and nanofibers are assembled into an arch-like structure and become the connection point of adjacent nanofibers,which endows low thermal conductivity(0.024 mW/(m·K))of composite aerogel.This novel strategy provides a fresh perspective for the preparation of nanofibrous aerogel with robust mechanical in thermal insulation and other fields.

Self-healing Behavior of Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubbers Based on Ionic Association

To meet the increasing demand for safe, environmentally friendly and high-performance smart materials, self-healing rubbers are highly desired. Here, the self-healing performance of ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) is reported, which was designed by graft-polymerization of zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) onto rubber chains to form a reversible ionic cross-linked network. Single ionic cross-linked network and dual network, combining covalent and ionic cross-links, could be tuned by controlling vulcanization process to achieve tailorable mechanical and self-healing properties. It was found that ionic cross-linked EPDM showed a recovery of more than 95% of the original mechanical strength through a healing process of 1 h at 100 °C. The covalent cross-links could improve mechanical properties but block self-healing. Adding 50 wt% liquid rubber to “dry” EPDM could effectively enhance self-healing capability of the dual cross-linked network and the healed tensile strength could reach 0.9 MPa. A compromise between mechanical performance and healing capability could be potentially tailored by controlling vulcanization process and liquid rubber content.

Rhodamine Mechanophore Functionalized Mechanochromic Double Network Hydrogels with High Sensitivity to Stress

Mechanochromic hydrogels, a new class of stimuli-responsive soft materials, have potential applications in a number of fields such as damage reporting and stress/strain sensing. We prepared a novel mechanochromic hydrogel using a strategy that has been developed to prepare dual-network(DN) hydrogels. A hydrophobic rhodamine derivative(Rh mechanophore) was covalently incorporated into a first network as a cross-linker. This first network embedded with Rh mechanophore within the DN hydrogel was pre-stretched. This guaranteed that the stress could be transferred extensively to the Rh-crosslinked first network once the hydrogel was under an applied force. Interestingly, we found that the threshold stress required to activate the mechanochromism of the hydrogel was less than 200 kPa, and much less than those in previous reports. Moreover, because of the excellent sensitivity of the hydrogel to stress, the DN hydrogel exhibited reversible freezing-induced mechanochromism. Benefiting from the sensitivity of Rh mechanophore to both p H and force, the DN hydrogel showed p H-regulated mechanochromic behavior. Our experimental results indicate that the preparation strategy we used introduces sensitive mechanochromism into the hydrogel and preserves the advantageous mechanical properties of the DN hydrogel. These results will be beneficial to the design and preparation of mechanochromic hydrogels with high stress sensitivity, and foster their practical applications in a number of fields such as damage reporting and stress/strain sensing.

Topological network design toward high-performance vegetable oil-based elastomers

As a kind of bio-derived feedstock,vegetable oil(VO)shows great potential to replace petroleum-based monomers to develop sustainable polymer materials because of its easy availability,low cost,bio-renewable,and environmentally friendly nature.However,due to the high cross-linking density and amorphous nature,directly cured VOs generally tend to be brittle and weak.To date,it is still difficult to adopt VOs and their derivatives as structural materials to prepare high-performance elastomers.To address this important issue,amulti-scale topology design strategy was proposed in this work.First,topology regulation and functionalization of VO-based networks were realized by managing functional groups proportion during the bulk polymerization of epoxidized soybean oil with dimer fatty acids.Furthermore,a second polymer(SN)network was introduced into the VO-based network as a protective layer via interfacial cross-links.The generated VO-based elastomers(VOEs)exhibit unprecedented comprehensive properties(VO content≥70 wt.%,T_(g)as low as−24.4℃,toughness up to 6.8 MJ/m^(3)).Besides,the VOEs also exhibit excellent reprocessability and self-healing capability.Overall,this work developed a novel kind of VOEs with significant comprehensive advantages and provided important inspiration for the preparation of high-performance elastomers throughmulti-scale topology regulation.

Nanonet-/fiber-structured flexible ceramic membrane enabling dielectric energy storage

Ceramics are considered intrinsically brittle at macro scale due to the lack of slip mechanism and pre-existing defects,which greatly limits their potential applications in emerging fields including wearable electronic devices and flexible display.In this contribution,we developed BiFeO_(3)/SiO_(2) dual-networks with exceptional flexibility through a coupled electronetting/electrospun method.The hybrid nanostructured networks endow the material with high tensile strength(2.7 MPa),excellent flexibility(80%recoverable deformation),and robust fatigue resistance performance(maintain flexibility after a 1000-cyclic compress test).After in-situ compounded with dielectric polymer via a layer-by-layer solution casting method,the resultant three-dimensional(3D)composite film exhibits a twice higher dielectric constant(εr)than polyether imide(PEI)film.More importantly,the breakdown strength of the 3D composite film is almost the same as that of the PEI film,resulting in an enhanced energy density of~6.0 J/cm^(3) and a high efficiency of 80%at 4.58 MV/cm.The unique structure,combined with the excellent balance between mechanical and dielectric properties in flexible structures,is of critical significance to the design of flexible functional ceramics and broadening their applications in wearable electric devices.
