Healable, Recyclable, and Ultra-Tough Waterborne Polyurethane Elastomer Achieved through High-Density Hydrogen Bonding Cross-Linking Strategy.

With the increasing popularity of elastomers in industry and daily life, their high performance and functionality have attracted widespread attention. However, it is a great challenge for them to possess both high mechanical properties and excellent healing and recovery capabilities due to the limitations of the preparation methods and the intrinsic microstructure of the elastomers. In this study, a strategy of ice-controlled interfacial stepwise cross-linking was proposed to prepare the waterborne polyurethane-based elastomers with ultrahigh-density hydrogen bonding interaction achieved by enhancing the utilization rate of phenol hydroxyl groups of tannic acid to the maximum extent.

Polypyrrole/Helical Carbon Nanotube Composite with Marvelous Photothermoelectric Performance for Longevous and Intelligent Internet of Things Application.

Helical carbon nanotube (HCNT) is a vital member of carbon nanomaterials, but little effort was devoted to explore its unique characteristics and applications during the past few decades. Here, we report an organic thermoelectric composite with an excellent photothermoelectric (PTE) effect by conformally wrapping polypyrrole (PPy) on the intricate surface of HCNTs, which have been confirmed to have remarkable near-infrared (NIR) photothermal conversion capability and ultralow heat transportation characteristics. The results indicate that with the increasing HCNT content, PPy shell thickness reduces and exhibits denser as well as partial orientation, while the inter-ring angle slowly decreases and the bipolaron becomes dominant in carrier composition gradually.

Constructing cellulose nanocrystal/graphene nanoplatelet networks in phase change materials toward intelligent thermal management.

The hybrid networks of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) were constructed in polyethylene glycol (PEG) through the common solution compounding processing, in which GNPs provided the thermally conductive path while CNCs restricted the leakage of PEG during the phase transition. The results showed that CNCs greatly enhanced the shape stability of the composite phase change materials (PCMs) while thermal conductivity was still maintained at high level. At the contents of 8 wt% (CNCs) and 4 wt% (GNPs), the enthalpy of the composite PCM was 145.

Constructing a Microcapacitor Network of Carbon Nanotubes in Polymer Blends via Crystallization-Induced Phase Separation Toward High Dielectric Constant and Low Loss.

Tailoring the distribution of nanoparticles and further constructing effective microcapacitors in polymer blends are important issues for developing high-performance polymer dielectric nanocomposites. The common method to control the selective localization of nanoparticles in an immiscible polymer blend is relatively difficult and it easily results in the accumulation of nanoparticles in one component, which usually leads to a dramatic increase of the dielectric loss in the nanocomposites. In this work, a novel strategy based on step-by-step crystallization has been proposed to tailor the refined distribution and dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in a melt-miscible blend poly(butylene succinate)/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PBS/PVDF) through the crystallization-induced phase separation and the engineered interfacial affinity between CNTs and polymer components to acquire high dielectric constant and low dielectric loss.

Melamine foam and cellulose nanofiber co-mediated assembly of graphene nanoplatelets to construct three-dimensional networks towards advanced phase change materials.

Organic phase change materials (OPCMs) play a great role in energy management owing to their large phase change enthalpy, but their intrinsic low thermal conductivity (TC) and bad encapsulation severely restrict their applications. To overcome these problems, we developed a novel but feasible method to fabricate a graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) aerogel with compact and oriented stacking in-plane walls and many through-plane bridges via melamine foam (MF) and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) co-mediated assembly of GNPs. After impregnating paraffin wax (PW), the composite PCMs exhibit a high TC of 1.

Background: Aphid (Macrosiphoniella sanbourni) stress drastically influences the yield and quality of chrysanthemum, and grafting has been widely used to improve tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses. However, the effect of grafting on the resistance of chrysanthemum to aphids remains unclear. Therefore, we used the RNA-Seq platform to perform a de novo transcriptome assembly to analyze the self-rooted grafted chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium T.

BN-Embedded Tetrabenzopentacene: A Pentacene Derivative with Improved Stability.

Considerable efforts have been devoted to achieving stable acene derivatives for electronic applications; however, the instability is still a major issue for such derivatives. To achieve higher stability with minimum structural change, CC units in the acenes were replaced with isoelectronic BN units to produce a novel BN-embedded tetrabenzopentacene (BNTBP). BNTBP, with a planar structure, is highly stable to air, moisture, light, and heat.
