This work focuses on multi-stimuli-responsive materials with distinctive abilities, that is, color-changing and shape-memory. Using metallic composite yarns and polymeric/thermochromic microcapsule composite fibers, processed via a melt-spinning technique, an electrothermally multi-responsive fabric is woven. The resulting smart-fabric transfers from a predefined structure to an original shape while changing color upon heating or applying an electric field, making it appealing for advanced applications.

Herein, a cellulose-based aerogel, containing graphene-oxide (GO), chemically-reduced-GO (CrGO), and thermally-reduced-GO (TrGO), has been facile prepared to investigate mechanical and electrical properties as well as meso-(nano)structure features. The effect of reduction processes on the cellulose/GO aerogel was tracked by FT-IR spectroscopy and EDS analysis, confirming the accomplishment of reduction processes-carbon/oxygen (C/O) ratio asserted it evidently. The formation of porous structure has been declared using SEM micrographs, and then, Mercury-porosimetry and BET tests revealed meso-(nano)structure of aerogels.
