Self-Healing Flexible Sensor Based on Epoxidized Natural Rubber with the Synergistic Effect of Coordination and Hydrogen Bonds.

The use of highly tensile and self-healing conductive composites has gained considerable interest due to their wide range of applications in healthcare, sensors, and robotics. Epoxidized natural rubber (ENR), known for its ability to undergo highly reversible deformation, can be utilized in strain sensors to effectively transmit a broader range of signal changes. In this study, we introduced a self-healing ENR composite specifically designed for high-strain sensors.

Sandwich-Type Self-Healing Sensor with Multilevel for Motion Detection.

Real-time detection of various parts of the human body is crucial in medical monitoring and human-machine technology. However, existing self-healing flexible sensing materials are limited in real-life applications due to the weak stability of conductive networks and difficulty in balancing stretchability and self-healing properties. Therefore, the development of wearable flexible sensors with high sensitivity and fast response with self-healing properties is of great interest.

Highly Stretchable, Ultra-Sensitive, and Self-Healable Multifunctional Flexible Conductive Hydrogel Sensor for Motion Detection and Information Transmission.

Self-healable flexible sensing materials are extensively investigated for their potential use in human motion detection, healthcare monitoring, and other fields. However, the existing self-healable flexible sensing materials have limited their application in real life due to the weak stability of the conductive network and the difficulty in balancing stretchability and self-healing performances. In this paper, a flexible sensor with skin-like properties was prepared by composing a polymer composite hydrogel with a multiple network structure consisting of polyaniline, polyvinyl alcohol, chitosan, and phytic acid.

Carbon Nanotubes/Polydopamine/ZSM-5 Composite Soil Conditioner with Good Controlled Release and Adsorption Properties.

Currently, the excessive application of fertilizers and the random discharge of waste water, waste gas, and residues have led to more and more serious soil pollution problems. Zeolite is the most promising material for preparing a green and environmentally friendly soil conditioner. Herein, the carbon nanotubes/polydopamine/ZSM-5 composite soil conditioner was prepared by a facile two-step method, and it was used to release fulvic acid and adsorb methylene blue to improve the environment.

Aminated Multiwalled Carbon Nanotube-Doped Magnetic Flower-like WSe Nanosheets for Efficient Adsorption in Acidic Wastewater.

The water body environment is related to ecological and human health. Adsorption is an effective means to remove pollutants from water bodies. Currently, the common adsorbents suffer from disadvantages such as structural instability and poor adsorption performance under acidic conditions, which not only affect the adsorption efficiency but also cause secondary pollution of water bodies.
