Ni-P-nano-ZrO(2) coatings were produced using the electroless deposition technique. To prevent agglomeration of zirconia nanoparticles in the plating bath, various surfactant additives (anionic, cationic, and nonionic) were used. The most stable bath was obtained with the addition of dodecyltrimethylammonium bromide (DTAB). The impact of this surfactant on the deposition rate, coating composition, and topography, as well as ζ potential of particles, was examined. Surface morphology and composition of the Ni-P-nano-ZrO(2) composite coatings was analyzed by various techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with in situ energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy. Coatings with a clearly greater amount of zirconia (21.88-22.10 wt.%) were obtained from baths containing DTAB in concentrations equal to or above its critical micelle concentration (cmc). For these surfactant concentrations, the reduction of Ni and P content was observed.

Conductive nanofibers can exhibit excellent mechanical properties such as flexibility, elasticity, porosity, large surface area-to-volume ratio, etc making them suitable for a wide range of applications including biosensor development. Their large surface area provides more active sites for immobilization of large amount of bioreceptors enabling more interaction sites with the target analytes, enhancing sensitivity and detection capabilities. However, engineering conductive nanofibers with such excellent properties is challenging limiting their effective deployment for intended applications.

The design of multifunctional, high-performance wearable heaters utilizing textile substrates has garnered increasing attention, particularly in the development of body temperature and health monitoring devices. However, fabricating these multifunctional wearable heaters while simultaneously ensuring flexibility, air permeability, Joule heating performance, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and antibacterial properties remains a significant challenge. This study utilizes phase transition lysozyme (PTL) film-mediated electroless deposition (ELD) technology to deposit silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on the cotton fabrics surface in a mild aqueous solution at room temperature, thereby constructing a wearable heater with long-term stability, high conductivity, and exceptional photothermal properties.
