This research was focused on the raw material level construction of bismuth oxybromide (BiOBr) catalysis-loaded 3D cross-linked network polyurethane (PU) foam via the in situ polymerization method. After modification of superhydrophobic polydivinylbenzene nanoparticles, the PU foam possessed excellent superhydrophobic stability. The larger selective absorption oil phase capacity depended on its macroporous structure, and the existence of catalyst BiOBr (the band gap energy was about 2.57 eV) among the PU foam played a crucial role in degrading water-soluble contaminants under visible light irradiation. In this article, the photocatalytic experiment results verify that it has remarkable recycle degradation ability (the degradation efficiency can reach ∼97%) and the capture experiments indicate that the uppermost active species is h.

Although superhydrophobic surfaces have various promising applications, their fabrication methods are often limited to 2D plane surfaces that are vulnerable to abrasion and have limited adhesion to the substrate. Herein, an ultraviolet (UV) curable ink with bulk superhydrophobicity, consisting of poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) resins, hydrophobic silica, and solvent (porogen), was successfully developed for UV-assisted direct write printing processing. After UV curing of the ink followed by solvent evaporation, the generated porous structure cooperates with silica particles to form a self-similar and hierarchical structure throughout the bulk material, which can keep its original morphology even after cyclic abrasion (over 1000 times) and thus exhibits durable superhydrophobicity.

Poly(vinyl alcohol--ethylene) (EVOH) nanofibrous aerogel (NFA) templates were fabricated through vacuum freeze-drying from EVOH nanofibrous suspensions. Aluminum oxide (AlO) layers were deposited onto highly porous templates to form organic-inorganic hybrid aerogels by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. Chemical and physical measurements showed that mechanical properties were improved through ALD.

Creating a configurable and controllable surface for structure-integrated multifunctionality of ultralight aerogels is of significance but remains a huge challenge because of the critical limitations of mechanical vulnerability and structural processability. Herein, inspired by , the facile and one-step coassembly approach is developed to allow the structured aerogels to spontaneously replicate -like textures for function-adaptable surfaces morphologically. The in situ superimposed construction of bioinspired topography and intrinsic topology is for the first time performed for programmable binary architectures with multifunctionality without engendering structural vulnerability and functional disruption.

Many applications proposed for functional nanofibers require their assembly into a monolithic cellular structure. The ability to maintain structural integrity upon large deformation is essential to ensure a macroscopic cellular material that functions reliably. However, it remains a great challenge to achieve high elasticity in three-dimensional (3D) nanofibrous networks.
