Polymer-based atomic switch memristors via the formation/dissolution of atomic-scale conductive filaments are considered as the leading candidate for next-generation nonvolatile memory. However, the instability of conductive filaments of incomplete bridge makes their switching performances unsatisfied. In this work, we report a flexible polymeric memristor using polyethylenimine incorporated with silver salt. The memristor device exhibited superior performances at room temperature with a favorable endurance, high ON/OFF ratio, good retention, and low operating voltage. These satisfactory performances are attributed to the pre-existing Ag ions in the polymer, guiding the formation of a robust Ag filament. In addition, the device shows stable bipolar switching behavior in bending conditions or after hundreds of bending cycles. In our work, we provide a simple and efficient method to construct robust filament-based memristors for flexible electronics.

Bacteria can change morphology in response to stressors and changes in their environment, including infection of a host. We previously identified the bacterial species, , which uses nutrient-induced filamentation as a novel mechanism for cell-to-cell spreading in the intestinal epithelial cells of a nematode host. To further investigate the conservation of nutrient-induced filamentation in Bordetellae, we utilized the turkey-infecting species which filaments in vitro when switched from a standard growth media to an enriched media.

This study explored a facile method for converting macadamia nutshells into bio-based nanomaterials, including cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) and lignin nanoparticles (LNPs), through deep eutectic solvent (DES) pretreatment coupled with a nanofabrication strategy. Comparisons of the physicochemical, morphological, and structural properties of the CNF and LNPs produced through acidic choline chloride/oxalic acid dihydrate (ACDES) and alkaline KCO/glycerol DES (ALDES) pretreatments were conducted using SEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA, GPC and 2D NMR. The CNFs obtained from ACDES pretreatment (ACCNFs) exhibited uniform and long filament-like structures with shorter whisker-like nanocrystals.

Smart textiles provide a significant technological advancement, but their development must balance traditional textile properties with electronic features. To address this challenge, this study introduces a flexible, electrically conductive composite material that can be fabricated using a continuous bi-component extrusion process, making it ideal for sensor electrodes. The primary aim was to create a composite for the filament's core, combining multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), polypropylene (PP), and thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), optimised for conductivity and flexibility.

Biological surfaces with physical discontinuity or chemical heterogeneity possess special wettability in the form of anisotropic wetting behavior. However, there are several challenges in designing and manufacturing samples with anisotropic wettability. This study investigates the fabrication of PTFE/PDMS grid membranes using Direct Ink Writing (DIW) 3D printing for oil-water separation applications.

The idea supporting the investigation of the current manuscript was to develop customized filters for air conditioners with different pore percentages and geometry with the additional advantage of presenting antibacterial performance. This property was expected due to the reinforcement of Cu nanoparticles in the polymeric matrix of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polyurethane (TPU). The filaments were characterized by their chemical composition, thermal and mechanical properties, and antibacterial behavior before and after processing by fused filament fabrication.
