The facile and rapid fabrication of oriented porous polymers is crucial for flexible pressure sensors. Herein, a pressure sensor is developed based on oriented porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites for detecting human motion and identifying joint motion patterns. The oriented porous PDMS composite is first constructed through thiol-ene click chemistry and directional freezing within only 30 min, then fabricated by interfacial in situ polymerization of dopamine and pyrrole to generate robust interfaces. As a result, the as-prepared oriented porous PDMS composite is assembled into a pressure sensor that shows potential applications in pressure and human motion detection. Interestingly, a sensor assembled by orthogonally stacking the PDMS composites can be used for joint motion pattern recognition with potential monitoring of football motion due to their directional structures. This facile strategy coupled with the oriented porous structure is expected to help design advanced wearable electronic devices.

Zeolite coatings are studied as molecular sieves for membrane separation, membrane reactors, and chemical sensor applications. They are also studied as anticorrosive films for metals and alloys, antimicrobial and hydrophobic films for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, and dielectrics for semiconductor applications. Zeolite coatings are synthesized by hydrothermal, ionothermal, and dry-gel conversion approaches, which require high process temperatures and lengthy times (ranging from hours to days).

Investigation of factors affecting the sound absorption behaviour of 3D printed hexagonal prism lattice polyamide structures.

Sci Rep

December 2024

Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Department of Machining, Assembly and Engineering Metrology, VSB-Technical University of Ostrava, Ostrava-Poruba, 708 00, Czech Republic.

The aim of this work is to investigate the sound absorption properties of open-porous polyamide 12 (PA12) structures produced using Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) technology. The examined 3D-printed samples, fabricated with hexagonal prism lattice structures, featured varying thicknesses, cell sizes, and orientations. Additionally, some samples were produced with an outer shell to evaluate its impact on sound absorption.

Magnetic Field-Induced Control of Crystal Orientation in Porous CuNi Films for Enhanced Electrocatalytic Hydrogen Evolution.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Porous CuNi films are promising candidates for electrocatalytic water splitting, with their catalytic performance largely influenced by the crystallographic structure and chemical state. In this study, by employing a magnetic field-controlled bubble template-assisted electrodeposition method, CuNi films with a preferred Ni(111) crystal orientation were synthesized. Moreover, adjusting the magnetic field direction during deposition can affect the degree of preferred orientation and, consequently, the electrochemical activity of the films.

Submicron particulate matter (PM) can penetrate deeply into human tissue, posing a serious threat to human health. However, the electrostatic charge of commercial respirators is easily dissipated, making it difficult to maintain long-term filtration. Herein, a hierarchically porous filter based on nanofibers with accessible porosity and particulate-attractive surfaces, achieving significant filtration performance is developed through polarity-driven interactions.

Angstrom-Scale Defect-Free Crystalline Membrane for Sieving Small Organic Molecules.

Adv Mater

December 2024

State Key Laboratory of Materials-Oriented Chemical Engineering, College of Chemical Engineering, Nanjing Tech University, 30 Puzhu Road, Nanjing, 211816, P. R. China.

Crystalline membranes, represented by the metal-organic framework (MOF) with well-defined angstrom-sized apertures, have shown great potential for molecular separation. Nevertheless, it remains a challenge to separate small molecules with very similar molecular size differences due to angstrom-scale defects during membrane formation. Herein, a stepwise assembling strategy is reported for constructing MOF membranes with intrinsic angstrom-sized lattice aperture lattice to separate organic azeotropic mixtures separation.
