Electrostatically Reinforced Double Network Granular Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Electrostatically reinforced double network granular hydrogels (DNGHs) with cartilage‐like fracture energy are introduced. An empirical model predicts the composition‐dependent fracture energy based on dissipation zone size, contact area, and inter‐particle adhesion energy. Thanks to their granular structure and the inter‐particle attraction, the DNGHs

Construction of Protein‐Like Helical‐Entangled Structure in Lithium‐Ion Silicon Anode Binders via Helical Recombination and Hofmeister Effect

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents a gelatin‐xanthan gum composite binder featuring a protein‐like helical‐entangled structure, formed through thermo‐responsive recombination and the Hofmeister effect. This innovative structure, akin to protein behavior, absorbs stress and strain, thereby enhancing the cycling stability and rate performance of silicon anodes in ...

How glass breaks -- Damage explains the difference between surface and fracture energies in amorphous silica [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
The difference between free surface energy and fracture toughness in amorphous silica is studied via multi-scale simulations. We combine the homogenization of a molecular dynamics fracture model with a phase-field approach to track and quantify the various energy contributions.

Self‐Catalyzed Chemically Coalescing Liquid Metal Emulsions

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A new type of liquid metal emulsion is developed that chemically activates and becomes electrically conductive under mild thermal stimulus. The activation mechanism occurs through a unique set of catalytic dehalogenation and chemical oxide etching reactions. These emulsions are 3D printable and exhibit high shape retention after being heated.

Deformation and fracture of thin sheet aluminum-lithium alloys: The effect of cryogenic temperatures [PDF]

open access: yes
The objective is to characterize the fracture behavior and to define the fracture mechanisms for new Al-Li-Cu alloys, with emphasis on the role of indium additions and cryogenic temperatures.

Bioinspired Strong and Tough Layered Bulk Composites via Mycelial Interface Anchoring Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
An interface anchoring strategy, which fixes the interface between the soft and hard phases to immobilize 2D materials, by leveraging the growth of biological living mycelium is proposed. This approach results in the formation of a lightweight and strong composite material (the LBCs) with a layered structure composed of soft and hard phases.
