Nanodiamond‐Infused Microgels for pH‐Tunable Rheology, Lubrication, and UV Protection

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microgels consisting of swollen polyacrylic acid polymer networks, impregnated with nanodiamonds provide protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation harmful to human health. Nanodiamonds enable UV blockage and control of the rheology (flow) and lubrication (skin‐feel) of these microgel‐skincare‐mimics.

Comprehensive Si Anode Design for Sulfide‐Based all‐Solid‐State Batteries: Insights into Si‐Electrolyte Synergy for Mitigating Contact Loss

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon anodes in sulfide‐based all‐solid‐state batteries suffer from interfacial instability caused by volumetric fluctuations and contact degradation, restricting their practical implementation despite high capacity. This study presents design strategies that leverage controlled active material expansion and an elastic recoverable anolyte to form an ...

Substrate Engineering for Durable Omniphobic Liquid‐Like Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The significant yet less investigated role of substrates in determining the liquid‐repellency and mechanical durability of liquid‐like surfaces (LLSs) is explored. Thick and crack‐free sol–gel silica intermediary layers are developed that can smoothen substrate asperity roughness even at the micron scale, enabling omniphobic polydimethylsiloxane‐based ...
