Responsive Nanocellulose-Pnipam Millicapsules

Journal of Colloid and Interface Science
Milli- and micro-capsules are developed to facilitate the controlled release of diverse active ingredients by passive diffusion or a triggered burst. As applications expand, capsules are required to be increasingly multi-functional, combining benefits like encapsulation, response, release, and even movement.

Bio‐Inspired Robust Non‐combustible Bioplastic with Superinsulated Energy Harvesting for Intelligent Firefighting

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
This study develops a novel non‐combustible chitosan‐based bioplastic (NCCB) via ethanol‐induced surface assembly. The material's inherent flame retardancy and thermally insulating, rough surface enable high‐performance TENGs. The NCCB‐TENG maintains stable output even when exposed to fire and exhibits dual sensitivity to temperature (25–200°C) and ...
