Incorporating Carbon Nanotubes into Polypropylene Fibers

open access: yes, 2003
Carbon nanotubes (CNT) are an exciting new carbon based material discovered in 1991 by Iijima. The size, crystalline structure and conductivity make them an exciting choice for use in a composite fiber.

Strain‐Adaptive Dielectric Metamaterials via Bioinspired “Ligament‐Bone” Architecture for Ultrahigh‐Energy Capacitive Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A bioinspired strain‐adaptive ligament‐bone architecture achieves record‐high energy density of 26.1 J cm−3 and 90% efficiency at 600 MV m−1, coupled with a Young's modulus of 2.13 GPa. ABSTRACT Polymer dielectrics for capacitive energy storage face fundamental trade‐offs between breakdown strength, energy density, efficiency, and mechanical robustness.

Temperature dependence of the interfacial shear strength in glass reinforced polypropylene and epoxy composites

open access: yes, 2013
We have recently reported the development of a method which allows the measurement of IFSS over a wide temperature range [6,7]. In this paper we present data obtained using the microbond test in the temperature controlled environment of a thermo ...

Closed‐Loop Decoding and Intervention of Pain: A Novel BMI Strategy Integrating θ‐Band Detection and Mechano‐Electro‐Biological Coupled Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A closed‐loop brain–machine interface with a PFAPT hydrogel electrode identifies prefrontal θ‐band as a neuropathic pain biomarker. The hydrogel enables stable 28 d ECoG recording and delivers θ‐triggered cortical stimulation, alleviating pain and affective behaviors in rats via bidirectional regulation of inflammation and central sensitization ...

Mechanical Properties and Microstructure of Polypropylene–Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Desert Sand Concrete

open access: yes, 2023
In order to improve the performance of desert sand concrete, polypropylene fiber (PF) and glass fiber (GF) were used to prepare desert sand concrete (DSC) with different fiber and volume content, and the basic mechanical properties, such as cube ...

Environmental Identification of Novel Enzymes for Polyurethane and Polyamide Degradation

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Heteroatom‐containing plastics such as polyurethanes and nylons are produced at scale yet remain largely unrecycled. Biocatalysts offer a promising route to depolymerization under mild conditions. Here, we present a screening platform for the discovery of novel polyurethane‐ and nylon‐degrading enzymes from environmental samples and demonstrate ...

Highly Stabilized Ni‐Rich Cathodes Enabled by Artificially Reversing Naturally‐Formed Interface

open access: yesAdvanced Energy Materials, Volume 15, Issue 11, March 18, 2025.
The application of Ni‐rich cathode materials is obstructed by interfacial and structural instability. This work proposes a facile and cost‐effective Al‐based vapor‐phase surface reaction strategy on Ni‐rich cathode to maintain its structural integrity from near‐surface to bulk.

Redirecting Excited‐State Proton Transfer Through Supramolecular Polymerization in Nanoconfinement

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Supramolecular confinement redirects the excited‐state proton transfer pathway of an amphoteric emitter. In water, the molecule undergoes ESPD, whereas co‐assembly with γ‐cyclodextrin forms nanotubes that template slip‐stacked emitter pairs and enable ESIMPT. Structural and photophysical characterization of the assemblies shows that the preorganization
