Robust, Breathable and Stretchable Liquid Metal Composite Nanofibre for Physiological Electrical Signal Monitoring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A conductive TPU/liquid‐metal nanofibrous film is fabricated via ultrasonic dispersion, electrospinning, and mold imprinting. The film is breathable, stretchable, deformation‐stable, and provides electromagnetic shielding. n‐Butanol encapsulation mitigates liquid‐metal surface tension and improves biocompatibility. Stable ECG, EOG, EEG, and EMG signals

Synergistic Mechano‐Fluidic Self‐Fusion of Poly(Vinyl Alcohol)‐Modified Liquid‐Metal Particles for Post‐Treatment‐Free Soft Electronics

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Poly(vinyl alcohol)‐modified liquid‐metal particles form conductive networks through spray‐induced self‐fusion without additional post‐treatment. Spray impact initiates oxide‐shell rupture and electrical contact, while subsequent Marangoni flow and capillary forces promote particle redistribution, neck growth, and network consolidation. This sequential

Stretchable h‐BN/TPU Fibers for Passive‐Active Dual‐Mode Thermal Management and Wearable Haptic Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Optimized 30 wt.% h‐BN/TPU fibers create a thermal conductivity of 2.08 W·m−1·K−1 while retaining mechanical compliance (422% elongation at break). Woven fabrics reduce surface temperature by 5.7°C under simulated solar irradiation. Glove integration enables localized fingertip heating at 29.55°C·s−1 with a thermal relaxation time of approximately 20 s.
