Anisotropic Shear Properties of Organic Interfaces in Bio‐composite Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel cantilever design enables direct probing of shear properties at single organic interfaces within biocomposite prismatic ultrastructures. By decoupling lateral and torsional shear responses, the method reveals isotropic behavior in Atrina vexillum and pronounced anisotropy in Unio pictorum.

Geometrically Templated, Ultra‐Lightweight and High Strength Soap Films from Lyotropic Liquid Crystalline Graphene Oxide/Polymer Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellular materials form spontaneously by dip coating the primitive triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) wireframe in an aqueous solution of lyotropic liquid crystalline graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets mixed with polymers. Regulated by surface tension, GO nanosheets align on the polymer soap film as the stress builds up during drying.

Encapsulating Zinc Powder in MXene/Silk Scaffolds with Zincophilic‐Hydrophobic Polymer for Flexible Zinc‐Ion Batteries

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work develops flexible zinc‐ion batteries (FZIBs) using a zincophilic/hydrophobic polymer (thermoplastic polycarbonate‐based polyurethane, TPCU) to protect Zn powder anodes and MXene/Silk (MXS) as flexible current collectors. The designed TPCU‐ZnP@MXS structure enables uniform Zn deposition, yielding dendrite‐free anodes with stable cycling ...

Reconfigurable Microenvironments Uncover Mechano‐Sensing Timescales and Direct Cell Polarity

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A synthetic DNA‐crosslinked cell culture matrix enables control over the mechanical microenvironment surrounding cells. Independent tuning of stiffness and stress relaxation uncovers distinct timescales of mechano‐sensing that regulate cell behavior.

Artificial Compound Eye for Clear Vision in Harsh Environment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Artificial compound eye (CE) with exceptional imaging and motion tracking capturing the movement of a spider and swinging thread with a wide field of view. Surface modifications ensure clear vision of alphabetic letters in rain and fog. Images captured in fog with CE remains visible 3 times longer than simple eyes (SE).
