Abstract null null Shape deformation is a survival wisdom that many animals have evolved to protect themselves and prey foods easier. Soft magnetic composites provided an untethered strategy to allow the soft robots deform and move. However, it is great challenges for magnetic soft robots to squeeze in constrained environment, such as slits smaller than their sizes, as well as carry and release desired items. Here we demonstrate a magnetic hollow soft robot (MHSR) composed of soft NdFeB/Ecoflex ...

Abstract null null Infrared stealth technology plays a vital role in development of defense industry and new military equipment. The current study focused on a novel type of flexible and foldable composite films based on polyimide (PI)/phosphorene (PR) hybrid aerogel and phase change material (PCM) for infrared stealth and thermal camouflage applications. The composite films were successfully obtained by fabricating a PI/PR hybrid aerogel through prepolymerizaton, film casting, freeze-drying, an...

Abstract null null The complex marine environment in the splash zone and the deep-sea area is always raising stern challenges for the steel structures served in the offshore facilitates. Compared with other coating fillers, the carbon fiber (CF), with outstanding mechanical strength, is a suitable candidate filler for coating reinforcement. However, CF has a poor compatibility with organic resin, which could cause defects inside the coating, and result in coating failure further. Hence, we used ...

Abstract null null Ice buildup occurs through multiple routes of frost formation, condensate freezing, and supercooled raindrops. Therefore, it is crucial to integrate multiple anti- and de-icing functionalities in the design of next-generation ice-free materials. Herein, a multifunctional magneto-responsive photothermal composite cilia array (MRPA) exhibiting remarkable anti-icing and de-icing performance was demonstrated. The MRPA can exhibit an immediate and reversible structural actuating mo...

Abstract null null Phase change materials (PCMs) which can harvest regenerative solar energy and convert into storable thermal energy are supposed to be advanced energy storage mediums. Stearic acid (SA) with suitable phase change temperature, large latent heat and negligible supercooling is considered to be promising organic PCMs in solar thermal energy harvesting and storage. However, the low thermal conductivity and poor shape stability of SA inevitably inhibited the energy storage and practi...

Abstract null null Numerous studies found in the literature focus on enhancing the fracture toughness of thermosetting polymers by incorporating various toughening agents. The resulting gains in fracture toughness are mostly attributed to an expansion in the volume of the plastic deformation zone ahead of the propagating crack and the modified resin blends are subsequently introduced as matrices for fibre reinforced composite materials. It is often assumed that improvements in fracture toughness...

Abstract null null Due to the unique ability to change color promptly when temperature fluctuates, the reversible thermochromic film plays an important role in reducing the occurrence of fire accidents. It can be used into the early warning of fire and behaves as an indispensable part in constructing fire prevention system. In this paper, a series of novel reversible thermochromic POSS-Metal Films (abbreviated as PMFs) with different ratio of POSS (octa-aminopropyl POSS) and metal salt [Cr(NO3)3...
Abstract null null This paper presents a novel highly sensitive and flexible tactile sensor based on the fabrication of truncated pyramid-shaped porous graphene nanoplate (GNP)/silicone rubber (SR) composites as the sensing material. The designed tactile sensor has 3 × 3 (=9) sensing units, each unit has three layers: top cover layer with upper electrodes, middle truncated pyramid-shaped porous composite sensing materials, and substrate layer with bottom electrodes. The fabrication processes to ...

Abstract null null The weak interfacial bonding between fiber and matrix needs to be improved for obtaining good mechanical properties of carbon fiber/polyetheretherketone (CF/PEEK) composites due to the inert nature of both components. Organic sizing is a typical interface improvement method, but it is harmful to both the human and local environment. Here, a two-step process is proposed to modify PEEK for preparing an environmentally friendly water-based sizing agent, involving taking the keton...
Abstract null null The present work performs a systematic experimental analysis of the translaminar fracture behavior of high performance biocomposites constituted by green epoxy reinforced by sisal fibers, by varying the main influence parameters as fiber concentration and lay-up. Despite the corrective function properly introduced to take into account the anisotropy as well as the use of the equivalent crack length, the study shows that the LEFM does not give accurate estimations of the fractu...
