文摘Intelligent polymers have garnered significant attention for enhancing component safety,but there are still obstacles to achieving rapid self-healing at room temperature.Here,inspired by the microscopic layered structure of mother-of-pearl,we have developed a biomimetic composite with high strength and self-repairing capabilities,achieved by the ordered arrangement of pearl-like structures within a flexible polyurethane matrix and GO nanosheets functionalized by in situ polymerization of carbon dots(CDs),this biomimetic interface design approach results in a material strength of 8 MPa and toughness(162 MJ m^(-3)),exceptional ductile properties(2697%elongation at break),and a world-record the fast and high-efficient self-healing ability at room temperature(96%at 25℃for 60 min).Thereby these composites overcome the limitations of dynamic composite networks of graphene that struggle to balance repair capability and robustness,and the CDs in situ loaded in the interfacial layer inhibit corrosion and prevent damage to the metal substrate during the repair process.(TheƵ_(f=0.01Hz)was 1.81×10^(9)Ωcm^(2)after 2 h of healing).Besides,the material can be intelligently actuated and shape memory repaired,which provides reliable protection for developments in smart and flexible devices such as robots and electronic skins.

文摘In order to quickly and accurately locate the fault location of the distribution network and increase the stability of the distribution network,a fault recovery method based on multi-objective optimization algorithm is proposed.The optimization of the power distribution network fault system based on multiagent technology realizes fast recovery of multi-objective fault,solve the problem of network learning and parameter adjustment in the later stage of particle swarm optimization algorithm falling into the local extreme value dilemma,and realize the multi-dimensional nonlinear optimization of the main grid and the auxiliary grid.The system proposed in this study takes power distribution network as the goal,applies fuzzy probability algorithm,simplifies the calculation process,avoids local extreme value,and finally realizes the energy balance between each power grid.Simulation results show that the Multi-Agent Technology enjoys priority in restoring important load,shortening the recovery time of power grid balance,and reducing the overall line loss rate of power grid.Therefore,the power grid fault self-healing system can improve the safety and stability of the important power grid,and reduce the economic loss rate of the whole power grid.

文摘As a significant branch of smart materials,self-healing polyurethane materials mimic the biological damage repair mechanisms and have been widely applied in flexible electronics,functional coatings,biomedicine,and other fields.This review systematically summarizes the design principles and recent advancements in both extrinsic and intrinsic self-healing polyurethane materials,highlighting their respective self-healing mechanisms and characteristics.For extrinsic system,damage repair is primarily achieved through microcapsules,hollow fibers,nanoparticles,and microvascular networks.However,their healing efficiency remains limited by the stability of carriers and the release kinetics of healing agents.In contrast,intrinsic self-healing polyurethane materials achieve self-healing through the reversibility of dynamic covalent and non-covalent bonds,which confer excellent self-healing capabilities while necessitating a precise balance between mechanical performance and self-healing efficiency.Moreover,their healing behavior is highly dependent on environmental conditions,potentially restricting their practical applications.Recent studies have demonstrated that the synergistic design of dynamic bonding networks can significantly enhance the mechanical properties,self-healing efficiency,and environmental adaptability.These developments offer new insights and theoretical foundations for designing high-performance self-healing polyurethane materials and may broaden their industrial applications.

文摘Self-healing hydrogels have attracted tremendous attention in the field of oil and gas drilling and production engineering because of their excellent self-healing performance after physical damage.In this study,a series of double network self-healing(DN_(SA))hydrogels based on hydrophobic association and ionic bond were prepared for plugging pores and fractures in formations in oil and gas drilling and production engineering.The mechanical,rheological,and self-healing properties of the DN_(SA)hydrogels were investigated.Results revealed that the DN_(SA)hydrogels exhibited excellent mechanical properties with a tensile stress of 0.67 MPa and toughness of 7069 kJ/cm^(3) owing to the synergistic effect of the double network.In addition,the DN_(SA)hydrogels exhibited excellent compression resistance,notch insensitivity,and self-healing properties.The DN_(SA)-2 hydrogel was granulated and made into gel particles with different particle sizes and used as a plugging agent.The self-healing mechanism of DN_(SA)-2 hydrogel particles in fractures was explored,and it’s plugging effect on fractures of different widths and porous media of different permeabilities were investigated.Experimental results revealed that the plugging capacity of the DN_(SA)-2 hydrogel particles for a fracture with width of 5 mm and a porous medium with a permeability of 30μm^(2) was 3.45 and 4.21 MPa,respectively,which is significantly higher than those of commonly used plugging agents in the oilfield.The DN_(SA)hydrogels with excellent mechanical and self-healing properties prepared in this study will provide a new approach for applying hydrogels in oil and gas drilling and production engineering.

文摘Herein,we demonstrate a tetradic double-network physical cross-linking hydrogel comprising of gelatin,polyacrylic acid,tannic acid,and aluminum chloride as wearable hydrogel sensors.Based on the coordination bonds,hydrogen bonds,and chain entanglements of the two networks,the acquired hydrogel possesses excellent tensile properties,self-healing performance,and adhesiveness to many substrates.Mechanical properties can be tuned with fracture strain ranging from 900 to 2200%and tensile strength ranging from 24 to 216 kPa,respectively.Besides,the hydrogel also exhibits good strain-sensitivity when monitoring the motions of humans,such as bending of fingers,bending of elbows.Hence,we can believe that the GATA hydrogel has numerous applications in soft robots,intelligent wearable devices,and human health supervision.
文摘Magnesium and its alloys have gained relevance for their light-weight combined with a high value of strength-to-weight ratio,which makes them useful in fields such as aerospace,automotive as well as biomedical engineering.Unfortunately,the poor corrosion resistance of Mg-alloys limits their wide acceptance.Advanced composite coatings which are self-healing,superhydrophobic anti corrosive,and wear resistant are new synthetic materials for abating these challenges.The superimposed superhydrophobic surfaces help in minimizing their water contact,thus slowing down the electrochemical reactions on the surface of the alloys,while their self-healing characteristics autonomously aid in the repair of any induced micro-crack,defect or damage towards ensuring the metal's long-term protection.In addition,the integration of wear-resistant materials further improves the durability of coatings under mechanical stress.The most recent research efforts have been directed towards the preparation of multifunctional composites,with an emphasis on nanomaterials,functional polymers,and state-of-the-art fabrication techniques in order to take advantage of their synergistic effects.Some of the methods that have so far exhibited promising potentials in fabricating these materials include the sol-gel method,layer-by-layer assembly,and plasma treatments.However,most of the fabricated products are still faced with significant challenges ranging from long-term stability to homogeneous adhesion of the coatings and their scalability for industrial applications.This review discusses the recent progress and the relationship between corrosion inhibition and self-healing efficiencies of wear resistant polymer nanocomposite coatings.Some challenges related to optimizing coating performance were also discussed.In addition,future directions ranging from the consideration of bioinspired designs,novel hybrid nanocomposite materials,and environmentally sustainable solutions integrated with smart protective coatings were also proposed as new wave technologies that can potentially revolutionize the corrosion protection offered by Mg alloys while opening up prospects for improved performance and sustainability.

文摘The serious environmental threat caused by petroleum-based plastics has spurred more researches in developing substitutes from renewable sources.Starch is desirable for fabricating bioplastic due to its abundance and renewable nature.However,limitations such as brittleness,hydrophilicity,and thermal properties restrict its widespread application.To overcome these issues,covalent adaptable network was constructed to fabricate a fully bio-based starch plastic with multiple advantages via Schiff base reactions.This strategy endowed starch plastic with excellent thermal processability,as evidenced by a low glass transition temperature(T_(g)=20.15℃).Through introducing Priamine with long carbon chains,the starch plastic demonstrated superior flexibility(elongation at break=45.2%)and waterproof capability(water contact angle=109.2°).Besides,it possessed a good thermal stability and self-adaptability,as well as solvent resistance and chemical degradability.This work provides a promising method to fabricate fully bio-based plastics as alternative to petroleum-based plastics.

文摘Superhydrophobic surface is a promising strategy for antibacterial and corrosion protection.However,the use of harmful fluorine-containing materials,poor mechano-chemical stability,the addition of fungicides and poor corrosion resistance often limit its practical application.In this paper,a high-robustness pho-tothermal self-healing superhydrophobic coating is prepared by simply spraying a mixture of hydropho-bically modified epoxy resin and two kinds of modified nanofillers(carbon nanotubes and SiO2)for long-term anticorrosion and antibacterial applications.Multi-scale network and lubrication structures formed by cross-linking of modified carbon nanotubes and repeatable roughness endow coating with high ro-bustness,so that the coating maintains superhydrophobicity even after 100 Taber abrasion cycles,20 m sandpaper abrasion and 100 tape peeling cycles.The synergistic effect of antibacterial adhesion and pho-tothermal bactericidal activity endows coating with excellent antibacterial efficiency,which against Es-cherichia coli(E.coli)and Staphylococcus aureus(S.aureus)separately reaches 99.6% and 99.8%.Moreover,the influence of modified epoxy resin,superhydrophobicity,organic coating and coating thicknesses on the anticorrosion of magnesium(Mg)alloy is systematically studied and analyzed.More importantly,the prepared coating still exhibits excellent self-cleaning,anticorrosion and antibacterial abilities after 20 m abrasion.Furthermore,the coating exhibits excellent adhesion(level 4B),chemical stability,UV radiation resistance,high-low temperature alternation resistance,stable heat production capacity and photother-mal self-healing ability.All these excellent performances can promote its application in a wider range of fields.
文摘This study investigates the mechanism of action of representative molecules of basalt fibers on the healing of water-soaked asphalt.Thermodynamic parameters,morphological characteristics,interfacial healing energy,and interfacial healing strength were analyzed using molecular dynamics and macroscopic tests under different time,temperature,and water conditions to evaluate the specific states and critical conditions involved in self-healing.The results indicate that basalt-fiber molecules can induce rearrangement and a combination of water-soaked asphalt at the healing interface.Hydroxyl groups with different bonding states increase the interfacial adsorption capacity of water-soaked asphalt.The interaction between basalt fiber molecules and water molecules leads to a"hoop"phenomenon,while aromatics-2 molecules exhibit a"ring band aggregation"phenomenon.The former reduces the miscibility of water and asphalt molecules,while the latter causes slow diffusion of the components.Furthermore,a micro-macro dual-scale comparison of interfacial healing strength was conducted at temperatures of 297.15 and 312.15 K to identify the strength transition point and critical temperature of 299.4 K during the self-healing process of basalt-fiber modified water-soaked asphalt.

文摘The self-healing solid polymer electrolytes(SHSPEs)can spontaneously eliminate mechanical damages or micro-cracks generated during the assembly or operation of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),significantly improving cycling performance and extending service life of LIBs.Here,we report a novel cross-linked network SHSPE(PDDP)containing hydrogen bonds and dynamic disulfide bonds with excellent self-healing properties and nonflammability.The combination of hydrogen bonding between urea groups and the metathesis reaction of dynamic disulfide bonds endows PDDP with rapid self-healing capacity at 28°C without external stimulation.Furthermore,the addition of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide(EMIMTFSI)improves the ionic conductivity(1.13×10^(−4)S cm^(−1)at 28°C)and non-flammability of PDDP.The assembled Li/PDDP/LiFePO_(4)cell exhibits excellent cycling performance with a discharge capacity of 137 mA h g^(−1)after 300 cycles at 0.2 C.More importantly,the self-healed PDDP can recover almost the same ionic conductivity and cycling performance as the original PDDP.

文摘Coatings of marine equipment inevitably suffer from physical or chemical damage in service,together with biofouling from microbial attachment,leading to a shorter service life of them.Herein,a multi-functional corrosion-resistant coating with efficient photothermal self-healing and anti-biofouling per-formance was designed by using CuO/g-C_(3)N_(4)(CuO/CN)S-scheme heterojunction filler in combination with polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)as the coating matrix for achieving the effective protection of Q235 steel.The results of the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)experiments indicate that the CuO/CN/PDMS composite coatings possessed excellent corrosion resistance,in which the impedance ra-dius of optimal CuO/CN-1/PDMS composite coating could still remain 3.49×10^(9)Ωcm^(2)after 60 d of immersion in seawater under sunlight irradiation.Meanwhile,the as-prepared CuO/CN/PDMS compos-ite coating not only can be rapidly heated up under the Xenon lamp illumination to achieve complete self-repair of scratches within 45 min,but also exhibited excellent antimicrobial effects in the antifouling experiments.This study opens a new avenue for the development of g-C_(3)N_(4)-based multifunctional coat-ings and provides guidance for the development of the next generation of intelligent protective coatings.

文摘Photo-induced self-healing composites have attracted more and more attention as a kind of materials that can be controlled remotely and accurately in real time.Here,we report a strategy of a photo-responsive system based on hydrogen and ion bonds capable of performing self-healing process by ultraviolet wave-lengths,which is covalently cross-linked zinc-dimethylglyoxime-polyurethane coordination network with triple dynamic bonds.The recombination of hydrogen bond and metal coordination bond produces ef-fective healing performance.The self-healing behavior and temperature dependence of 3D micro-crack is investigated by molecular dynamics simulations to reveal the mechanism of self-healing at molecu-lar level.Moreover,the hybrid of copper-doped zinc oxide not only provides metal coordination bonds to enhance the self-healing rate,but also enhances the photothermal effect and anti-bacterial properties of polyurethane.Importantly,doping of copper generates more defects and forms a space charge layer on the surface of zinc oxide.The defects could trap surface electrons and holes,preventing the recom-bination of photo-induced electron-hole pairs,generating more heat through lattice vibration.Therefore,under ultraviolet light irradiation,the polyurethane can reach 62.7°C for 60 s,and the scratches of the polyurethane can be healed within 30 min and fully healed within 1 h.

文摘Severe structural fractures and persistent side reactions at the interface with liquid electrolytes have hindered the commercialization of silicon(Si)anodes.Solid-state electrolytes present a promising solution to address these issues.However,the high interfacial resistance of rigid ceramic electrolytes and the limited ionic conductivity of polymer electrolytes remain significant challenges,further complicated by the substantial volume expansion of Si.In this work,we chemically grafted a flame-retardant,self-healing polyurethane-thiourea polymer onto Li_(7)P_(3)S_(11)(SHPUSB-40%LPS)via nucleophilic addition,creating an electrolyte with exceptional ionic conductivity,high elasticity,and strong compatibility with Si anodes.We observed that FSI^(-)was strongly adsorbed onto the LPS surface through electrostatic interactions with sulfur vacancies,enhancing Li^(+)transport.Furthermore,SHPUSB-40%LPS exhibits dynamic covalent disulfide bonds and hydrogen bonds,enabling self-assembly of the electrolyte at the interface.This dynamic bonding provides a self-healing mechanism that mitigates structural changes during Si expansion and contraction cycles.As a result,the Si anode with SHPUSB-40%LPS presents excellent cycling stability,retaining nearly 53.5%of its capacity after 300 cycles.The practical applicability of this design was validated in a 2 Ah all-solid-state Si‖LiNi_(0.6)Mn_(0.2)Co_(0.2)O_(2)pouch cell,which maintained a stable Li-ion storage capacity retention of 76.3%after 350cycles at 0.5C.This novel solid-state electrolyte with selfhealing properties offers a promising strategy to address fundamental interfacial and performance challenges associated with Si anodes.

文摘Drug-eluting magnesium(Mg)alloy stents have a slower degradation rate and lower restenosis rate compared with uncoated stents,demonstrating good clinical efficacy.However,the release of anti-hyperplasia drugs from coatings delays endothelial tissue repair,thus leading to late stent thrombosis.To address these issues,a dual self-healed coating with various biological properties was fabricated on magnesium fluoride/polydopamine(MgF_(2)/PDA)-treated Mg alloys by spraying-assisted layer-by-layer(LBL)self-assembly of chitosan(CS),gallic acid(GA),and 3-aminobenzeneboronic acid-modified hyaluronic acid(HA-ABBA).The LBL coating,approximately 1.50μm thick,exhibited a uniform morphology with good adhesion strength(~1065 mN).The annual corrosion rate(Pi)of LBL samples was~1400 times slower than that of the Mg substrate,due to the physical barrier function provided by MgF_(2)/PDA layers and the dual self-healed ability of LBL layers.The rapid self-healing ability(with a healing period of~4 h under dynamic/static conditions)resulted from the synergistic interplay between the recombination of diverse chemical bonds within the LBL coating and the coordination of LBL-released GA with Mg2+,as corroborated by computer simulations.Compared with the drug-eluting coatings,the LBL sample demonstrated substantial advantages in anti-oxidation,anti-denaturation of fibrinogen,anti-platelet adhesion,anti-inflammation,anti-hyperplasia,and promoted-endothelialization.These benefits effectively address the limitations associated with drug-eluting coatings.
