    Abstract With the frequent increase and update of electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials, a low-resolution material that can absorb most electromagnetic waves, thereby effectively reducing the secondary pollution, is urgently needed. However, the excellent performance, flexibility, and low cost of these methods are usually incompatible with current reports. To address the above dilemma, we reported a facile solution for fabricating a low-reflection and high-performance EMI shielding composite by means of electroless nickel plating (EP-Ni), electroless copper plating (EP-Cu), annealing, and coating with a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) polymer with the structure of a Ni@Cu tube encapsulated with PDMS. The results indicate that the active groups on vegetable wool can act as active sites for the absorption of the Pd catalyst, thereby catalyzing the reduction of Ni

    Abstract Flexible actuators with excellent adaptability and interaction safety have a wide range of application prospects in many fields. However, current flexible actuators have problems such as fragility and poor actuating ability. Here, inspired by the features of nacre structure, a gradient structured flexible actuator is proposed with mechanical robustness and self-healing ability. By introducing dynamic boronic ester bonds at the interface between MXene nanosheets and epoxy natural rubber matrix, the resulting nanocomposites with ordered micro-nano structures exhibit excellent tensile strength (25.03 MPa) and satisfactory repair efficiency (81.2%). In addition, the gradient distribution structure of MXene nanosheets endows the actuator with stable photothermal conversion capability, which can quickly respond to near-infrared light stimulation. The interlayer dynamic covalent bond crosslinking enables good response speed after multiple bending and is capable of functional self-healing after damage. This work introduces gradient structure and dynamic covalent bonding into flexible actuators, which provides a reference for the fabrication of self-healing soft robots, wearable, and other healable functional materials.

    Abstract Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the most abundantly produced plastic due to its excellent performance, but is also the primary source of poorly degradable plastic pollution. The development of environment-friendly PET biodegradation is attracting increasing interest. The leaf-branch compost cutinase mutant ICCG (F243I/D238C/S283C/Y127G) exhibits the best hydrolytic activity and thermostability of all known PET hydrolases. However, its superior PET degradation is highly dependent on its preparation as a purified enzyme, which critically reduces its industrial utility. Herein, we report the use of rational design and combinatorial mutagenesis to develop a novel ICCG mutant RITK (D53R/R143I/D193T/E208K) that demonstrated excellent whole-cell biocatalytic activity. Whole cells expressing RITK showed an 8.33-fold increase in biocatalytic activity compared to those expressing ICCG. Thermostability was also improved. After reacting at 85 °C for 3 h, purified RITK exhibited a 12.75-fold increase in depolymerization compared to ICCG. These results will greatly enhance the industrial utility of PET hydrolytic enzymes and further the progress of PET recycling.

    Abstract As a steady stream of electronic devices being discarded, a vast amount of electronic substrate waste of petroleum-based nondegradable polymers is generated, raising endless concerns about resource depletion and environmental pollution. With coupled reagent (CR)-grafted artificial marble waste (AMW@CR) as functional fillers, polylactic acid (PLA)-based highly stretchable biodegradable green composite (AMW@CR-SBGC) is prepared, with elongation at break up to more than 250%. The degradation mechanism of AMW@CR-SBGC is deeply revealed. AMW@CR not only contributed to the photodegradation of AMW@CR-SBGC but also significantly promoted the water degradation of AMW@CR-SBGC. More importantly, AMW@CR-SBGC showed great potential as sustainable green electronic substrates and AMW@CR-SBGC-based electronic skin can simulate the perception of human skin to strain signals. The outstanding programmable degradability, recyclability, and reusability of AMW@CR-SBGC enabled its application in transient electronics. As the first demonstration of artificial marble waste in electronic substrates, AMW@CR-SBGC killed three birds with one stone in terms of waste resourcing, e-waste reduction, and saving nonrenewable petroleum resources, opening up vast new opportunities for green electronics applications in areas such as health monitoring, artificial intelligence, and security.

    Abstract As artificial marble is abundant and widely used in residential and commercial fields, the resource utilization of artificial marble wastes (AMWs) has become extremely important in order to protect the environment. In this paper, polybutylene terephthalate/artificial marble wastes (PBT/AMWs) composites were prepared by melt blending to maximize resource utilization and increase PBT performance. The research results showed that the filling of AMWs was beneficial to the improvement of PBT-related performance. X-ray diffraction analysis results indicated that after filling AMWs into the PBT matrix, the crystal structure of PBT was not changed. Heat deflection temperature (HDT) analysis results indicated that the HDT of PBT composites with 20 wt% AMWs reached 66.68 °C, which was 9.12 °C higher than that of neat PBT. Differential scanning calorimetry analysis results showed that heterogeneous nucleation could be well achieved when the filling content was 15 wt%; impact and scanning electron microscope analysis results showed that due to the partial core-shell structure of the AMWs, the impact strength of PBT was significantly improved after filling. When the filling amount was 20 wt%, the impact strength of the PBT composites reached 23.20 kJ/m

    Abstract Many ecofriendly and antibacterial polymer-based shielding nanocomposites have been designed to address the increasingly serious issues of electromagnetic interference (EMI) pollution and antibiotic resistance. These composites contain high amounts of conductive and antibacterial material and exhibit an unsurpassed EMI shielding performance and strong antibacterial properties. However, it is extremely challenging to prepare these materials because of the formation of large aggregates coupled with the high viscosity. Herein, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and an antibacterial surfactant (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)) are mixed with castor oil–based waterborne polyurethane (WPU) via ultrasonic-assisted solution mixing followed by a freeze-drying approach. Owing to the presence of CTAB, CNTs (at a concentration of 24.3 wt%) are evenly dispersed and connected to each other in the WPU matrix. This morphology and intrinsic characteristics of CNTs enable the resultant CNT/WPU composites to exhibit an excellent electrical conductivity (635.8 S/m) and thermal conductivity (0.308 W/(m·K)) as well as an incomparable shielding effectiveness (SE, 88.81 dB). Notably, the specific SE reaches 997.4 dB/cm, which exceeds those of the reported composites. Moreover, the combination of CNTs and CTAB improves the antibacterial activities of the WPU composites. Due to these merits, the resultant composites have great potential for applications in portable and wearable smart electronics. Overall, this study opens a new way toward the manufacture of ecofriendly and multifunctional polymer composites.

    Abstract Cotton fabric (CF) fabricated by natural cellulose fibers has porous structure, abundant hydrophilic hydroxyl groups and good mechanical flexibility, which is a promising substrate for flexible fabric-based supercapacitors. Graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets were fixed on the CF by vacuum filtration, and then the pyrrole monomers and silver ions (Ag⁺) were adsorbed to the surface of GO/CF by π-π and electrostatic interactions, respectively. Polypyrrole/silver (PPy/Ag) nanoparticles were generated on the surface of GO/CF via in situ UV-induced polymerization, forming the flexible PPy/Ag/GO/CF electrodes. The electrodes combine three active materials (PPy, Ag and GO), which show good electrochemical performance. The electrode prepared under optimum conditions (UV irradiation time: 120 min; mass loading of GO on the CF: 3 mg cm⁻²) exhibits a high specific capacitance of 1664.0 mF cm⁻². The flexible symmetric quasi-solid-state fabric-based supercapacitor (QFSC) based on the optimum electrode also keeps superior electrochemical performance and excellent mechanical flexibility, which has a great application prospect for wearable energy storage devices.

    Abstract In order to avoid damage to the substrate surface and environment pollution by the traditional electroless plating (ECP) pretreatment process, we have designed and fabricated Ag complexes based on multidentate ligands (SAAP) toward high-efficient and facile ECP. The SAAP solution is a mixture of deionized water, alcohol, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and AgNO₃. A strong force is established between hydrolyzed silane and Ag particles by means of Ag–N and Ag–O coordinated bonds. More importantly, it could coat on the different substrate surfaces by means of Ag complexes based on the SAAP structure using the rapid film-forming (dip-coating, brush-coating, and in situ film-forming) process which could be attributed to Si–OH and −NH₂ groups on the SAAP surface. As a result, octahedral Ag particles are evenly distributed on the substrate surface with excellent stability and ECP catalytic ability after SAAP film forming. The less stable HCHO is generated and then converted into H–COOH with charge transfer to Cu²⁺ through Ag d-orbitals and vacant orbitals, which results in the reduction of Cu²⁺ to Cu atoms around Ag particles in ECP-Cu solution. To be precise, an easy method to achieve surface metallization of polymers and inorganic materials via coating SAAP solution combined with ECP is achieved successfully. This work is helpful to promote ECP industrial development.
