With the deepening of marine resource development and marine science research, developing devices capable of underwater sensing and self-powering has become a significant challenge. Moreover, there is a growing demand for the environmental sustainability of the substrate materials used in the device. Herein, we have synthesized a lignin-based polyurethane foam with a high biobased content (HBLPUF) by the reaction of pentamethylene diisocyanate (PDI) with lignin polyol.

A critical challenge in wearable electrothermal textiles is achieving effective insulation while maintaining sheath flexibility, which is essential for enhancing the mechanical properties and durability of conductive materials under everyday conditions, such as washing, stretching, and twisting. In this work, we employ a coaxial tubular braiding technique to coat a high-conductivity carbon nanotube (CNT) yarn with a high-strength insulation layer made of ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) multifilaments, resulting in a core-sheath-structure CNT yarn with excellent electrothermal performance. By adjusting the number of UHMWPE multifilaments and the sheath braiding angle, we achieve high flexibility, high tensile strength, and abrasion and wash resistance, as well as improved electrical stability for the CNT yarns.

Article Synopsis
  • - A new method is introduced for turning lignin into graphite at room temperature, achieving a high yield of 87% and notable properties like a strong negative surface potential and super-hydrophilicity.
  • - The super-hydrophilic graphite can easily mix with polar solvents, making it useful for various applications, especially when combined with liquid metals for creating electrical circuit patterns.
  • - These electrically conductive patterns retain strong performance even when flexed or twisted, paving the way for innovative designs in flexible electronics, sensors, and biomedical devices.

This study aimed to assess the potential of banana-plantain stalk fibers (BPSF) as a raw material for ropes and fabrics used in composites and geotextiles. Fibers were obtained by Biological retting and ropes used for geotextile weaving were obtained by three-strand twisting in order to optimize the mechanical properties of geostalk. The thermal, physical, chemical and mechanical characteristics of the fibers were studied in order to assess the impact of the extraction process on fiber performance.

The primary purpose of this work is to study the fabrication of a flexible natural cellulosic fiber composite. In this respect, natural cellulosic fiber was obtained by modified poplar wood fiber through sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and γ-Aminopropyl Triethoxysilan. Then, the composites were fabricated by hot-pressing the modified wood fibers and polyurethane following characterization.
