Article Abstract

With the advancement of artificial intelligence technologies, shape-memory polymers (SMPs) have attracted significant research interest due to their remarkable environmental responsiveness. However, conventional SMPs are limited to single-stimulus responsiveness and constrained performance, failing to meet practical application demands. This study develops a novel shape-memory carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) composite film modulated by graphene oxide (GO) with multi-stimuli responsive capabilities and water-assisted self-healing properties. The introduction of GO significantly enhances the mechanical properties, and provides efficient swelling-resistant ability and thermal conversion efficiency of the composite film, endowing it with on-demand shape-memory performance under thermal and water stimulation. It can achieve a shape fixation rate of 94.45% and a recovery rate of 97.22%. Meanwhile, the shape-memory behaviors can be precisely tailored by modulating the content of GO and PVA as well as interfacial interactions. Furthermore, the composite films achieve efficient water-triggered self-healing with a remarkable 90.6% recovery efficiency, which is attributed to their inherent hydrophilic nature and dynamic physical crosslinking architecture. This research demonstrates a novel strategy for creating stimuli-adaptive and shape-memory materials, providing a pivotal platform for their application in flexible actuation devices and intelligent medical systems.

While non-destructive in-line monitoring at manufacturing sites is essential for safe distribution cycles of pharmaceuticals, efforts are still insufficient to develop analytical systems for detailed dynamic visualisation of foreign substances and material composition in target pills. Although spectroscopies, expected towards pharma testing, have faced technical challenges in in-line setups for bulky equipment housing, this work demonstrates compact dynamic photo-monitoring systems by selectively extracting informative irradiation-wavelengths from comprehensive optical references of target pills. This work develops a non-destructive in-line dynamic inspection system for pharma agent pills with carbon nanotube (CNT) photo-thermoelectric imagers and the associated ultrabroadband sub-terahertz (THz)-infrared (IR) multi-wavelength monitoring.

In the modern era, polymyrcene, a sustainable polymer made from renewable resources, offers a potential path towards the advancement of green products. Here, we successfully created and characterized the first-ever all-bio-based composite films using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) made from agricultural waste, polylactic acid (PLA), and polymyrcene. Environmentally acceptable substitutes for traditional polymer composites have been made possible by incorporating CNCs into the PLA-Polymyrcene matrix, which produced materials with improved structural and functional qualities.

Polyimide (PI) faces significant challenges in highly integrated and high-frequency electronic devices due to its inherently low thermal conductivity and relatively high dielectric constant (D). In this study, topologically micro-crosslinked PI films were synthesized by incorporating highly conjugated multi-amino polydiacetylene (MAPDA) into a fluorinated PI matrix. The unique alkene-alkyne alternating conjugated structure of MAPDA, combined with the strong electron-withdrawing trifluoromethyl groups in the matrix, promotes charge redistribution and reduces the dipole moment and polarizability.

Super austenitic stainless steels (SASS) face challenges like galvanic corrosion and antibacterial performance when welded to carbon steel (Q235) in marine environments. This study demonstrates that adding 1.0 wt% cerium (Ce) to SASS refines the heat-affected zone (HAZ) grain structure (from 7 μm to 2 μm), suppresses detrimental σ-phase precipitation, and forms a dense oxide film.
