Article Abstract

The issue of interfacial inhomogeneity in energetic materials remains a significant challenge. In this study, fluoroelastomer F2602 was applied to HMX crystals using a water suspension granulation technique, followed by a bio-inspired coating formed via the crosslinking polymerization of polyethyleneimine (PEI) and pyrogallol (PG) on the HMX/F2602 composite. This process resulted in the formation of an HMX/F2602/PEI-PG microcapsule structure. Various characterization techniques confirmed that the chemical structure and polycrystalline morphology of the crystals were preserved throughout the coating process, maintaining the characteristic β-HMX morphology. The introduction of the PG-PEI shell significantly improved the coating coverage and minimized the exposure of crystal surfaces. Furthermore, compared to HMX/F2602, the HMX/F2602/PEI-PG composite exhibited notably enhanced thermal stability and reduced mechanical sensitivity. These improvements are attributed to the advantageous effects of the microcapsule structure formed by the bio-inspired coating on the material's properties.

Precise control of surface wettability and droplet dynamics is essential for the development of intelligent interfaces and fluidic devices. However, most existing systems suffer from limited wettability modulation, an irreversible response, or complex fabrication. Herein, we report an azobenzene inverse opal film capable of reversible wettability and adhesion switching under alternating UV/vis irradiation.

Coating technology is widely used in diverse fields such as energy, healthcare, and aerospace because of the advantages of simple fabrication, low cost, stability, and customized functions. However, conventional coatings fall short in meeting the emerging demands due to their single functionality and non-responsiveness. Inspired by natural prototypes, microcapsule-based intelligent coatings (MICs) that exhibit remarkable responsiveness to external stimuli have been developed and used in various fields such as corrosion protection and anti-fouling.

As an emerging energy-saving approach, bio-inspired drag reduction technology has become a key research direction for reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This study introduces the latest research progress on bio-inspired microstructured surfaces in the field of underwater drag reduction, focusing on analyzing the drag reduction mechanism, preparation process, and application effect of the three major technological paths; namely, bio-inspired non-smooth surfaces, bio-inspired superhydrophobic surfaces, and bio-inspired modified coatings. Bio-inspired non-smooth surfaces can significantly reduce the wall shear stress by regulating the flow characteristics of the turbulent boundary layer through microstructure design.
