Superhydrophobic aerogels are attractive candidates in controlling oil spills. The major challenges for existing aerogels are the construction of mechanical endurance as well as accessible of building materials. Herein, a newfangled biomass superhydrophobic aerogel (M-PCF/CS) with both superior compressibility and oil caption speed is fabricated by assembling poplar catkin fiber (PCF) hollowed-out shell of 330 nm and chitosan (CS) into tubular-lamellar interweaved neurons-like structure. The resultant aerogels (porosity ~ 96.12%), with flexuous PCF as the elastic buffer and second-pore capillaries, exhibit large longitudinal and transverse compressibility , endurable fatigue tolerance, fast oil sorption rate with a capacity of 28.8–78.1 g/g at 5–25 s. In parallel, the aerogels are tolerant of NaCl, UV radiation, and organic solvents without superhydrophobic variation and a case of oil spill remediation via pump-supported experiment shows that the aerogels facilely achieve continuous oil recycling from seawater by 23052–43956 L·m –2 ·h –1 . Furthermore, the resultant M-PCF/CS, with assistance of an oscillator, can be applied to separate oil/water emulsions with efficiency of 98.07–99.11%. The successful fabrication of this material provides a new design strategy for the construction of mechanically robust aerogels for speedy and economical cleanup of oil pollutants from water.

In this work, liquid densities of n -octane, ethylcyclohexane and their binary mixtures {( x ) n -octane) + (1 − x ) ethylcyclohexane} with mole fraction x = (0.200, 0.400, 0.600, 0.800) are reported. The density measurements were performed with a high-pressure vibrating-tube densimeter at temperatures from (283 to 363) K and pressures up to 60 MPa. The combined expanded uncertainties (0.95 level of confidence, k = 2) are estimated to be 16 mK for temperature, 0.062 MPa for pressure, and up to 0.6 kg/m 3 for density. The experimental densities were correlated using the modified Tait equation. The average absolute percentage deviations of measurement results from the modified Tait equation correlations of n -octane, ethylcyclohexane and their binary mixtures {( x ) n -octane) + (1 − x ) ethylcyclohexane} are all lower than 0.1%. The isothermal compressibility and isobaric expansivity have also been derived from the experimental densities.

Preparation of new materials from biomass is good for sustainable development. Carbon/carbonaceous foams (CFs), as important materials widely applied in both military and civil use, are usually made from nonrenewable materials at high temperature (usually over 1000 °C) and high pressure (at MPa magnitude). Although some biomass raw materials have been used, there is still a fascinating issue waiting to be discussed. That is, what kind of biomass would be suitable for making CFs, or what the biggest challenge might be if these raw materials are used. Herein, a CF with advanced compressibility was made from starch with a simple and energy efficient strategy. The product can be made at much lower temperature (below 500 °C) and pressure (∼190 Pa) than conventional strategies. The understanding of the conversion mechanism provides inspiration for the conversion of other biomass into value-added carbonaceous materials. Due to the presence of reactive groups on the surface of the as-prepared CF, the product can be further modified or used as a substrate to prepare composites for catalysis, phase change energy storage, sensors, water purification, and so on. In this work, its potential application in oil/water separation was demonstrated.

Solvents within gels enhance the mobility of polymer chain segments while concurrently diminishing interchain interactions, thereby facilitating the ductility of glassy polymers at the cost of their mechanical strength. Here, we develop a solvent toughening strategy for the preparation of highly compressible and high-strength ionogels in the glassy state. This approach leverages the synergistic effects of the slow dissociation-shift kinetics of solvent ionic liquids and polymer crystallization. Ionogels exhibit an ultimate compressive stress of 2.3 GPa (at 98% compressive strain), toughness of 1219.3 MJ m−3, and energy dissipation rate of 81.9% (at 70% compression strain). The highly interacting ionic bonds of solvent and the fast crystallization of polymers under load toughen the ionogels and confer impact hardening and efficient energy dissipation behavior under fast impact. A 500-μm-thick ionogel coating can protect fragile items, such as glass, from impact damage. Ionogels, renowned for their impact resistance, hold promise for various applications across industries including human body implants, equipment, transportation, and aerospace.

Polystyrene is a common material featured with its low cost. In this work, a novel low dense polystyrene sponge with superhydrophobicity and compressibility was prepared successfully by a dual-templating method, including High Internal Phase Emulsions (HIPEs) processing and the introduction of organic template species. For the first time stearic acid or calcium stearate was introduced into the HIPEs system to enhance micro roughness and impart the PolyHIPEs with superhydrophobicity. Besides, owing to the low density, high porosity, interconnected network structure and ultra large void size, the sponge exhibited fast oil adsorption rate and superior oil adsorption capacity of 66.2 g/g toward diesel. After adsorption saturation, the sponge was regenerated by simple squeezing with the deoiling rate over 80%. Importantly, the sponge showed swellable property and about 80% of the initial adsorption capacity was retained after 10 adsorption-compression circles. High adsorption rate, excellent oil adsorption capacity, high selectivity, low cost, compressibility and renewability, all these favourable properties make it an ideal and practical oil adsorbent.

Lightweight aerogels with superior cavities have attracted great interest in the field of electromagnetic wave absorbing materials. In this work, a hierarchical porous wood aerogel modified with Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-67 (Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-67@WA) with high compressibility and low-density was fabricated by in-situ anchoring of magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-67 rhombohedral dodecahedron in naturally delignified wood aerogel. Combining the advantages of both aerogels and magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-67 particles, Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-67@WA reveals excellent compression-resilience and efficient microwave absorption performance. It possesses a maximum reflection loss (RL) of about −23.4 dB at a low thickness of 1.5 mm and a specific electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of up to ~156.3 dB cm 3 g −1 . Moreover, the composites exhibit a broad absorption bandwidth under an ultrahigh frequency of 13.5–18.0 GHz. In view of those excellent absorbing effects, the prepared green magnetic Fe 3 O 4 /ZIF-67@WA is likely to be used as a lightweight shielding material against electromagnetic radiation, especially for smart building and miniaturized device applications.

Stretchable, self-healable, conductive hydrogels have received increasing attention due to their broad range of applications, such as wearable devices and ionic skin. However, severe challenges remain in integrating fatigue resistance, favorable self-healing, and stretchable and compressible efficiency into a hydrogel. Herein, a highly stretchable, compressible, self-healable somatosensory platform was fabricated by blending Fe3+ ions with polyvinyl alcohol acetoacetate (PVAA)/polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogel to form a double network hydrogel, which combined chemical coordination and physical crosslinking in one system. In this system, the PAM network offered high stretchability and compressibility to the hydrogel. Meanwhile, the coordination of the Fe3+/PVAA network provided ionic conductivity and self-healing ability. The resulting hydrogel exhibits prominent stretchability (>700%), high sensitivity, high healing efficiency (80% within 24 h) and excellent fatigue resistance. Therefore, the hydrogel could be used as a potential artificial ionic skin including strain and pressure sensors to directly monitor human motion.

In this study, macroscopic graphene-wrapped melamine foams (MF-G) were fabricated by an MF-templated layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly using graphene oxide as building blocks, followed by solution-processed reduction. By concisely duplicating sponge-like, highly ordered three-dimensional architectures from MF, the resulting MF-G with an interconnected graphene-based scaffold and tunable nanostructure was explored as compressible, robust electrodes for efficient energy storage. A thin layer of pseudocapacitive polypyrrole (PPy) was then attached and uniformly coated on MF-G, resulting in a well-defined core–double-shell configuration of the MF-G-PPy ternary composite sponges. The as-assembled devices exhibited enhancement of supercapacitor performance, with a high specific capacitance of 427 F·g −1 under a compressive strain of 75% and an excellent cycling stability with only 18% degradation after 5,000 charge–discharge cycles. Besides, the MF-G-PPy electrode maintained stable capacitance up to 100 compression–release cycles, with a compressive strain of 75%. These encouraging results thus provide a new route towards the low-cost, easily scalable fabrication of lightweight and deformation-tolerant electrodes.

A thorough grasp of the relationship between the crystal structure and properties is necessary for the design of crystals with specific properties using crystal engineering. Gabapentin (GBP), an analogue of the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid, is used to treat partial seizures. GBP exhibits a fast dissolution rate. However, because of being plastically and elastically deforming, which increases the possibility of capping or laminating during compression, GBP exhibits poor compaction behavior. The aim of the study was to address the aforementioned issues, involving preparing and characterizing gabapentin monohydrate (GBP·H2O) and cocrystals (GBP-PABA) with p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). Both the tablets of GBP·H2O and GBP-PABA can successfully slow down the dissolution rate of the original drug and reduce the intrinsic dissolution rate. Additionally, the multicomponent crystals of GBP have slip planes, demonstrating very excellent compaction properties, according to a thorough study on the mechanical properties of crystals. In terms of single-crystal structure and intermolecular interaction, the compressibility assessment of multicomponent crystals by analysis of relationships between mechanical properties and bulk powder compaction behavior further proved its plastic behavior and appropriateness for direct compression. Therefore, the development of multicomponent crystals will effectively solve the determination of the parent drug itself and become an efficient oral combined formulation.

Soft and elastic piezoelectric materials have critical applications in emerging fields such as wearable electronics and soft robotics. Although there is much progress towards piezoelectric elastomers , existing methods to achieve such materials rely mainly on blending piezoelectric ceramic or polymer fillers into elastomers. Here, we report a soft tissue-like polyacrylonitrile (PAN)-based piezoelectric elastomer, which shows a high piezoelectric coefficient d 33 of ∼ 40 pC/N and an intrinsic super-elasticity (100 % self-recovery). Moreover, ultrahigh compressibility (> 99 % strain) and stretchability (> 250 % strain) are achieved simultaneously for the elastomer. The elastomer can produce long-term stable electrical outputs and exhibit a fast piezoelectric response and high sensitivity due to the stress-induced poling effect. We proceed to demonstrate that the piezoelectric elastomers can be used for simultaneous impact protection and self-sensing, as well as continuous human pulse and complex hand movements monitoring. These results suggest that the material has potential applications for soft electronics.

Incorporating compressibility , elasticity, and porous structures into microwave- absorbing materials will facilitate electromagnetic wave absorption (EMA) and improve environmental adaptability for practical applications. Herein, a strategy to prepare Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene/reduced graphene oxide (RGO)/ cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) aerogels via a directed freezing method to design three-dimensional structures and strengthen the interaction between Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and RGO lamellae is demonstrated. Oriented structures and the addition of CNCs benefit structural stability while achieving superior absorption performance by forming perfect impedance matching and multiple polarization effects. Interestingly, the prepared MXene/RGO/CNCs (MRC-20) aerogel delivers the prominent EMA performance in reported MXene-based absorbing materials, with a minimal reflection loss (RL min ) of − 72.32 dB at 12.0 GHz corresponding to a matching thickness of 2.56 mm and an effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of 4.96 GHz at 1.88 mm with an RL min of − 59.87 GHz. Furthermore, by tuning the content of CNCs, the MRC-20 aerogel exhibits the highest stress (37.2 kPa) at 70% compressive strain and demonstrates the stability of the compression cycle. These intriguing features make the hybrid aerogel stand out among numerous absorbers.

In this article, the co-continuous hollow glass microspheres (HGMs)/epoxy resin syntactic foams were prepared by filling the HGM preforms with epoxy resin. The effects of HGM wall thickness and solid loading on the density, open porosity, and morphology of HGM preform and HGM/epoxy resin syntactic foams were studied in detail. The results show that the HGM wall thickness had no effect on the open porosity of HGM preforms. However, the density of preforms increased with the true density of HGMs. The density of HGM/epoxy resin syntactic foams decreased with the contents of HGMs, and the measured density was essentially equal to the theoretical density. The compressive strength decreased with the contents of HGM, regardless of the HGMs wall thickness. However, the variation in compressive modulus was related to the HGMs’ wall thickness. As the HGM solid loading increased, the compressive modulus of composites, prepared using thin-walled HGMs, decreased, while the composites prepared using thick-walled HGMs showed the opposite trend. The co-continuous HGM/epoxy resin syntactic foams possessed low density (0.567–1.002 g/cm3), and excellent compressive strengths (30.32–131.60 MPa). These properties were due to the elimination of matrix pores, and are a type of promising material in deep sea exploration area.
