Superamphiphobic and flame-retardant fabrics offer effective protection for firefighters and industrial workers operating under hazardous conditions. However, limitations in deformation resistance, wear comfort, and environmental adaptability hinder their practical applications. Here, a monolithic hierarchical macro-/micro-/nanostructure is constructed to achieve durable repellency against water and oils, even under significant deformations. This coating integrates fluorinated nanoparticles, flame retardant microparticles, and a cross-linking adhesive. Hydrogen bonding and the adhesive define the coating’s morphology, robustness, and adaptability. The coated surface exhibits an ultralow water adhesion force (0.002 mN) and excellent anti-fouling performance against extreme temperatures (100 °C, −196 °C) and corrosive liquids, including aqua regia and concentrated H 2 SO 4 . Upon fire exposure, the coating enables self-extinguishing behavior on cotton fabrics. The coated fabrics also demonstrate remarkable mechanical and UV resistance while preserving wear comfort. Overall, we achieve a balance between desirable properties and wear comfort in superamphiphobic, flame-retardant fabrics, enabling protective clothing applications previously unattainable.

While nitrocellulose (NC) has been studied for over a hundred years, its adhesion properties as an adhesive in a variety of environments have not been investigated, particularly in hot/wet environments. The effects of solvents, nitrogen content, concentration, adherend, and various treatments on the adhesion performance of NC were assessed by fourier transform infrared spectrometry, scanning electron microscope, atomic force microscope, and mechanical test. The results show that the nitrocellulose adhesive not only exhibits excellent adhesion to acrylic acid resin (in-plane adhesion of 5.95 MPa) and wood chips (in-plane adhesion of 3.92 MPa), but also does not need to use any substance containing harmful gases such as formaldehyde during the preparation process. The wood board bonded with the nitrocellulose adhesive can easily lift the 25 kg bucket. In addition, the nitrocellulose −ethyl acetate adhesive has good cold resistance (in-plane adhesion 2.65 MPa), heat resistance (in-plane adhesion 2.14 MPa), and moisture resistance (in-plane adhesion 2.06 MPa). The nitrocellulose binder from waste single-base gun propellant also exhibited excellent adhesion performance. Nitrocellulose adhesive shows significant commercial value and wide application potential in daily life and industrial fields.

Multiple functional coating is urgently needed in complex service surroundings to meet various requirements. In this work, a brush-like amphiphilic copolymer of poly methacryloxyethyl dimethyl butyl ammonium bromide–polydimethylsiloxane (pMDBAB–PDMS) was synthesized to construct an environment-adaptive multifunctional coating based on the copolymer via the UV-curing method. The special molecule chains of the copolymer assembled predominately on the coating surface in different surroundings, which rendered the surface with various functions. In water-rich surroundings, the hydrophilic quaternary ammonium groups in the coating endow the coating surface with antifogging, oleophobicity underwater, self-cleaning, antibacteria, triboelectric resistance, and super lubrication properties. In dry air surroundings, the long, flexible, low surface energy molecular PDMS chains tend to distribute on the top of the coating surface, which gives a low friction coefficient and antioil properties. This work presents a strategy to construct environmental adaptive coating that has an important application prospect in the field of optical lens.

It is nowadays essential to avoid electromagnetic interferes (EMI) not only in electronic equipment but also in human health with the rapid development of electronic technology. Damage or invalid in complex and harsh environments is still one of the major challenges facing the field of EMI shielding materials, but superhydrophobic surface have recently shown potential to enhance mechanical stability and chemical durability for this material. As one of the vital research directions of superwetting field, superamphiphobic surface have been often used to solve problems of other fields to improve their surface properties. Therefore, combining the superamphiphobic surface to overcome the problems of electromagnetic shielding materials is the main work of this paper. Here, a superamphiphobic surface was introduced through constructing micro-nano structure with low surface energy, which was mainly contributed from 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane, micro-ordered array polypyrrole , multi-walled carbon nanotubes and silica. Finally, the as-prepared materials after 5000 times of kneading-releasing cycles, 60 min of ultrasonic, 50 times of abrasion by using sandpaper, 24 h of ultraviolet irradiation, and 10 h of immersion in acid, alkali and different organic solvents , still has superamphiphobic performance which means it can be used extreme environment to endow a widely applications for EMI shielding materials.

Hydrogels are promising materials for fabricating sensory artificial skins (SASs), but their mechanical properties and environment adaptability are often limited, leading to restricted performances of SASs. In this work, mechanically robust, stretchable and environment adaptable organohydrogels with cross-linked fibrous structure are designed and constructed. The organohydrogels are prepared by introducing doped polyaniline (PANI) into cross-linked fibrous mats of poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Cross-linked PAA-PVA mat works as skeleton to account for the mechanical robustness while PANI serves as the conductive component to achieve mechanosensing functionality. Due to the unique structure, the resultant organohydrogels, being denoted as PAA-PVA/PANI organohydrogels, exhibit high tensile strength (5.06 MPa), stretchability, fatigue resistance and excellent environment adaptability (anti-freezing, anti-drying and swelling resistance). SASs of such organohydrogels have achieved a gauge factor of 1.81, a sensing range of 0–70 %, a response time of 0.28 s and a reversible sensing in more than 2,000 cycles. In addition, SASs are further attempted in monitoring diverse human motions and physiological activities, such as joint bending, muscle motion and pulse. Overall, this work has provided promising soft materials for future SASs that work properly under complicated environmental conditions.

The application of electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring in complex environments—such as underwater or under heavy perspiration—remains challenging due to interfacial instability and signal degradation in conventional electrodes. Developing flexible, environment-adaptive materials with cross-media compatibility is crucial for advancing wearable and subaquatic medical devices. Here, we report a novel strategy using aqueous PEDOT dispersion-induced phase separation to fabricate conductive hydrogels with robust underwater functionality. The resulting biphasic structure exhibits exceptional stretchability (up to 2500 % tensile strain), strong adhesion (40 kPa underwater), and intrinsic conductivity (16.7 S/m), without post-processing. These hydrogels maintain stable performance across air–water interfaces, enabling high-fidelity biopotential recording even in liquid environments. Demonstrated as ECG electrodes, they deliver clinical-grade signal quality underwater and resist interference from sweat during physical activity. This one-step fabrication method supports scalable, cost-effective production, facilitating integration into diving gear and marine protective suits. The material’s dual adaptability to both wet and dry conditions opens new pathways for reliable biosignal monitoring in extreme environments. These findings represent a significant step toward industrial deployment of hydrogel-based soft electronics in aquatic healthcare and sports physiology applications.

Given the limitations of conventional vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) systems, a novel vacuum ultraviolet/graphite carbon nitride (VUV/g-C 3 N 4 ) system with high adaptability to varying environmental conditions was developed. Compared with conventional VUV and UV/g-C 3 N 4 systems, the VUV/g-C 3 N 4 system demonstrates a much higher ability for the efficient degradation of chlorophenols (CPs). In particular, the VUV/g-C 3 N 4 system exhibits outstanding performance even at low pH and high concentrations of humic acid and SO 4 2- . Alkaline conditions and the presence of HCO 3 - can further promote CP removal. In addition, the feasibility of the VUV/g-C 3 N 4 system was verified by its stable operation in both river water and tap water . Unlike conventional photochemical systems relying on •OH, the dominant reactive species for CP degradation by the VUV/g-C 3 N 4 system was identified to be •O 2 - . This study conclusively provided a novel system for the efficient photocatalytic treatment of pollutants.

Passive radiative cooling is widely recognized as an environmentally sustainable method for achieving significant cooling effects. However, the mechanical properties and environmental adaptability of current radiative cooling materials are not sufficient to maintain high cooling performance in external environments. Here we reported an environment-adaptive phase-separation-porous fluorofilm for high-performance passive radiation cooling. Compared to the homogenous fluoro-porous network with limited scattering efficiencies, we modulated the porous structure of the fluorofilm to achieve a strong emissivity of 95.2% (8–13 µm) and a high reflectivity of 97.1% (0.3–2.5 µm). The fluorofilm demonstrates a temperature drop of 10.5 °C and an average cooling power of 81 W·m −2 under a sunlight power of 770 W·m −2 . The high mechanical performance and environmental adaptability of fluorofilms are also exhibited. Considering its significant radiative cooling capability and robust environmental adaptability, the fluorofilm is expected to have a promising future in radiative temperature regulation.

Hydrogel electrolytes have attracted enormous attention in flexible and safe supercapacitors. However, the interfacial contact problem between hydrogel electrolyte and electrodes, and the environmental instability are the key factors restricting the development of hydrogel-based supercapacitors. Here, a nucleotide-tackified adhesive organohydrogel electrolyte is successfully constructed and exhibits freezing resistance and water-holding ability based on the water/glycerol binary solvent system. Adenosine monophosphate enables the organohydrogels to possess outstanding adhesion and mechanical robustness. The robust adhesion can ensure close contact between the organohydrogel electrolyte and electrodes for constructing an all-in-one supercapacitor with low interfacial contact resistance. Impressively, the integrated organohydrogel-based supercapacitors display an areal specific capacitance of 163.6 mF cm −2 . Besides, the supercapacitors feature prominent environmental stability with capacitance retention of 90.6% after 5000 charging/discharging cycles at −20 °C. Furthermore, based on the strong interfacial adhesion, the supercapacitors present excellent electrochemical stability without delamination/displacement between electrolyte and electrodes even under severe deformations such as bending and twisting. It is anticipated that this work will provide an encouraging way for developing flexible energy storage devices with electrochemical stability and environmental adaptability.

Self-healing polymers often encounter harsh and variable environmental conditions during prolonged use, with their internal dynamic cross-linking structures posing limitations to stability under such circumstances. Drawing inspiration from the self-healing capabilities and environmental adaptability of cephalopods, this study presents a polyurethane material exhibiting outstanding mechanical properties, self-healing efficiency, and robust environmental resistance. Dynamic disulfide bonds were incorporated using 4,4-dithiodianiline (AFD) to enhance self-healing ability, while isophorone diamine (IPDA) reinforced the hard segment structure. Further, free isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) facilitated the formation of dynamic biphasic hard-segmented structures in the polyurethane matrix. As a result, the material demonstrated exceptional mechanical performance, including a tensile strength of 21.81 MPa, elongation at break of 1125.91 %, and toughness of 107.07 MJ/m³. After 24h of self-healing at 60 °C, the material achieved an impressive self-healing efficiency of 88.91 %. When combined with a hydrophobic component, the composite effectively erased surface scratches after 24h at 80 °C, with a water contact angle reaching 150.3°. This innovative design provides a promising approach for developing self-healing polymers with enhanced durability and environmental adaptability.

Most reported hydrogel electrolytes exhibit incompatible electrolyte-electrode interface, overhigh modulus, extreme environment inadaptation, high costs and toxic residual. Inspired by moisturizing and ductile properties from skin, this study presents a cost-effective, low-toxicity and self-healing hydrogel electrolyte composed of gelatin, lignin sulfonate and LiBr. The hydrogen bonds within hydrogel electrolyte were significantly weakened by LiBr, thereby exhibiting ultra-soft properties under the fracture stress of 8.5 kPa and strain of 1558 %, retaining an elongation of 1030 % after instantaneous self-healing, and remaining electrolyte-electrode interface stable. Additionally, abundant disordered hydrogen bonds and remarkable hydration capability of the hydrogel electrolyte endowed the ultra-high ionic conductivity (1.26 mS/cm at −50 °C) and adaptability under extreme environment. Notably, the assembled supercapacitor remains effectively electrochemical performance from severe dehydration to ambient environment. This work provides insights for design of flexible hydrogel electrolytes with excellent environmental adaption.

Recovering low-grade heat from source-separated urine in eco-toilets reduces on conventional energy sources, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and enhances energy efficiency, contributing to environmental protection and economic benefits. However, challenges such as the small volume, unstable source, and intermittent discharge of urine, result in rapid heat dissipation. Traditional wastewater heat recovery methods struggle to utilize this heat, hindering the exploration of multifunctional eco-toilets. In this study, thermoelectrochemical cell (TEC) was employed for in-situ low-grade heat recovery with simulated urine as heat source and air as the cold source, applying temperature gradient to drive thermoelectric conversion process. The impacts of flow rate and temperature gradient on the TEC performance were studied, and the process stability and environmental adaptability of TEC under dynamic environmental conditions (such as seasonal variations and toilet frequency) were evaluated. The results indicated that the TEC system achieved its maximum operational performance under optimal conditions of a flow rate of 40 mL/min and a temperature difference of 27°C, reaching a maximum Carnot efficiency of 0.0153%. The system demonstrated strong adaptability in high-temperature environments and quickly responded to heat input in simulations of varying toilet usage frequencies, maintaining stable operation under diverse conditions. These results highlight the potential of TEC for in-situ low-grade heat recovery from urine, with promising applications in dynamic real-world environments.
