Anti-fog glass can solve the safety problems caused by glass fogging in a wide range of applications. However, its durability is still insufficient under actual application conditions such as high humidity, friction and scratches, et al. Therefore, this work copolymerised hydrophilic chain segments N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide (HEAA) containing -OH and water-resistant -NH-CO-, hydrophobic chain segments butyl acrylate (BA) and a “bridging agent” 4-benzoylphenyl acrylate (BPA) into a trimeric anti-fog coating. And, -OH was introduced to the glass surface by a simple plasma treatment. The BPA was covalently linked with hydrophilic and hydrophobic polymers HEAA/BA through a free-radical polymerisation reaction of double-bonded to form a covalent carbon chain. Meanwhile, it covalently combined with the -OH on the glass surface. BPA formed a stable link between the anti-fog coating and the glass substrate. Thus, the coating was resistant to 400 cycles of sand abrasions and can lift up to 1500 g. The -NH-CO- in HEAA and BA significantly increased the water resistance of the coating which can be immersed in water for 120 h. The -OH in HEAA not only given the coating excellent anti-fogging properties, but also enabled it to self-heal quickly within 10 s. The durable anti-fog coatings prepared in this work have great potential for practical applications.

The development of smart materials and surfaces with multiple antibacterial actions is of great importance for both fundamental research and practical applications, but this has proved to be extremely challenging. In this work, we proposed to integrate salt-responsive polyDVBAPS (poly(3-(dimethyl(4-vinylbenzyl) ammonio)propyl sulfonate)), antifouling polyHEAA (poly(N-hydroxyethyl acrylamide)), and bactericidal TCS (triclosan) into single surfaces by polymerizing and grafting polyDVBAPS and polyHEAA onto the substrate in a different way to form two types of polyDVBAPS/poly(HEAA-g-TCS) and poly(DVBAPS-b-HEAA-g-TCS) brushes with different hierarchical structures, as confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), atom force microscopy (AFM), and ellipsometry. Both types of polymer brushes demonstrated their tri-functional antibacterial activity to resist bacterial attachment by polyHEAA, to release ∼90% of dead bacteria from the surface by polyDVBAPS, and to kill ∼90% of bacteria on the surface by TCS. Comparative studies also showed that removal of any component from polyDVBAPS/poly(HEAA-g-TCS) and poly(DVBAPS-b-HEAA-g-TCS) compromised the overall antibacterial performance, further supporting a synergistic effect of the three compatible components. More importantly, the presence of salt-responsive polyDVBAPS allowed both brushes to regenerate with almost unaffected antibacterial capacity for reuse in multiple kill-and-release cycles. The tri-functional antibacterial surfaces present a promising design strategy for further developing next-generation antibacterial materials and coatings for antibacterial applications.

Construction of highly stretchable and sensitive flexible strain sensors is of great significance for wide applications in human–computer interaction, wearable devices, and electronic skins. However, it turned out to be not effortless to integrate the two seemingly contrary features of high stretchability and sensitivity into a system. Herein, we designed a nanocomposite conductive hydrogel (NCCH) composed of zwitterionic poly(HEAA-co-SBMA) polymers and lithium magnesium silicate (XLG) by means of multi-reversible molecular interactions (MRMIs) including borate ester bonds between polyHEAA and borax, hydrogen bonds , and polySBMA-XLG-based electrostatic interaction, endowing the NCCH with enhanced mechanical, self-healing, adhesive, biocompatible, and sensing performances. The MRMI method enabled NCCHs to obtain an excellent stretchability (∼1080 %)/compressibility (∼98.5 %), a tensile strength of ∼ 0.06 MPa, a good self-healing with a fracture strain recovery of 90.5 %, and a strong adhesion on various hard and soft substrates (e.g. a adhesive shear force of 60 kPa to pigskin tissues). Besides, the integration of zwitterionic polySBMA and conductive XLG promoted charge transfer. by optimal ioinic channels. Based on these outstanding strengths, the NCCHs were farther rationally fabricated as multifunctional strain sensors with remarkable sensing stability for fast and accurately detecting strain/pressure-induced deformation, joint motions, and animal heartbeats. Notably, the excellent self-healing property of NCCH sensors can facilitate their long-period usage and complete recyclability for avoiding wastes. The new MRMI-based NCCH sensor without any conductive additives is deemed to provide a new strategy for broadening their multifunctional strain sensor and healthcare monitoring applications.
