Although various eco-friendly and sustainable biobased polyurethane-coated controlled-release fertilizers (BPCFs) have been developed, their applications were limited by the bio-based coating contained many microscopic holes. In this work, a nano-soy-protein microcapsule-enabled self-healing biopolyurethane-coated controlled-release fertilizer (NSBCF) with enhanced controlled-release performance was fabricated. Nanoscale soy-protein microcapsules (SMCs) were prepared from soy-protein isolate (SPI) and poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) using the water-oil-water emulsification technology. The self-healing biopolymer coatings of NSBCF with uniformly dispersed SMCs were constructed through self-assembly. The controlled-release longevity of NSBCF was >28 days longer than that of the BPCF with the unmodified coating. The self-healing mechanism of NSBCF was determined by directly observing the restoration area and the 3D pore distribution of coating using fluorescence labeling and X-ray computed tomography . After being released from the SMCs, SPI self-repaired the coating by reacting with glutaraldehyde to form solid resins to clog the microscopic holes. The SMCs-enabled self-healing process successfully reduced the nutrient release rate and extended the nutrient release longevity of NSBCF. This novel biobased controlled-released fertilizer with self-healing function represents a new direction for the development of high efficiency and environmentally friendly fertilizers to improve agriculture and food sustainability .

Recently, we have constructed a high strength and thermoplastic supramolecular poly( N -acryloyl glycinamide) (PNAGA) hydrogel which can be developed as printable bioinks. However, the PNAGA hydrogel is low in stiffness and toughness, potentially limiting its application as load-bearing soft tissue scaffolds. In this work, we fabricate a supramolecular polymer double-network hydrogel based on hydrogen bonding crosslinked PNAGA and Fe 3+ -coordination crosslinked sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). The combined hydrogen bonding and ionic crosslinks contribute to high-strength nonswellable PNAGA/CMC-Fe hydrogels (Tensile strength of 2.9 MPa and compressive strength of 7.3 MPa at 80% strain without fracture) and stiffness (Young's modulus of 1.2 MPa and compressive modulus of 1.5 MPa). Furthermore, these reversible double physical crosslinks enable the PNAGA/CMC-Fe hydrogels to dissipate energy efficiently with a high toughness (12.3 MJ m −3 ) and tear energy (3700 J m −2 ), meanwhile imparting self-recoverability, anti-fatigue ability and self-healability to the network. This cytocompatible supramolecular polymer double network hydrogel with excellent multifaceted mechanical performances are promising to exploited as load-bearing soft tissue engineering scaffolds .

The self-healing solid polymer electrolytes (SHSPEs) can spontaneously eliminate mechanical damages or micro-cracks generated during the assembly or operation of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), significantly improving cycling performance and extending service life of LIBs. Here, we report a novel cross-linked network SHSPE (PDDP) containing hydrogen bonds and dynamic disulfide bonds with excellent self-healing properties and non-flammability. The combination of hydrogen bonding between urea groups and the metathesis reaction of dynamic disulfide bonds endows PDDP with rapid self-healing capacity at 28 °C without external stimulation. Furthermore, the addition of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide (EMIMTFSI) improves the ionic conductivity (1.13 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 28 °C) and non-flammability of PDDP. The assembled Li/PDDP/LiFePO 4 cell exhibits excellent cycling performance with a discharge capacity of 137 mA h g −1 after 300 cycles at 0.2 C. More importantly, the self-healed PDDP can recover almost the same ionic conductivity and cycling performance as the original PDDP.

The excellent comprehensive performance of SBS modified bitumen (SMB), during a long-term thermo- and photo-oxidative exposure, will fail to satisfy the pavement requirement. In this paper, the synergistic effect of 4,4′-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) and 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BUDGE) on the molecular weight of aged SBS was firstly studied, through a simulation, to confirm whether a new polymer structure can be obtained. Then, the reactive rejuvenating system containing MDI, BUDGE and bituminous composition returning agent (MDI-BUDGEs) was applied in the rejuvenation of aged SMB. The results show that the rebuilt molecular structure of aged SBS can be obtained with the combination of MDI and BUDGE. Meanwhile, MDI-BUDGEs can improve the low-temperature ductility and inhibit the sharp fall of the softening point of aged SMB, while decrease the viscosity-temperature response at 120–165 °C. Also, MDI-BUDGEs can contribute for increasing the viscous component, improving the fatigue resistance and remaining the high-temperature performance grade of aged SMB, and moreover, decrease the limited elastic modulus and the elastic-plasticity transition rate to avoid the occurrence of the brittle failure within a small strain range.

The self–healing capability of epoxy coatings modified with coaxial core–shell nanofibers loaded with the corrosion inhibitor 2–mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) was investigated using electrochemical techniques. The polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinylidene fluoride core–shell nanofibers were prepared by coaxial electrospinning. Electrochemical impedance results showed that the MBT–loaded coaxial nanofibers improved the barrier properties and decreased the corrosion activity of the coatings. Results of the Scanning Kelvin Probe technique revealed that the MBT–loaded coaxial nanofibers healed corrosion over artificial defects exposed to NaCl electrolytes. These results indicate that adding MBT–loaded coaxial nanofibers to epoxy coatings is a promising strategy toward the development of self–healing epoxy coatings.

Nickel-rich cathode materials, owing to their high energy density and low cost, are considered to be one of the cathodes with the most potential in next-generation lithium-ion batteries. Unfortunately, this kind of cathode with highly active surface is easy to react with H 2 O and CO 2 when exposed to ambient air, resulting in the formation of lithium impurities and interfacial phase transition as well as deterioration of the electrochemical properties. In this work, the evolution mechanism of the structure and interface of LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 during air-exposure is systematically investigated. Furthermore, a facile reviving strategy is proposed to restore the degraded LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 O 2 by using LiPO 3 as the repair agent. The lithium impurities on the surface of the degraded sample can transform into the repair/coating layer, and part of the rock salt phase on the subsurface can revive to layered phase after repair heat treatment. As a result, the optimized cathode delivers an initial discharge capacity of 198.3 mAh g −1 at 0.1C and a capacity retention of 85.5% after 50 cycles. Although slightly lower than the bare sample (201 mAh g −1 and 88%), they are obviously higher than the exposed samples (166.5 mAh g −1 and 40.4%). The regenerated electrochemical properties should be attributed to the multifunctional repair layer that can efficiently reduce the surface lithium impurities, prevent the corrosion of electrolyte, and improve the interfacial Li + diffusion kinetics. This work can effectively reduce the waste of the degraded Ni-rich ternary materials and realize the transformation of “waste” into wealth.

Lost circulation has been a serious problem to be solved in many drilling practices during oil, gas and geothermal well drillings. Many materials have been developed and evaluated for the purpose. However, their performance to plug severe leakoff is very limited. Herein, an injectable self-healing hydrogel based on polyampholyte with sulfonated and quaternary ammonium functionalities (P(MPTC- co -NaSS)) was developed and comprehensively evaluated to prevent the severe loss of fluids to formation. By incorporating cation-π (π is for aromatic residues) interaction, the hydrogel shown self-healing property and robustness in severe environment (temperature, salt) by comparison with other hydrogels merely consisting of cation-anion and H-bonding interactions. Aromatic residues enhanced thermal stability above 310 °C. The plugging measurement shown that an addition of 2 wt% dried gel particles can plug high-permeability formation and endure a high pressure of 6 MPa, produce much lower circulation loss and result in a dramatically increased loss volume reduction rate (63.5%) compared with a commercial polymer gel product and an inert material (9.4%) after a self-healing process. Markedly, P(MPTC- co -NaSS) can be used in a wide range of formation temperature (as high as 150 °C) and salt concentrations (NaCl, CaCl 2 , as high as 15 wt %). In addition to suitable particle size and mechanically robustness, it was also attributed to the soft, swelling, deformable, toughness and self-healable features of P(MPTC- co -NaSS) gel particles as well as the strong adhesion to negatively charged formations in water, even under high thermal and saline condition. These characteristics also contributed to a long-term plugging performance, beneficial to avoid repeated lost circulation in drilling operation. Besides, this self-healing polyampholyte gel particles dispersed well in saline fluid and maintained stable rheological properties after hot rolling, which was favorable to drilling fluid circulation. This study shown the application potential of self-healing materials as plugging material candidate in petroleum drilling industry.

Levofloxacin (LEV) infiltrated in groundwater has threatened the safety of drinking water . For in-situ remediation of LEV-contaminated groundwater, there exists a main challenge of exploiting proper high efficient backfill medium in utilizing charming permeable reactive barriers (PRBs). Herein, three porous shapeable three-component hydrogen-bonded covalent organic aerogels (H C OA-1, H C OA-2 and H C OA-3) were fabricated based on a multiple-linking-site strategy to evaluate for adsorptive removal of LEV. The three H C OAs exhibited satisfactory performance in LEV adsorption that could integrate high adsorption capacity, good antiion interference, excellent recyclability and wide pH tolerance. The different regularity of kinetics and isotherms of three H C OAs signified that electrostatic effect, pore preservation, hydrogen bonding probably govern the adsorption process in combination, coupling with π-π electron-donor-acceptor (EDA), dipole-dipole and hydrophobic-hydrophobic interaction besides. In addition, the response surface methodology (RSM) was employed for studying the single and synergetic effects of selected variables and optimizing operation conditions. Furthermore, a laboratory PRB column packed with processable H C OA-2 was set up to investigate the LEV removal, and the breakthrough data was explained by Adams-Bohart, Thomas, BDST and Yoon-Nelson models. We believe could hopefully bring H C OAs into the real in-situ remediation of such challenging and persistent LEV-polluted groundwater with further massive-scale efficiently.

Double network hydrogels (DN gels) are one of most extensively investigated high strength hydrogels. However, most of DN gels are concern to macromolecules , low-molecular-weight gelators (LMWG)-based supramolecular hydrogels are rarely reported to fabricate recoverable DN gels. Owing to the low mechanical properties, LMWG-based supramolecular hydrogels are hardly fabricated as conductive materials for human motion monitoring. Herein, we report a general strategy to fabricate strong, tough and conductive cholate-based supramolecular gels with double network (DN) structure (i.e. La-cholate/PAAm DN gels), consisting of La-cholate supramolecular gel as first network and covalent polyacrylamide gel (PAAm gel) as second network, in which La-cholate supramolecular gel was self-assembled by La 3+ ions and sodium cholate under sonication via the synergistic effect of hydrogen bonds , hydrophobic interactions and metal-coordination. At optimal condition, La-cholate/PAAm DN gel exhibited high tensile properties (fracture stress of 0.314 MPa, fracture strain of 29.85 mm/mm, elastic modulus of 90 kPa, and work of extension of 5.678 MJ/m 3 ) and high toughness (tearing energy of 1098 J/m 2 ), which are comparable to conventional chemical or hybrid DN gels. Meanwhile, La-cholate/PAAm DN gel also showed rapid self-recovery property (stiffness recovery of 84% and toughness recovery of 46% after resting for 3 min) at room temperature and λ-dependent luminescent property under UV-light. More importantly, cholate-based supramolecular gels with DN structure could be prepared with various metal ions and monomers . Interestingly, our cholate-based DN gels were ionically conductive, which could be used as strain sensor to finely detect the human motions. We hope our design principles, along with the simple method and cholate-based DN gels, can be generally applied to develop a new generation of strong and tough LMWG-based supramolecular hydrogels with various functionalities.

Chitosan derivative-based self-healable hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties are reported, which were prepared by polymerization of acrylic acid (AAc) in 2-hydroxypropyltrimethyl ammonium chloride chitosan (HACC) solution. The PAAc/HACC hydrogels exhibit tensile fracture stress as high as 3.31 MPa and a Young's modulus of 2.53 MPa. They can maintain their original shape after 30 repeated compression cycles under various strain conditions, with a compression stress of more than 60 MPa at 99% strain. The damaged PAAc/HACC hydrogels can heal together in the presence of a NaCl salt solution with a self-healing efficiency of up to 61%. In addition, the PAAc/HACC hydrogels have high ionic conductivity and can serve as electrolytes for supercapacitors. The analysis suggests that all these good properties of the PAAc/HACC hydrogels mainly result from their high-density dynamic ionic interactions structure.

Composite solid electrolytes (CSEs), which combine the advantages of solid polymer electrolytes and inorganic solid electrolytes, are considered to be promising electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries. However, the current CSEs suffer from defects such as poor inorganic/organic interface compatibility, lithium dendrite growth, and easy damage of electrolyte membrane, which hinder the practical application of CSEs. Herein, a CSE (PBHL@LLZTO@DDB) with polyurethane (PBHL) as the polymer matrix and Li 6.4 La 3 Zr 1.4 Ta 0.6 O 12 (LLZTO) modified by silane coupling agent (DDB) as inorganic fillers (LLZTO@DDB) has been prepared. Disulfide bond exchange reactions between PBHL and LLZTO@DDB enable PBHL@LLZTO@DDB to form a dynamic three-dimensional (3D) inorganic/organic hybrid network, which promotes the uniform dispersion of LLZTO in PBHL@LLZTO@DDB, improves the Li + conductivity (1.24 ± 0.08 × 10 −4 S cm −1 at 30 ℃), and broadens the electrochemical stability window (5.16 V vs. Li + /Li). Moreover, a combination of hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds endows PBHL@LLZTO@DDB with excellent self-healing properties. As such, both all-solid-state symmetric and full cells exhibit excellent cycle performance at ambient temperature. More importantly, the healed PBHL@LLZTO@DDB can almost completely restore its original electrochemical properties, indicating its application potential in flexible electronic products.
