Printable, stretchable, and highly conductive metal conductors have emerged as potentially promising interconnects in the field of soft electronics. However, current techniques relying on geometric engineering have been criticized for complicated fabrication process and defective geometric structure. Here, we report a printed, straight, and omnidirectionally stretchable copper conductor, which is facilely fabricated on a flat substrate without requiring prestretching, assisted by a multifunctional gel medium layer. The PSS gel, composited by polydimethylsiloxane, Schiff base and fumed SiO 2 , offers a unique combination of stretchability, printability, and moldability. Additionally, this gel enables the reduction of silver ions directly on its surface by partially bonded crosslinker molecules. The fully exposed catalyst exhibits excellent activity in catalyzing electroless copper deposition reaction, on which high-quality copper coating is facilely achieved. The produced copper patterns exhibit high conductivity (4.93 × 10 7 S m −1 ) and excellent stretchability with fracture strains of ∼ 191 % and ∼ 135 % for the uni- and omni-directionally stretchable patterns respectively, which are superior to the majority of stretchable metals in published literature. The stretchable wrinkles derive form the gel medium layer molded by templates, realizing straight metal lines on flat substrate. This process combines the advantages of traditional in-plane and out-of-plane strategies, demonstrating great potential in practical application.

The flexible heat dissipation material with high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation is ideal for highly integrated flexible electronic devices. In this study, the flexible polymer composite films were prepared by spin coating process, the thermal conductivity and electrical insulation of the composite film are significantly enhanced by adding short carbon fibers (SCF) and boron nitride (BN) particles to PDMS matrix. SCF and BN particles construct an effective thermal conduction path in the PDMS matrix, while highly insulating BN particles inhibit the formation of conductive paths. The thermal conductivity of 15%SCF/20%BN/PDMS film achieved 2.29 W/m·K when 15 wt% SCF and 20 wt% BN were loaded, which was 990% enhancement compared to pure PDMS. And its volume electrical resistivity and breakdown strength reached 2.11 × 1014 Ω·cm and 12.5 KV/mm respectively, showing excellent electrical insulation property.

Recently, the membrane separation materials show promising applications in the fields of crude oil removal because of their low energy consumption and less secondary pollution. However, the membrane separation materials suffer problem of low separation efficiency due to the high viscosity of crude oil. Here, a superhydrophobic material with Joule heat and photothermal effect was prepared by decorating the delignified wood with reduced graphene oxide (GSH) and vinyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (V-PDMS) through thiol-ene click reaction. The prepared PDMS@GSH wood exhibited stable superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 156°. Meanwhile, the GSH layer provided promising electrothermal effect that endowed the PDMS@GSH wood with excellent crude oil/water separation capability under the Joule heat with a surface temperature of 139 °C and separation rate of 1.78 × 10 5 kg m −3 h −1 . Besides, the PDMS@GSH wood displayed a good photothermal effect that assisted with the Joule heat to heat the wood for crude oil removal to save energy. More importantly, the PDMS was crosslinked with GSH on the wood via thiol-ene click reaction, leading to the stable superhydrophobicity and electrical conductivity in strong acid or alkali environment. This material has broad application prospects in crude oil clean-up due to its high separation speed and easy large-scale production.

In recent years, wearable multifunctional strain sensors have attracted attention for their promising applications in wearable electronics and portable devices. To achieve a high-performance wearable strain sensor with a wide sensing range and high gauge factor (GF), wisely choosing appropriate conductive materials and a rational structural design is essential. Herein, we develop a supersensitive sensor that contains one-dimensional conductive material CNT and two-dimensional material MXene built on a PDMS porous foam that is made based on a sugar template. The one-dimensional carbon nanotube (CNT) functionalizes as a conductive scale layer through solvent swelling and evaporation on the surface of the PDMS skeleton. The two-dimensional MXene is applied on top of the CNT layer to form final conductive pathways. The PDMS/CNT@MXene (PCM) sensor has a wide sensing range (150%), high sensitivity (GF = 26438), rapid response speed (response/recovery time of 60/71 ms), and exceptional durability (>1000 cycles) owing to its unique porous structure with scale layers and graded fracture of conductive pathways. Moreover, the PCM sensor is capable of monitoring subtle and significant human activities and is used for wireless sensing and medical diagnostics, even for solvent identification. The superior performance of the PCM sensor provides vast application potential in human movement, health monitoring, and warning devices.

In this study, a crack-free PDMS–SiO 2 –BiPO 4 (P/Si/Bi) composite was prepared via a solgel-assisted route by dispersing pre-prepared bismuth oxybromide into a solution that was composed of hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS–OH), tetraethyl orthosilicate and phosphoric acid. Analysis via the FTIR, XRD, XPS and SEM–EDX techniques demonstrated that the nonisolated BiPO 4 particles with a monoclinic crystal phase were uniformly distributed on the surface of the P/Si/Bi composite, which can provide more active sites and a larger surface area for photocatalysis compared with other materials. The photocatalytic activity of the P/Si/Bi composite loaded with various mass ratios of BiPO 4 (9 wt%, 12 wt%, 18 wt% and 27 wt%) was investigated via the degradation of methylene blue (MB, 10 mg/L) under UV light irradiation. It was found that the P/Si/Bi composite loaded with 18 wt% BiPO 4 realized the highest degradation efficiency of MB, and its corresponding apparent rate constant was approximately 2.2 times that of the PDMS–SiO 2 –TiO 2 composite (loaded with 18 wt% TiO 2 ). The effects of inorganic ions on the degradation of MB were also investigated. The static contact angle and photocatalytic activity of the P/Si/Bi composite changed minimally after five cyclic experiments, thereby demonstrating its remarkable durability in sustainable applications. In addition, the photogenerated reactive species that were responsible for the degradation of MB within the P/Si/Bi composite were identified, and a photocatalytic mechanism was proposed.

All-inorganic perovskites have been considered next-generation color converters in the backlit due to their shining optical properties. However, structural instability severely limits their pragmatic applications. Here, CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 microcrystals (MCs) were successfully embedded in polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films by a facile two-step method. As-prepared PDMS films containing CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 MCs (CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 @PDMS) obtain high brightness and excellent stability. Meaningfully, the PDMS films not only serve as a double protective matrix that can be used to improve the stability of CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 MCs, but also a flexible substrate with high transparency that allows the CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 @PDMS films to be used as color conversion materials for backlit displays. To our surprise, when PDMS is coated with CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 MCs, the water, thermal and photostability are greatly improved, while the photoluminescence intensity only lost by 10%. Furthermore, by mixing CsPbBr 3 /Cs 4 PbBr 6 MCs with K 2 SiF 6 :Mn 4+ phosphors in PDMS, a monolithic film with high performance was obtained. Its color gamut can reach 127% of the NTSC 1953 standard and 95% of the REC. 2020 standard, exhibiting the bright prospects in the backlit display field.

Integrating an oxygen-sensitive probe (OSP) onto a three-dimensional (3D) microstructure substrate is a plausible technique to significantly improve the sensitivity of oxygen sensors. Despite the fact that polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrices are regarded as the ideal sensory support, there are still no reports on an OSP functionalized flexible PDMS-based micropillar array (PDMS-MPAs) film as an optical oxygen sensor with capabilities to efficiently improve the sensor's overall performance, e.g. sensitivity, detection limit and stability against photo-bleaching. Herein, we reported the covalent bonding of a functional copolymer of platinum porphyrin (PtTPP)/3-(trimethoxysily)propylmethacrylate (PtTPP/TPMA) as the OSP on the surface of hydroxyl-modified PDMS-MPAs through a “grafting reaction” between PtTPP/TPMA and PDMS-MPAs. The homogeneous dispersion and well-isolated arrangement of the PtTPP/TPMA OSP on the 3D PDMS-MPA surface can ensure that the grafted OSP efficiently quenches the oxygen molecules. Consequently, the 3D PtTPP/TPMA-PDMS-MPA sensor film gives rise to a high fluorescence quenching efficiency of about 95% at 1 atm O2 (I0/I100 = 23) and 96% in aqueous solution (I0/IO2satu = 16) with an excellent linear Stern–Volmer plot (ksv = 0.1 h Pa−1, R2 = 0.997 in gas atmosphere and ksv = 12.8 mmol−1 L, R2 = 0.999 in aqueous solution, respectively), excellent reversibility and an ultra-low detection limit (4.7 μmol L−1) when compared with state-of-the-art PDMS-based oxygen sensors. Apart from the competitive sensitivity, the highly durable, reusable superiorities of the 3D PtTPP/TPMA-PDMS-MPA film can further facilitate the exploration and realization of the presented strategy for future oxygen sensor applications, such as the characterization of nearly anoxic systems in harsh environments.

Membrane gas separation offers high energy efficiency, easy operation, and reduced environmental impacts for vast hydrocarbon recovery in the petrochemical industry. However, the recovery of real light hydrocarbon mixtures (e.g., olefin/nitrogen) remains challenging for lack of high-performance membranes with sufficient reverse selectivity (large molecules permeate faster) and permeability. Here, we report the incorporation of fine-tuned, giant-pore featured MIL-101 nanocrystals into rubbery polymers to fabricate hybrid membranes, which successfully exploited the giant-pore channels and large sorption volume of the MIL-101 pore system. The synthesized MIL-101/poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) hybrid membranes demonstrated remarkably simultaneous improvement of gas permeance and separation factor for the model gas mixture propylene/nitrogen. Compared with the pristine PDMS, the propylene permeance and separation factor could be improved by more than 50% by adjusting MIL-101 loading and operating conditions. By consulting molecular simulations and gas sorption analysis, we verified that the giant-pore system of MIL-101 and the elastic PDMS chains exhibited a synergistic effect on improving both hydrocarbon solution and diffusion. Pore properties of MIL-101 contributed favorably to accelerated propylene diffusion in MIL-101 that is 236% faster than that in PDMS. In the meantime, MIL-101 reinforced the hydrocarbon solution additionally to PDMS, which further facilitated hydrocarbon transport.

The hydrophobicity of porous particles is important for the performance of mixed-matrix membranes for pervaporation separation of n -butanol aqueous solution. Here, a strategy was proposed to further enhance the hydrophobicity of ZIF-8. ZIF-8 particles were first coated by polydopamine (PDA) to create chemically reactive surface and then modified with silane coupling agents n -propyltrimethoxysilane and n -octyltriethoxysilane. The water contact angles of the obtained P-ZIF-8@PDA and O-ZIF-8@PDA separately increased from 132.8° to 137.3° and 151.5°, which demonstrated a remarkable enhancement in hydrophobicity. The silane-modified ZIF-8 particles were subsequently incorporated into PDMS to fabricate mixed-matrix membranes, which exhibited an improved adsorption selectivity for butanol. The best membrane with 1 wt% loading (O-ZIF-8@PDA) exhibited a separation factor of 56 and butanol flux of 480.6 g m −2 h −1 for a 1.5 wt% butanol solution at 55 °C. The separation factor increased by 23% compared with that of a ZIF-8/PDMS membrane. Moreover, compared with those of a pure PDMS membrane, the separation factor and butanol flux increased by 34% and 85%, respectively. Thus, the strategy is an effective method to improve the PV performance of PDMS membranes for butanol separation.

The intensification of electromagnetic pollution has boosted the exploration of high-performance electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding materials. Herein, 2D MXene, 1D nickel (Ni) chain and PDMS were anchored on 3D porous skeleton of melamine sponge (MS) by a simple, inexpensive and scalable “dipping and coating” method, and a lightweight 3D hybrid nanostructure (MXene-Ni-PDMS/MS) was prepared. Super hydrophobic, high electric conductivity, excellent EMI shielding and outstanding super-elastic performances were obtained via the synergy effect of conductive 2D MXene and 1D Ni chain and hydrophobic PDMS. The results showed that the EMI of MXene-Ni-PDMS/MS with thickness of 10 mm could reach about 50 dB, which was 50 % higher than 25 dB of sponge with thickness of 2 mm, and could meet 20 dB commercial application. Moreover, the hybrid sponge exhibited super-elastic characteristics and could recover to its original state under 60 % strain during compressive fatigue. Even when it was subjected to 500 cycles at 40 % strain, the maximum compressive stress, Young's modulus and energy loss coefficient slightly decreased, indicating that the structure could maintain stable physical properties. The water contact angle could reach 145.1°, showing hydrophobic characteristics. This work offers a novel way for synthesis of excellent EMI shielding materials based on sponge.

In this work, a translucent superhydrophobic coating was fabricated by a simple spray-coating technique using fluorine-free and easily available materials, viz , the hybrids of PDMS and PMMA in THF solution, without any pre-/post-treatment. The combination of the microscale roughness of the sprayed-PMMA, along with the low surface energy PDMS, has contributed to the observed superhydrophobicity. The as-prepared PDMS/PMMA@superhydrophobic surface has displayed a water contact angle of 157.5° and sliding angle of 2.8°. Furthermore, the liquids with various surface tension, ranging from water to various organic liquids, displayed nearly spherical shapes on the superhydrophobic substrate. In addition, this coating has also shown significant stability against sand abrasion and water droplet impact, and was able to maintain its superhydrophobicity after being soaked in strong acid and salkali solutions. Moreover, the superhydrophobic coating was found to be translucent with good visibility of the characters through the coated glass substrate. The transformation from a superhydrophobic state to superhydrophilic state can be realized via a hot-press process, and such a facile technique can be easily applied to potential applications in surface patterning. Additionally, the super-antiwetting surface has been demonstrated for applications in highly efficient oil-water emulsion separation, anti-fouling, and self-cleaning.

Stretchable encapsulation plays a crucial role in expanding the applications of flexible electronics, particularly the large-area flexible displays. In this work, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) hybrid films with high stretchability, excellent transparency, and good barrier property are achieved by a simple process of SiO 2 doping and atomic layer infiltration (ALI). The doped SiO 2 improves the mechanical property and serves as reaction sites for the Al 2 O 3 infiltration. A clear “nucleation-filling-coating” mechanism of Al 2 O 3 ALI is proposed and elaborated in detail by in situ quartz crystal microbalance. The optimized PDMS hybrid films exhibit a relatively low water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) value of 1.81 × 10 −3 g m −2 day −1 and excellent mechanical reliability, where after 1000 cycles of the fatigue stretching test at 1% tensile strain the WVTR only slightly increases to 2.01 × 10 −3 g m −2 day −1 . Furthermore, the patterned quantum dots encapsulated with PDMS hybrid films still retain more than 50% photoluminescent intensity even after the stretching and storage in deionized water for 2400 h, which is ≈80 times longer than the pristine ones. Therefore, the proposed combined method of SiO 2 doping and ALI modification has great and practical implications for stretchable encapsulations for future flexible electronics.
