Nevertheless, poor corrosion resistance hinders their biomedical applications. Besides, it is necessary to endow Mg alloys with bioactive property, which is crucial for temporary bone implants. Here, a self-healing, corrosion resistant and bioactive duplex coating of plasma electrolytic oxidization(PEO)/polydopamine(PDA) is applied on AZ91 substrate using PEO and subsequent electrodeposition process. Moreover, the role of different electrodeposition times(60 s, 120 s) and dopamine concentrations(1 and 1.5 mg/ml) to improve corrosion resistance, bioactivity, biocompatibility and self-healing property and its mechanism are investigated. The results indicate that the PEO coating is efficiently sealed by the PDA, depending on the electrodeposition parameters. Noticeably, electrodeposition for 120 s in dopamine concentration of 1 mg/ml(120T-1C) results in the formation of uniform and crack-free PDA coating. Duplex PEO/PDA coatings reveal high bioactivity compared to PEO coating, owing to electrostatic interaction between PDA top-layer and calcium and phosphate ions as well as high hydrophilicity of coatings. In addition, duplex PEO/PDA coatings also show improved and more stable protective performance than the PEO and bare alloy, depending on the PDA deposition parameters. Noticeably, the corrosion current density of the 120T-1C decreases one orders of magnitude compared to PEO. In addition, the presence of a broad passivation region in the anodic polarization branch shows durable self-healing property via Zipper-like mechanism, demonstrating the duplex coating could preserve promising corrosion resistance.Furthermore, the cytocompatibility of duplex coated samples is also confirmed via interaction with MG63 cells. In summary, the PEO/PDA coating with great corrosion protection, self-healing ability, bioactivity and biocompatibility could be a promising candidate for degradable magnesium-based implants.展开更多

However,the lubricant coating has some disadvantages such as complex construction processing and easy loss of oil phase in air or dynamic water phase. In this study, oleogel is infused into a lotus leaf inspired super-hydrophobic matrix to form an oleogel infused surface(OIS) for enhancing corrosion resistance of active Mg-Li alloy. For reserving oleogel, firstly, a facile one-step electrodeposition method is used to construct super-hydrophobic surface(SHS) composed by samarium/myristic acid complex micro-nano flower structure onto Mg-Li alloy.The coating exhibits excellent superhydrophobic property at a static contact angle of 160° by applying 30 V electrolysis for 30 min. The protection efficiency of single SHS highly relates with the metal itself. For short period immersion in water phase, SHS can afford protection to Mg-Li alloy. However, the long-term immersion will see the rapid failure of SHS, and the high activity of Mg-Li alloy is one main reason.We assume that SHS cannot be a good choice for protecting Mg-Li alloy. Then, a Nepenthes inspired liquid coating is formed by infusing oleogel into the micro-nano structure by a spin-coating method. The liquid coating performs prominent corrosion resistance with Rctreaching as high as 1.51 × 10^(10)Ω cm^(2). After the mechanical damage from the external environment, the liquid coating can realize self-repair through thermal assistance, and the liquid coating can still restore Rctup to 1.24 × 10^(10)Ω cm^(2) after healing. The corrosion resistance of the liquid coating remains strong by showing Rctas high as 1.14 × 10^(9)Ω cm^(2), even after immersion in representative corrosive 3.5 wt% Na Cl solution for 30 d.展开更多

文摘The booming wearable/portable electronic devices industry has stimulated the progress of supporting flexible energy storage devices.Excellent performance of flexible devices not only requires the component units of each device to maintain the original performance under external forces,but also demands the overall device to be flexible in response to external fields.However,flexible energy storage devices inevitably occur mechanical damages(extrusion,impact,vibration)/electrical damages(overcharge,over-discharge,external short circuit)during longterm complex deformation conditions,causing serious performance degradation and safety risks.Inspired by the healing phenomenon of nature,endowing energy storage devices with self-healing capability has become a promising strategy to effectively improve the durability and functionality of devices.Herein,this review systematically summarizes the latest progress in intrinsic self-healing chemistry for energy storage devices.Firstly,the main intrinsic self-healing mechanism is introduced.Then,the research situation of electrodes,electrolytes,artificial interface layers and integrated devices based on intrinsic self-healing and advanced characterization technology is reviewed.Finally,the current challenges and perspective are provided.We believe this critical review will contribute to the development of intrinsic self-healing chemistry in the flexible energy storage field.

文摘Hydrogels exhibit potential applications in smart wearable devices because of their exceptional sensitivity to various external stimuli.However,their applications are limited by challenges in terms of issues in biocompatibility,custom shape,and self-healing.Herein,a conductive,stretchable,adaptable,self-healing,and biocompatible liquid metal GaInSn/Ni-based composite hydrogel is developed by incorporating a magnetic liquid metal into the hydrogel framework through crosslinking polyvinyl alcohol(PVA)with sodium tetraborate.The excellent stretchability and fast self-healing capability of the PVA/liquid metal hydrogel are derived from its abundant hydrogen binding sites and liquid metal fusion.Significantly,owing to the magnetic constituent,the PVA/liquid metal hydrogel can be guided remotely using an external magnetic field to a specific position to repair the broken wires with no need for manual operation.The composite hydrogel also exhibits sensitive deformation responses and can be used as a strain sensor to monitor various body motions.Additionally,the multifunctional hydrogel displays absorption-dominated electromagnetic interference(EMI)shielding properties.The total shielding performance of the composite hydrogel increases to~62.5 dB from~31.8 dB of the pure PVA hydrogel at the thickness of 3.0 mm.The proposed bioinspired multifunctional magnetic hydrogel demonstrates substantial application potential in the field of intelligent wearable devices.
文摘Today,self-healing graphene-and MXene-based composites have attracted researchers due to the increase in durability as well as the cost reduction in long-time applications.Different studies have focused on designing novel self-healing graphene-and MXenebased composites with enhanced sensitivity,stretchability,and flexibility as well as improved electrical conductivity,healing efficacy,mechanical properties,and energy conversion efficacy.These composites with self-healing properties can be employed in the field of wearable sensors,supercapacitors,anticorrosive coatings,electromagnetic interference shielding,electronic-skin,soft robotics,etc.However,it appears that more explorations are still needed to achieve composites with excellent arbitrary shape adaptability,suitable adhesiveness,ideal durability,high stretchability,immediate self-healing responsibility,and outstanding electromagnetic features.Besides,optimizing reaction/synthesis conditions and finding suitable strategies for functionalization/modification are crucial aspects that should be comprehensively investigated.MXenes and graphene exhibited superior electrochemical properties with abundant surface terminations and great surface area,which are important to evolve biomedical and sensing applications.However,flexibility and stretchability are important criteria that need to be improved for their future applications.Herein,the most recent advancements pertaining to the applications and properties of self-healing graphene-and MXene-based composites are deliberated,focusing on crucial challenges and future perspectives.

文摘The advance of microelectronics requires the micropower of microsupercapacitors(MSCs) to possess wide temperature-and damage-tolerance beyond high areal energy density.The properties of electrolyte are crucial for MSCs to meet the above requirements.Here,an organohydrogel electrolyte,featured with high salt tolerance,ultralow freezing point,and strong self-healing ability,is experimentally realized via modulating its inner dynamic bonds.Spectroscopic and theoretical analysis reveal that dimethyl sulfoxide has the ability to reconstruct Li^(+)solvation structure,and interact with free water and polyvinyl alcohol chains via forming hydrogen bonds.The organohydrogel electrolyte is employed to build MSCs,which show a boosted energy density,promising wide temperature range-and damage-tolerant ability.These attractive features make the designed organohydrogel electrolyte have great potential to advance MSCs.

文摘In this study,we proposed a self-healing conductive hydrogel based on polysaccharides and Li+to serve as flexible sensors.At first,the oxidized sodium alginate(OSA)was obtained through the oxidation reaction of sodium alginate(SA).Then OSA,carboxymethyl chitosan(CMC),and agarose(AGO)were dissolved in LiCl solution,respectively.Finally,the hydrogel was obtained through heating,mixing,and cooling processes.Because of the Schiff base structure and hydrogen bonding,the hydrogel demonstrates good mechanical and self-healing properties.The presence of Li+provides good conductivity for the hydrogel.In addition,we demonstrated the application of the hydrogel as the flexible sensors.It can perceive the process of pressing Morse code with the index finger as a pressure sensor and monitor sliding movement of the thumb as the strain sensor to browse the web with the mobile phone.Thus,the selfhealing conductive hydrogel may have potential applications in flexible wearable sensors.
文摘Magnesium(Mg) alloys are well-known in biomedical materials owing to their elastic module near to bone, biocompatibility and biodegradation properties. Nevertheless, poor corrosion resistance hinders their biomedical applications. Besides, it is necessary to endow Mg alloys with bioactive property, which is crucial for temporary bone implants. Here, a self-healing, corrosion resistant and bioactive duplex coating of plasma electrolytic oxidization(PEO)/polydopamine(PDA) is applied on AZ91 substrate using PEO and subsequent electrodeposition process. Moreover, the role of different electrodeposition times(60 s, 120 s) and dopamine concentrations(1 and 1.5 mg/ml) to improve corrosion resistance, bioactivity, biocompatibility and self-healing property and its mechanism are investigated. The results indicate that the PEO coating is efficiently sealed by the PDA, depending on the electrodeposition parameters. Noticeably, electrodeposition for 120 s in dopamine concentration of 1 mg/ml(120T-1C) results in the formation of uniform and crack-free PDA coating. Duplex PEO/PDA coatings reveal high bioactivity compared to PEO coating, owing to electrostatic interaction between PDA top-layer and calcium and phosphate ions as well as high hydrophilicity of coatings. In addition, duplex PEO/PDA coatings also show improved and more stable protective performance than the PEO and bare alloy, depending on the PDA deposition parameters. Noticeably, the corrosion current density of the 120T-1C decreases one orders of magnitude compared to PEO. In addition, the presence of a broad passivation region in the anodic polarization branch shows durable self-healing property via Zipper-like mechanism, demonstrating the duplex coating could preserve promising corrosion resistance.Furthermore, the cytocompatibility of duplex coated samples is also confirmed via interaction with MG63 cells. In summary, the PEO/PDA coating with great corrosion protection, self-healing ability, bioactivity and biocompatibility could be a promising candidate for degradable magnesium-based implants.

文摘In order to investigate the behavior characteristics of asphalt components during the process of nano-cracks temperature self-healing(NTS),molecular simulation technology was used to simulate the temperature self-healing of asphalt.Based on the determination of asphalts(virgin asphalt and aged asphalt),the proportional changes of asphalt components were confirmed.The distribution characteristics of asphalt components were obtained by marking different components in the process of NTS.At the same time,the rationality of the micro simulation findings was confirmed by asphalt performance tests and infrared spectroscopy results.The results show that different asphalt components have different behavior characteristics in the process of NTS.The content of asphaltene and resin plays a key role in the process of NTS,while saturation and aromatics play an active role in the temperature self-healing before and after aging.The NTS is the result of the comprehensive action of different components,and the self-healing efficiency is proportional to the relative molecular mass.The effect of aging on the NTS is also realized by changing the proportion of asphalt components.

文摘In this study,an integrative bioinspired coating system for antifouling and corrosion resistance was investigated,in which self-healing nanocapsules(tung oil calcium alginate,TO@CA),doped polyaniline and nano-titanium dioxide nanocomposites(SPAn–TiO_(2))and a biostructure metal surface were combined.The antifouling property of the bioinspired coating resulted from the synergistic antifouling effect of nano-TiO_(2)and acid-doped polyaniline in SPAn–TiO_(2).The protonated nitrogen with a positive charge in SPAn–TiO_(2)and the intrinsic bactericidal property of nano-TiO_(2)could damage negatively charged single-celled chlorella,endowing the composite coating with good antifouling performance(less algae attached on the surfaces after a 90-day antifouling test and a conductivity test).The composite bioinspired coating had excellent corrosion resistance,which was due to the good synergistic anticorrosion barrier effect of SPAn–TiO_(2)with TO@CA nanocapsules and the repairing ability of microcracks of TO@CA nanocapsules during the corrosion process.The bioinspired coating with 2 wt%SPAn–TiO_(2)and 2 wt%TO@CA nanocapsules exhibited a better adhesion,corrosion resistance and antifouling performance than the other coatings did.

文摘Bioinspired by Nepenthes, lubricant infused surfaces(LIS) have attracted widespread attention in the field of anticorrosion. However,the lubricant coating has some disadvantages such as complex construction processing and easy loss of oil phase in air or dynamic water phase. In this study, oleogel is infused into a lotus leaf inspired super-hydrophobic matrix to form an oleogel infused surface(OIS) for enhancing corrosion resistance of active Mg-Li alloy. For reserving oleogel, firstly, a facile one-step electrodeposition method is used to construct super-hydrophobic surface(SHS) composed by samarium/myristic acid complex micro-nano flower structure onto Mg-Li alloy.The coating exhibits excellent superhydrophobic property at a static contact angle of 160° by applying 30 V electrolysis for 30 min. The protection efficiency of single SHS highly relates with the metal itself. For short period immersion in water phase, SHS can afford protection to Mg-Li alloy. However, the long-term immersion will see the rapid failure of SHS, and the high activity of Mg-Li alloy is one main reason.We assume that SHS cannot be a good choice for protecting Mg-Li alloy. Then, a Nepenthes inspired liquid coating is formed by infusing oleogel into the micro-nano structure by a spin-coating method. The liquid coating performs prominent corrosion resistance with Rctreaching as high as 1.51 × 10^(10)Ω cm^(2). After the mechanical damage from the external environment, the liquid coating can realize self-repair through thermal assistance, and the liquid coating can still restore Rctup to 1.24 × 10^(10)Ω cm^(2) after healing. The corrosion resistance of the liquid coating remains strong by showing Rctas high as 1.14 × 10^(9)Ω cm^(2), even after immersion in representative corrosive 3.5 wt% Na Cl solution for 30 d.

文摘Ionic gels can be potentially used in wearable devices owing to their high humidity resistance and non-volatility.However,the applicability of existing ionic gel pressure sensors is limited by their low sensitivity.Therefore,it is very import-ant to develop an ionic gel pressure sensor with high sensitivity and a wide pressure detection range without sacrificing mechan-ical stretchability and self-healing ability.Herein,we report an effective strategy for developing pressure sensors based on ion-ic gel composites consisting of high-molecular-weight polymers,ionic liquids,and Au nanoparticles.The resulting capacitive pressure sensors exhibit high pressure sensitivity,fast response,and excellent self-healing properties.The sensors composed of highly hydrophobic polymers and ionic liquids can be used to track underwater movements,demonstrating broad application prospects in human motion state monitoring and underwater mechanical operations.
文摘Surface coatings have been extensively used to control the degradation rate of Mg alloys for bioimplant applications.However,these coatings only act as passive barriers.In corrosive media,structural damage impairs their barrier properties,resulting in rapid degradation of Mg alloys.The present study incorporates phytic acid(PA)as a healing agent in polycaprolactone(PCL)microcapsules with a unique honeycomb core matrix to obtain a self-healing PA-PCLcaps coating.The contact between simulated body fluid(SBF)and PA-PCLcaps coated ZM21 exhibited Cassie-Baxter interfacial states,resulting in significant hydrophobicity with a contact angle(CA)of 116.3.The corrosion potential(Ecorr)and current density(Icorr)were found to be-0.28 V and 1.1×10^(-9)A/cm^(2),respectively,for PA-PCLcaps coating,resulting in biosafe corrosion rate of 2.5×10^(-4)mm/year.After mechanical scratching,rapid HA mineralization at scratched regions recovered the hydrogen evolution rate(HER,0.36 mL/cm^(2)/day)and pH change(pH 7.10)of scratched PA-PCLcaps coated ZM21 samples to corresponding unscratched samples within one day of immersion.The coating’s self-healing ability could be attributed to PA released from punctured microcapsules,which facilitates HA chelation.The pH-triggered(pH 10)and Mg(II)-triggered(5 mM)conditions enhanced PA release from PA-PCLcaps coating by 2.5 and 3.1 times,respectively.As a result,dense HA mineralization occurred,which protects the coating from structural defects and ensures its durability in stimulating conditions.The findings of present study provide new insight for design of multiple stimuli-feedback based self-healing coatings on biodegradable Mg alloys.

文摘Gallium oxide(Ga_(2)O_(3))based flexible heterojunction type deep ultraviolet(UV)photodetectors show excellent solar-blind photoelectric performance,even when not powered,which makes them ideal for use in intelligent wearable devices.How-ever,traditional flexible photodetectors are prone to damage during use due to poor toughness,which reduces the service life of these devices.Self-healing hydrogels have been demonstrated to have the ability to repair damage and their combination with Ga_(2)O_(3) could potentially improve the lifetime of the flexible photodetectors while maintaining their performance.Herein,a novel self-healing and self-powered flexible photodetector has been constructed onto the hydrogel substrate,which exhibits an excellent responsivity of 0.24 mA/W under 254 nm UV light at zero bias due to the built-in electric field originating from the PEDOT:PSS/Ga_(2)O_(3) heterojunction.The self-healing of the Ga_(2)O_(3) based photodetector was enabled by the reversible property of the synthesis of agarose and polyvinyl alcohol double network,which allows the photodetector to recover its original configu-ration and function after damage.After self-healing,the photocurrent of the photodetector decreases from 1.23 to 1.21μA,while the dark current rises from 0.95 to 0.97μA,with a barely unchanged of photoresponse speed.Such a remarkable recov-ery capability and the photodetector’s superior photoelectric performance not only significantly enhance a device lifespan but also present new possibilities to develop wearable and intelligent electronics in the future.

文摘Coating technologies are a commonly used way to protect metals against corrosion.However,with more and more severe service environments of materials,many protective coating systems often are not environmentally friendly or toxic as in the case of chromates.Based on the world’s abundant ideal magnesium(Mg)and its alloy,the smart self-healing anticorrosive coating can autonomously restore the damaged part of the coating according to the environmental changes,strengthen the corrosion protection ability,and prolong its service life.This paper reviews the research progress of smart self-healing coatings on Mg alloys.These coatings mostly contain suitable corrosion inhibitors encapsulated into micro/nano containers.Moreover,the different self-healing mechanisms and functionalities of micro/nano containers are discussed.The micro/nano containers range from inorganic nanocontainers such as mesoporous nanoparticles(silica(SiO_(2)),titanium dioxide(TiO_(2)),etc.),over inorganic clays(halloysite,hydrotalcite-like,zeolite),to organic nanocontainers such as polymer microcapsules,nanofibers,chitosan(CS)and cyclodextrin(CD),as well as,carbon materials such as graphene and carbon nanotubes and hybrids such as metal organic frameworks.The functioning of micro/nano containers can be divided in two principal groups:autonomous(based on defect filling and corrosion inhibition)and non-autonomous(based on dynamic bonds and shape memory polymers).Moreover,multi functionalities and composite applications of various micro/nano containers are summarized.At present,significant progress has been made in the preparation methods and technologies of micro/nano containers.Achieving long-term self-healing properties of coatings sensing of coating failure and early warning after self-healing function failure can be expected as the main development direction of self-healing corrosion protection coatings in the future.

文摘Microcapsule self-healing technology is one of the effective methods to solve the durability problem of cementbased composites.The evaluation method of the self-healing efficiency of microcapsule self-healing cement-based composites is one of the difficulties that limits the self-healing technology.This paper attempts to characterize the self-healing efficiency of microcapsule self-healing cement-based composites by acoustic emission(AE)parameters,which provides a reference for the evaluation of microcapsule self-healing technology.Firstly,a kind of self-healing microcapsules were prepared,and the microcapsules were added into the cement-based composites to prepare the compression samples.Then,the specimen with certain pre damage was obtained by compression test.Secondly,the damaged samples were divided into two groups.One group was directly used for compression tests to obtain the damage failure process.The other group was put into water for healing for 30 days,and then compression tests were carried out to study the influence of self-healing on the compression failure process.During the experiments,the AE signals were collected and the AE characteristics were extracted for the evaluation of self-healing efficiency.The results show that the compression pre damage test can trigger the microcapsule,and the compression strength of the self-healing sample is improved.The failure mechanism of microcapsule selfhealing cement-based composites can be revealed by the AE parameters during compression,and the self-healing efficiency can be quantitatively characterized by AE hits.The research results of this paper provide experimental reference and technical support for the mechanical property test and healing efficiency evaluation of microcapsule self-healing cement-based composites.

文摘Recyclability and self-healing are two most critical factors in developing sustainable polymers to deal with environmental pollution and resource waste.In this work,a dynamic cross-linked polyimide insulation film with full closed-loop recyclability is successfully prepared,which also possesses good self-healing ability after being mechanical/electrical damaged depending on the Schiff base dynamic covalent bonds.The recycled and self-healed polyimide film still maintain its good tensile strength(r t)>60 MPa with Young’s modulus(E)>4 GPa,high thermal stability with glass transition temperature(T g)>220℃,and outstanding insulation property with breakdown strength(E 0)>358 kV mm^(-1),making it a very promising low energy consumption and high temperature resistant insulation material.The strategy of using Schiff base dynamic covalent bonds for reversible repairing the structure of high T g polyimides promotes the wider application of such sustainable and recyclable material in the field of electrical power and micro-electronics.

文摘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 nonflammability.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.
文摘The complexity of computer architectures, software, web applications, and its large spread worldwide using the internet and the rapid increase in the number of users in companion with the increase of maintenance cost are all factors guided many researchers to develop software, web applications and systems that have the ability of self-healing.

There are different aspects which will make us understand the different benefits of these self-healing systems. Finally, the approaches, techniques, mechanisms and individual characteristics of self healing are classified in different tables and then summarized.
