Living organisms have evolved fascinating structural colors to survive in complex natural
environments. Artificial photonic composites developed by imitating the structural colors of …

The concern regarding increasing oil consumption that originates from the high rolling
resistance of automobiles has led to the development of green tires. The key enabling …

The deformation behavior of neat, glassy polymer-grafted nanoparticle (PGN) monolayer
films is studied using coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulations and experiments on …

The strength of silica-based mechanochromic nanocomposites was improved by a novel
nanocomposite synthesized by grafting poly (butyl acrylate)(PBA)-b-poly (methyl …

The intrinsic hydrophobicity of rubber matrices renders compatibility with polar fillers rather
difficult in most cases. In this manuscript, a cobalt complex supported by a 2-oxazoline …

One of the biggest challenges facing the development of comfortable wearable electronics is
the fabrication of stretchable power sources, which are inherently safe and can maintain …

Light produced by synchrotron radiation (SR) is much brighter than that produced by
conventional laboratory X-ray sources. The photon energy of SR X-ray ranges from soft and …

The rupture of noncovalent cross-links with specimen deformation has been frequently
regarded as the main cause of the toughness of materials with transient networks. However …

Although carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) have excellent mechanical properties
and are considered sustainable, an improved understanding of the fatigue behavior of these …

In this study, core–shell-hairy-type melanin particles surface modified with a polydopamine
shell layer and a polymer brush hairy layer were fabricated and assembled to readily obtain …
