Abstract This paper provides a review of recent developments in the rapidly changing and advancing field of textile-based flexible pressure sensors. It summarizes the basic principles and approaches employed when building textile-based pressure sensors as well as the most commonly used materials and techniques. The textile pressure sensor is a promising candidate for the next-generation sensing platform since it can be easily incorporated into modern garments in a breathable and conformable way. This article briefly introduces the characteristics of piezoelectric, capacitance, piezoresistive and triboelectric flexible pressure sensors, focuses on the working principles of these four types of flexible pressure sensors and reviews their recent progress and applications in electronic skin, health care and rehabilitation, human motion capture, physiological activity monitoring and human-machine interaction. Moreover, the remaining challenges in the development process and prospects of textile-based flexible sensors are discussed.

Abstract Typically, polymeric materials experience material degradation and damage over time in harsh environments. Improved understanding of the physical and chemical processes associated with possible damage modes intended in high-pressure hydrogen gas exposed atmospheres will help to select and develop materials well suited for applications fulfilling future energy demands in hydrogen as an energy carrier. In high-pressure hydrogen gas exposure conditions, damage from rapid gas decompression (RGD) and from aging in elastomeric as well as thermoplastic material components is unavoidable. This review discusses the applications of polymeric materials in a multi-material approach in the realization of the “Hydrogen economy”. It covers the limitations of existing polymeric components, the current knowledge on polymeric material testing and characterization, and the latest developments. Some improvements are suggested in terms of material development and testing procedures to fill in the gaps in existing knowledge in the literature.

Abstract Elastomer foams have been widely used in many applications and have shown potential in some advanced fields because of their excellent flexibility. Elastomers foamed with a physical blowing agent solve the problems of traditional chemical foaming, endow elastomer foams with advantages of environmental-friendly features, uniform cell structure, adjustable material properties, and high processing efficiency. However, unlike foaming of thermoplastic materials, low matrix modulus and high gas diffusivity leads to serious foam post-foaming shrinkage and hinders the preparation of low density elastomer foams. In the past two decades, researchers have selected different elastomer systems and applied various foaming methods and strategies to prepare elastomer foams with improved performance through understanding the foaming mechanisms. This article reviews these investigations and discusses the developments made so far in physical foaming of elastomers.

Abstract In recent decades, the role of poly(dopamine) in governing mussel adhesion has been gradually understood and exploited as a novel bio-mimicking adhesion concept. In parallel, the polysaccharide materials present a broad class of functional materials ranging from macro- to nanoscale components with broad variety in chemical structure, morphology and reactivity. The cross-over between both research fields enables the creation of fascinating materials with advanced engineering properties, where the (poly)dopamine serves as a general platform for the functionalization of polysaccharides. In this review, the role of poly(dopamine) in modification of cellulose and nanocellulose materials is discussed by means of several recent examples from literature. A broad variety of applications is presented, including bio-composites, nanoparticles and nanofibers, nanocomposites, hydrogels, aerogels, textiles, adhesives, films and papermaking applications. The review aims at stressing the viability of technical applications against a background of both the chemical and engineering aspects of dopamine-modified cellulose.

Abstract Bacterial cellulose (BC), associated with hydroxyapatite (HA), is a hybrid scaffold that shows promise for use in bone tissue engineering, owing to its osteoconductive, osteoinductive, and osteogenic properties. The hybrid material, constituted of organic and inorganic phases, can be produced by in situ or ex situ routes via three main processes: biomimetic, immersion cycles, and chemical precipitation. This composite has exceptional properties, such as biocompatibility, mechanical strength, conformability, and elasticity, due to the synergetic effect of both phases compared to the single phase. Recent studies have reported on the usefulness of this composite with regard to the adhesion, proliferation, and migration of bone cells for bone healing. The purpose of this review is to report on the state of the art of BC/HA as a hybrid membrane, presenting its synthesis process, the major properties of the single organic and inorganic phases, and their combination, as well as characterization methods, and pre-clinical and clinical studies of bone repair. We also highlight recent progress in the development of multiphasic systems (biopolymers, nanostructures, and factor growth), focusing on the addition of metal cations to improve functionality (particularly strontium).

Abstract With very fast polymerization in mild reaction conditions and unique characteristic of double bonds in its synthesized polymer skeleton for further modification and functionalization, ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) becomes one typical processing method to obtain anion exchange membrane (AEM) for fuel cells. In this paper, AEMs prepared by ROMP are reviewed. Polycyclooctene and polynorbornene AEMs with both good stability and high conductivity are achieved with different ion exchange groups such as quaternary ammonium, phosphorus and metal cations (such as bis(terpyridine)-ruthenium(II) and cobaltocenium). Polymer structure and ion channels are mainly constructed in the polymer skeleton to form the “ion channel” microphase-separated structure to improve its chemical stability and ionic conductivity. On the basis of selected ion exchange groups and optimized polymer skeleton, performances obtained in these ion exchange membranes (IEMs) and their corresponding fuel cell performances are summarized. These polycyclooctene and polynorbornene AEMs have excellent properties and promising performances in fuel cells. We believe that further exploration of this class of AEM may lead to practical applications.

Abstract With the development of electronic communication technology, the issues of electromagnetic (EM) wave pollution have become increasingly prominent, and the requirements for EM wave absorbing materials are rising. Polypyrrole (PPy), an important type of conductive polymers, has attracted increasing attention in the applications of EM wave absorbing due to their facile synthesis process, low density, good conductivity, corrosion resistance, and stable chemical properties. Various PPy-based composite materials exhibit excellent electromagnetic absorbing properties and have been widely reported in the literature. In this review, the recent development and understanding of PPy and PPy-based composites materials in the applications of EM wave absorption are summarized in detail. In particular, as a conductive loss-type absorbing material, we focus on the design and fabrication of PPy-based composites and explore the significant impact of EM parameters on the EM wave absorbing properties. Finally, perspectives are provided for future directions of advanced PPy and PPy-based composites for microwave absorbers.

Abstract Conducting polyaniline (PANI) brings together the electrical conductivity of metals with intriguing properties of plastics including facile processing as well as controllable chemical and physical properties. The nanoscaled PANI has attracted intense interest in various fields owing to the great physicochemical features including high conductivity, facile preparation, and fascinating redox behavior. PANI-based nanocomposites can help biocatalysts and bioreceptors including enzymes, antigen-antibodies, cells, and nucleic acids to immobilize on the surface in order to detect analytes and allow the biosensing process to occur at room temperature. In this article, an in-depth overview of the synthesis methods of PANI-based composites, their biomedical applications as biosensors, current states, challenges, and the potential application of them in the future have been presented and discussed. Additionally, recent PANI-based biosensing devices for the detection of glucose, cholesterol, choline, virus, cancer, and bacteria have been described.
