Fluoroalkyl silane modified silicone rubber/nanoparticle composite: a super durable, robust superhydrophobic fabric coating.
TL;DR: A superhydrophobic fabric coating made of a crosslinked polydimethylsiloxane elastomer, containing well-dispersed hydrophobic silica nanoparticles and fluorinated alkyl silane shows remarkable durability against repeated machine washes, severe abrasion, strong acid or base, boiling water or beverages and excellent stain resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust, self-healing superamphiphobic fabrics prepared by two-step coating of fluoro-containing polymer, fluoroalkyl silane, and modified silica nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, a robust, superamphiphobic fabric with a self-healing ability to autorepair from chemical damage is prepared by a two-step wet-chemistry coating technique using an easily available material system consisting of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene), fluoroalkyl silane, and modified silica nanoparticles.

TL;DR: Thermocells are demonstrated, in practical configurations, that harvest low-grade thermal energy using relatively inexpensive carbon multiwalled nanotube (MWNT) electrodes that provide high electrochemically accessible surface areas and fast redox-mediated electron transfer, which significantly enhances thermocell current generation capacity and overall efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust, superamphiphobic fabric with multiple self-healing ability against both physical and chemical damages.
TL;DR: A superamphiphobic fabric that has remarkable multi-self-healing ability against both physical and chemical damages and may find applications for the development of "smart" functional textiles for various applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robust, electro-conductive, self-healing superamphiphobic fabric prepared by one-step vapour-phase polymerisation of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) in the presence of fluorinated decyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane and fluorinated alkyl silane
TL;DR: In this paper, a robust, electrically conductive, superamphiphobic fabric was prepared by vapour-phase polymerisation of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) on fabric in the presence of fluorinated decyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (FD-POSS) and a fluorinated alkyl silane (FAS).
