TL;DR: An overview of recent progress in the area of cellulose nanofibre-based nanocomposites is given in this article, with particular emphasis on applications, such as reinforced adhesives, to make optically transparent paper for electronic displays, to create DNA-hybrid materials, to generate hierarchical composites and for use in foams, aerogels and starch nanocom composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optically healable supramolecular polymers
Mark Burnworth,Li-Ming Tang,Justin R. Kumpfer,Andrew J. Duncan,Frederick L. Beyer,Gina L. Fiore,Stuart J. Rowan,Christoph Weder,Christoph Weder +8 more
TL;DR: This work presents metallosupramolecular polymers that can be mended through exposure to light, which consist of telechelic, rubbery, low-molecular-mass polymers with ligand end groups that are non-covalently linked through metal-ion binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stimuli-Responsive Polymer Nanocomposites Inspired by the Sea Cucumber Dermis
Jeffrey R. Capadona,Kadhiravan Shanmuganathan,Dustin J. Tyler,Stuart J. Rowan,Christoph Weder +4 more
TL;DR: A family of polymer nanocomposites are reported on, which mimic this architecture and display similar chemoresponsive mechanic adaptability and larger modulus changes upon exposure to emulated physiological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanoresponsive Luminescent Molecular Assemblies: An Emerging Class of Materials
TL;DR: The possibility to change the molecular assembled structures of organic and organometallic materials through mechanical stimulation is emerging as a general and powerful concept for the design of functional materials, enabling the development of molecular materials with mechanoresponsive luminescence characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Emergence of Nanoplastic in the Environment and Possible Impact on Human Health
TL;DR: The influence of particle size and surface chemistry are discussed, in order to understand the possible risks of nanoplastics for humans and provide recommendations for future studies.
