Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Inspired by natural mussels, a novel dopamine-grafted cellulose nanofiber (DA-CNF) functional filler and Zn 2+ were incorporated into polysiloxane-polyurea to create advanced composites for Internet of Things applications. Through experimental characterization, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and finite element (FE) analysis, we thoroughly investigated the mechanism by which DA-CNF and Zn 2+ improve the mechanical and self-healing properties of the polymer. The innovative synergistic effect of extra-added dynamic hydrogen bonds and metal ion coordination bonds between the filler and matrix simultaneously enhanced mechanical strength and self-healing efficiency, overcoming the traditional trade-off problem in conventional polymers. The results showed that the tensile strength and healing efficiency of DA-CNF/PU@Zn 2+ were 198.89 % and 104.77 % of the value of the control sample, respectively. This performance significantly surpasses that of previously reported self-healing polydimethylsiloxane-based materials. In the EMI shielding tests for Internet of Things applications, the conductive composite film fabricated with DA-CNF/PU@Zn 2+ and silver nanowires (AgNWs) effectively addresses the issues of resource waste and device stability. These findings offer a new strategy for designing high-performance self-healing composite materials with significant potential for applications in electronics, aerospace, automotive and wearable devices.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
