“…Because of the abundance in nature, easy availability and good degradability, [9][10][11][12][13] sodium alginate is considered as a promising candidate for bioplastic. [14][15][16][17][18][19] In recent years, researches on sodium alginate-based bioplastics have been focused on the addition of various additives (such as cellulose, [20] multi-walled carbon nanotubes [21] ) which may help to improve their mechanical properties or the surface modification (using hydrophobic dodecyltrimethoxysilane, [22] dodecyl glycidyl ether, [23] silica nanoparticles [24] or methyl trimethoxysilane [25] ) which aims to increase its hydrophobicity. In addition, specific molecules have been grafted onto the sodium alginate molecular chain, such as β-carboxyethyl acrylate, acrylamide and ɛ-polylysine, ultimately conferring the sodium alginate with antimicrobial properties.…”

Plastic products are widely used in daily life. However, due to the non‐degradability, these plastics pose a great threat to the ecological environment and may even endanger human's health or animal's life. In this paper, we report a degradable and reusable supramolecular plastic. This plastic consists of FeCl3 and polyethylene glycol (PEG) modified sodium alginate (SA). Notably, this plastic exhibits excellent mechanical properties, i. e. it can withstand a load as heavy as 15 kg. This superior mechanical property originates from the double crosslinked network formed based on coordination interaction between Fe3+ and −COOH and hydrogen bonding among −OH, −COOH and oxygen atom from PEG. In addition, this plastic can be reused for multiple times with negligible change in the mechanical strength and is fully degradable. We thus believe the supramolecular plastic reported in the current study may show great promises in the practical fields.

“…Zhang and Li prepared the carbonaceous intermediates as lubricant additives in a high-energy ball mill, which showed that the ball milling process leads to a decrease in the graphite micro-crystalline size and an increase in inter-layer spacing. Furthermore, interpenetrating network structural composites have been widely used in various fields such as coatings, sealants, adhesives, and so on because of their barrier-free penetration diffusion and outstanding thermal stability. − Therefore, to make full use of the advantages of graphitized carbon and magnetic Fe 3 O 4 , we designed a magnetic nanocomposite with an interpenetrating network structure to resolve the problems of core–shell materials; meanwhile, the nanocomposites are graphitized by the ball milling process for the improvement of the anti-friction and anti-wear properties at high temperatures.…”

Although the core−shell structure magnetic nanocomposites have been widely used as lubricant additives, their tribological properties are still poor under high temperature and high load. Herein, the graphitized C/Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanocomposites (g-C/Fe 3 O 4 ) with an interpenetrating network structure were successfully fabricated by an in situ hydrothermal carbonization method combined with a subsequent ball milling process at room temperature. The results showed that the ball milling process not only promoted the transformation of graphitized carbon but also effectively eliminated the interfacial effect between carbon and Fe 3 O 4 . Moreover, the g-C/Fe 3 O 4 used as a lubricant additive in rapeseed oil exhibited excellent tribological properties and high thermo-stability under 155 °C and 980 N, with the friction coefficient reduced by 32.8% compared to the independent Fe 3 O 4 . The enhanced tribological performance of g-C/Fe 3 O 4 could be attributed to the graphitized carbon and its interpenetrating network structure under low load force (392 N), while under high load force (980 N), it could be ascribed to the synergistic effect between the graphitized carbon and magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles. This work not only offers a method for the synthesis of nanocomposite lubricant additives but also shows great potential in practical applications for hightemperature tribology.

“…The conductivity of carbonaceous composites can be further enhanced through the combination of various filler materials. Previous reports show that the mixture of silver nanoparticles/graphene 15 , silver nanoparticles/CNTs 28 , graphite/CB 29 , graphite/MWCNTs 30 , or CB/CNTs 31–33 led to composites with high conductivities which is attributed to the combination of large and small structures beneficial for creating a large conductive network within the composite. Despite the abundant literature on conductive elastomers, only very few reports exist in which the developed materials were tested in real devices and where their lifetime is evaluated.…”

Conductive inks consisting of graphene and carbon black conductive fillers into a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrix, which can be processed into thin films by screen printing are developed. The influence of filler composition and content on mechanical and electrical properties of the conductive composites is investigated. The best composites were evaluated as electrode material for dielectric elastomer actuators and for piezoelectric sensors. With increasing filler content, the electrical properties of the resulting composites of graphite nanoplates (GNPs) or a binary mixture of GNPs and carbon black (CB) with PDMS (Mw = 139 kg/mol) are enhanced. Hence, PDMS composites filled with GNPs (42 wt.%) or a binary mixture of GNPs/CB (300/150 ratio, 30 wt.% of total filler loading) exhibited constant contact resistance values of 0.5 and 5 Ω determined in life-cycle test, respectively, thus rendering them suitable as electrode materials for piezosensors. On the other hand, dielectric elastomer actuators require more flexible electrode materials, which could be tuned by varying the polymer molecular weight and by reducing the filler content. Therefore, a composite consisting of PDMS (Mw = 692 kg/mol) and a binary filler mixture of GNPs/CB (150/75 ratio, 18 wt.% of total filler loading) was used for producing the electrodes of dielectric elastomer transducers (DETs). The produced DETs with different electrode thicknesses were characterized in terms of their performance. The negligible hysteresis of the electrode materials is favorable for sensor and actuator applications.
