Gels and threads: mussel-inspired one-pot route to advanced responsive materials.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An inexpensive one-pot route to self-healing hydrogels with pH-tunable modulus is presented. Hydrogels were formed by reacting tannic acid, trivalent metal ions and polyallylamine. Below pH 8 the hydrogels were supramolecular while above, covalent cross-linking strengthened the hydrogels. From concentrated mixtures, threads were spun, acting as water sensitive mechanical locks.

pH-induced metal-ligand cross-links inspired by mussel yield self-healing polymer networks with near-covalent elastic moduli.
Growing evidence supports a critical role of metal-ligand coordination in many attributes of biological materials including adhesion, self-assembly, toughness, and hardness without mineralization [Rubin DJ, Miserez A, Waite JH (2010) Advances in Insect Physiology: Insect Integument and Color, eds Jérôme C, Stephen JS (Academic Press, London), pp 75-133]. Coordination between Fe and catechol lig...
متن کاملEngineering mechanical dissipation in solid poly ( ethylene glycol ) hydrogels
Growing evidence supports that the unique mechanical behavior of mussel byssal threads, such as high toughness and self-healing, rely on an intricate balance of permanent covalent and reversible metal coordination bonds. Inspired by this material crosslink chemistry balance, we synthesized polyethylene glycol (PEG) hydrogels with two crosslinked networks; a primary permanent network composed of...
متن کاملOne-pot, Environmentally Benign Procedure for the Synthesis of tetrahydrotetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazolines Using [Bmim]Cl/AlCl3 as a Task-specific Ionic Liquid
A practical and green approach for the one-pot multicomponent synthesis of fused tetrazolo[1,5-a]quinazoline derivatives has been described via the condensation of 5- aminotetrazole, dimedone, and various aldehydes using 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrachloroaluminate [bmim]Cl/AlCl3, as a catalyst and task-specific ionic liquid medium. The catalyst was showed remarkable advantages in compariso...
متن کاملSmart nanomaterials inspired by biology: dynamic assembly of error-free nanomaterials in response to multiple chemical and biological stimuli.
Three-dimensional functional nanoscale assembly requires not only self-assembly of individual nanomaterials responsive to external stimuli, such as temperature, light, and concentrations, but also directed assembly of many different nanomaterials in one-pot responsive to multiple internal stimuli signaling the needs for such materials at a specific location and a particular time. The use of fun...
متن کامل2D Porous ZnO Nanosheets: One Pot Synthesis with Low Turn-on Field
Low turn-on field of 2.3 V/µm was found for the emission current density of 10 µA/cm2 from 2D porous ZnO nanosheets. High current density of 0.76 mA/cm2 was drawn at an applied field of 4.1 V/µm. The observed low turn-on field of porous ZnO nanosheets has been found to be superior to the other ZnO nanostructures reported in the literature. Also, the emission current stability over a period of 3...
