Summary: The conductive polymer hydrogel achieved transparent and highly ionically conductive properties through the organic combination of tannic acid-coated hydroxyapatite nanowires (TA@HAP NWs), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) chains, ethylene glycol (EG), and metal ions. It integrates sensing, UV-filtering, water-retaining, and anti-freezing performances, and provides new ideas for the design of novel ionic skin devices. The inclusion of nanowires improves mechanical properties and UV-shielding ability, while the water-locking effect between EG and water molecules allows the hydrogel to exhibit freezing resistance and moisture retention.

Summary: We engineered a three-dimensional charge transfer pathway in NiHCF/MXene through in situ close packing of NiHCF nanoparticles on MXene nano-stacking by electrostatic attraction. Compared to charge transfer mode in two-dimensional nano-sheets, 3D MXene nano-stacking can not only provide horizontal charge transfer pathway alongside nano-sheets, but also possess unique vertical charge transfer pathway between nano-sheets. As a result, the NiHCF/MXene exhibits a superior desalination performance with a high desalination capacity of 30 mg g-1, ultrahigh desalination rate of 9.5 mg g-1 min-1 and good cycling stability over 30 cycles.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
