Summary: In this study, polyurethane was coated as a coupling agent on the surface of basalt fiber to improve the bonding properties of basalt fiber-reinforced polymer (BFRP) interfaces. The results showed that polyurethane treatment enhanced the interfacial shear stress and tensile properties of BFRP. The surface coating treatment process was found to be important, with the most significant improvement achieved by directly coating the surface of the original basalt fiber. The SEM observation and chemical structural analysis revealed good interfacial adhesion and the introduction of polar functional groups through polyurethane coating treatment. The research demonstrated the feasibility of applying polyurethane directly on basalt fiber to meet the demands of both fiber producers and downstream manufacturers.

Summary: Flexible wearable humidity sensors in healthcare fields have limitations in their development due to most sensors having low visualization with only one electrical response mode. This study proposes a wearable color-electric dual-mode humidity sensor for intimate humidity monitoring. The sensor has fast response and recovery times, wide humidity-monitoring range, small hysteresis, and excellent stability.

Summary: Cellulose-based electrothermal composites have attracted considerable attention from academia and industry due to their versatility, abundance, low cost, and sustainability. In this study, a novel strategy for fabricating flexible, transparent electrothermal heaters was developed using silver nanowire/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) electrothermal composites and a regenerated cellulose matrix. The resulting composite films demonstrated excellent optical transmittance, low sheet resistance, rapid heating response, uniform heat distribution, and structural stability, making them ideal for green, flexible, transparent film heaters.

Summary: In this study, bio-based adsorbents in the form of macroporous sponges were prepared through freeze-drying of a chitosan solution and water hyacinth fiber. The addition of genipin as a crosslinker improved the sponges' resistance to compression, water, and thermal stability. The composite sponges showed excellent adsorption capacities for removing C.I. reactive orange 16 from water, following Freundlich isotherm and pseudo-second-order kinetics models. Furthermore, the sponges could be reused for multiple cycles.

Summary: This paper investigates the fabrication of flexible piezoelectric composite fibers using shape memory polyurethane (SMPU) and lead zirconate titanate (PZT) through melt-spinning technique to overcome the drawbacks of previous stiff piezoelectric fibers. The PZT/SMPU composite fibers with 60% PZT content still achieve a level of 64.56% in shape recovery performance, despite a slight reduction. The composite piezoelectric fabric with 60% PZT content generates an output voltage of 70.72 mV under sinusoidal vibration conditions at 10 μm. The flexibility of the polymer matrix effectively encapsulates the PZT material and converts mechanical energy into electrical energy. Moreover, fabrics woven from PZT/SMPU composite fibers can easily deform into various shapes due to the shape memory effect, making them promising for energy harvesting applications.

Summary: By soaking PCL scaffolds in a PCL solution, the surface properties can be modified to improve early bone formation. In this study, PCL-HAW scaffolds were fabricated using cryogenic extrusion printing and subsequently modified by self-induced crystallisation. The results indicate that the PCL-HAW scaffolds with a layered crystal structure have the potential to stimulate osteogenic precursor cells.

Summary: This research explores plasma treatments as a sustainable solution for addressing fabric fading in the textile industry. By building predictive systems linking plasma parameters to fading results, accurate predictions were achieved. The study found that the GPR model generally outperformed the BRNN model in terms of predictive accuracy, although the difference lessened in the testing set. Both predictive models demonstrated significant performance on unseen datasets, making them suitable for industrial applications.
