How to strengthen 3D-printable elastomers? Most efforts focus on inter-chain interactions. We challenge this by targeting the dangling chain termini group, which unexpectedly enhances entropic elasticity. Please check it out!

Mimicking mussel adhesion, a universal bonding mechanism for fabricating liquid-like surfaces is introduced, utilizing a rationally designed linear polydimethylsiloxane molecule terminated with a catechol group. Please check it out! https://t.co/OuQw0vgZbh

Our recent findings illuminate that tailoring the dynamics of the surface-exposed chains of cross-linked PDMS through the delicate grafting of flexible PDMS molecules endows the polymeric matrix with a remarkable reduction in oil penetration. Check it out!https://t.co/kdTK3gc9b1

Inspired by mucociliary clearance, we propose an active surface sweeper mechanism for directional clearance of bacteria driven by surface acoustic waves. It can prevent secondary surface contamination caused by bacterial backflow. Please check it out! https://t.co/Q807k191qD

Utilizing MD simulations, our findings reveal that droplets on the burgeoning surfaces grafted with flexible PDMS or PFPE brushes can generate wetting ridges. This provides the first molecular-scale evidence of their liquid-like nature. Check it out!https://t.co/1EbrAVyNtA

Is it possible to achieve direct FDM 3D printing of objects with surface microstructures? It could be true. Please check out our recent paper published in Additive Manufacturing for more details. DOI: 10.1016/j.addma.2023.103900

@ZhenqiangS Great working experience with Dr.Shi. Future exciting collaborations are on the way!

Do you know that the disregarded free chains in PDMS elastomer may lead to wrong conclusions when studying bacterial adhesion on its surface? Please check out our latest work! https://t.co/b6DvKxGTQJ #silicone
