Whey Protein Coating Effect on The Oxygen Uptake of Dry Roasted Peanuts

A procedure was developed to coat peanuts with aqueous whey protein isolate (WPI) solutions based on increasing coating-solution viscosity. Oxygen uptake of WPI-coated nuts and uncoated nuts were compared. WPI coatings delayed oxygen uptake of dry roasted peanuts at intermediate (53%) and low (21%) storage relative humidity. They had similar results at 29°C and 37°C. The effects of coating thickness and storage relative humidity indicate that the mechanism of protection of the coatings was through their oxygen barrier properties.

Lithium Phosphonate Functionalized Polymer Coating for High-Energy Li[Ni0.8Co0.1Mn0.1]O2 with Superior Performance at Ambient and Elevated Temperatures

High-energy Ni-rich lithium transition metal oxides such as Li[Ni_0.8Co_0.1Mn_0.1]O₂ (NCM₈₁₁) are appealing positive electrode materials for next-generation lithium batteries. However, the high sensitivity toward moist air during storage and the high reactivity with common organic electrolytes, especially at elevated temperatures, are hindering their commercial use. Herein, an effective strategy is reported to overcome these issues by coating the NCM₈₁₁ particles with a lithium phosphonate functionalized poly(aryl ether sulfone). The application of this coating allows for a substantial reduction of lithium-based surface impurities (e.g., LiOH, Li₂CO₃) and, generally, the suppression of detrimental side reactions upon both storage and cycling. As a result, the coated NCM₈₁₁-based cathodes reveal superior Coulombic efficiency and cycling stability at ambient and, particularly, at elevated temperatures up to 60 ° C (a temperature at which the non-coated NCM₈₁₁ electrodes rapidly fail) owing to the formation of a stable cathode electrolyte interphase with enhanced Li⁺ transport kinetics and the well-retained layered crystal structure. These results render the herein presented coating strategy generally applicable for high-performance lithium battery cathodes.

Investigation of pattern coating on mould roller in roller-reversal imprint process

In order to prepare large area micropatterns with certain profile (certain aspect ratio) on kinds of substrates, especially on flexible substrate, a novel roller-reversal imprint (RRI) process is proposed, which starts with pattern coating of an ink (mostly a liquefied electronics materials, such as a semiconductor polymer) on a mould roller and ends with transferring the ink already patterned on the roller to the substrate. One of the critical challenges in RRI process is ensuring ink pattern coating and full filling to the microcavities on mould roller, which is one of the preconditions to achieve the pattern transferred on substrate with precise profile. In this paper, an ink coating model is established to reveal the ink filling situations versus different profile of microcavities on mould roller. Simulations show that, in the coating process, as the contact angle of ink on mould increasing, three basic filling situations, i.e., full filling, partial filling, and non-filling, will occur. In order to demonstrate the requirement of full filling, critical contact angle for full filling is proposed to distinguish the full filling and partial filling, and it is deeply dependant on the cross-sectional parameters (such as linewidth and the aspect ratio) of microcavities on mould roller. The critical contact angle is the watershed between full filling and partial filling, so it can be used as a guideline to choose the appropriate match between the surface energy of ink and mould to achieve full filling in RRI process. Experiments prove that the ink filling model and its simulation results are basically right, the cross-sectional parameters of microcavities on mould play great important roles to the critical contact angle, and only when the actual contact angle is smaller than the corresponding critical value, full filling can be obtained.     

Adaptive Ionogel Paint from Room-Temperature Autonomous Polymerization of α-Thioctic Acid for Stretchable and Healable Electronics

Development of a universal stretchable ionic conductor coating on insulating substrates, irrespective of surface chemistry and substrate shapes, is of immense interest for compliant and integrative large-area electronics but has proved to be extremely challenging. Existing methods relying either on the concurrent deposition of polymerizing precursors or on divided formulation and painting processes both suffer from several limitations in terms of adhesion, dehydration, processability, and surface pre-treatment. Here an ionogel paint that is readily prepared from the concentration-induced autonomous ring-opening polymerization of a natural small molecule—α-thioctic acid (TA) at ambient conditions is reported. The presence of ionic liquid prevents polyTA from further depolymerization via forming COOH···OS hydrogen bonds, resulting in ultra-stretchable ionogels with widely tunable mechanical and conductive properties, self-healability, as well as tissue-like strain adaptability. Moreover, owing to its universal adhesion and adjustable rheology, the ionogel paint can be directly coated on diverse substrates with arbitrary shapes (including porous materials, 3D printed frames, and elastic threads) to render them ionic conductivity. Applications of the ionogel-coated substrates as skin-like highly sensitive and durable large-strain sensors are further demonstrated, suggesting the ionogel paint's great potential in the emerging soft and stretchable electronics.     

Bioinspired Supramolecular Slippery Organogels for Controlling Pathogen Spread by Respiratory Droplets

Surface-deposited pathogens are sources for the spread of infectious diseases. Protecting public facilities with a replaceable or recyclable antifouling coating is a promising approach to control pathogen transmission. However, most antifouling coatings are less effective in preventing pathogen-contained respiratory droplets because these tiny droplets are difficult to repel, and the deposited pathogens can remain viable from hours to days. Inspired by mucus, an antimicrobial supramolecular organogel for the control of microdroplet-mediated pathogen spread is developed. The developed organogel coating harvests a couple of unique features including localized molecular control-release, readily damage healing, and persistent fouling-release properties, which are preferential for antifouling coating. Microdroplets deposited on the organogel surfaces will be spontaneously wrapped with a thin liquid layer, and will therefore be disinfected rapidly due to a mechanism of spatially enhanced release of bactericidal molecules. Furthermore, the persistent fouling-release and damage-healing properties will significantly extend the life-span of the coating, making it promising for diverse applications.
