Abstract
Over the past few decades, significant progress in piezo-/triboelectric nanogenerators (PTEGs) has led to the development of cutting-edge wearable technologies. Nanofibers with good designability, controllable morphologies, large specific areas, and unique physicochemical properties provide a promising platform for PTEGs for various advanced applications. However, the further development of nanofiber-based PTEGs is limited by technical difficulties, ranging from materials design to device integration. Herein, the current developments in PTEGs based on electrospun nanofibers are systematically reviewed. This review begins with the mechanisms of PTEGs and the advantages of nanofibers and nanodevices, including high breathability, waterproofness, scalability, and thermal-moisture comfort. In terms of materials and structural design, novel electroactive nanofibers and structure assemblies based on 1D micro/nanostructures, 2D bionic structures, and 3D multilayered structures are discussed. Subsequently, nanofibrous PTEGs in applications such as energy harvesters, personalized medicine, personal protective equipment, and human-machine interactions are summarized. Nanofiber-based PTEGs still face many challenges such as energy efficiency, material durability, device stability, and device integration. Finally, the research gap between research and practical applications of PTEGs is discussed, and emerging trends are proposed, providing some ideas for the development of intelligent wearables.

Abstract
Excessive exudation from the wound site and the difficulty of determining the state of wound healing can make medical management more difficult and, in extreme cases, lead to wound deterioration. In this study, we fabricated a pH-sensitive colorimetric chronic wound dressing with self-pumping function using electrostatic spinning technology. It consisted of three layers: a polylactic acid-curcumin (PCPLLA) hydrophobic layer, a hydrolyzed polyacrylonitrile (HPAN) transfer layer, and a polyacrylonitrile-purple kale anthocyanin (PAN-PCA) hydrophilic layer. The results showed that the preparation of porous PLLA fiber membrane loaded with 0.2 % Cur was achieved by adjusting the spinning-related parameters, which could ensure that the composite dressing had sufficient anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The HPAN membrane treated with alkali for 30 min had significantly enhanced liquid wetting ability, and the unidirectional transport of liquid could be achieved by simple combination with the 20 um PCPLLA fiber membrane. In addition, the 4 % loaded PCA showed more obvious color difference than the colorimetric membrane. In vivo and ex vivo experiments have demonstrated the potential of multifunctional dressings for the treatment of chronic wounds.

Abstract
In chronic wound management, efficacious handling of exudate and bacterial infections stands as a paramount challenge. Here a novel biomimetic fabric, inspired by the natural transpiration mechanisms in plants, is introduced. Uniquely, the fabric combines a commercial polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fabric with asymmetrically grown 1D rutile titanium dioxide (TiO2) micro/nanostructures, emulating critical plant features: hierarchically porous networks and hydrophilic water conduction channels. This structure endows the fabric with exceptional antigravity wicking-evaporation performance, evidenced by a 780% one-way transport capability and a 0.75 g h-1 water evaporation rate, which significantly surpasses that of conventional moisture-wicking textiles. Moreover, the incorporated 1D rutile TiO2 micro/nanostructures present solar-light induced antibacterial activity, crucial for disrupting and eradicating wound biofilms. The biomimetic transpiration fabric is employed to drain exudate and eradicate biofilms in Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus)-infected wounds, demonstrating a much faster infection eradication capability compared to clinically common ciprofloxacin irrigation. These findings illuminate the path for developing high-performance, textile-based wound dressings, offering efficient clinical platforms to combat biofilms associated with chronic wounds.

Abstract
Thermoregulatory textiles, leveraging high-emissivity structural materials, have arisen as a promising candidate for personal cooling management; however, their advancement has been hindered by the underperformed water moisture transportation capacity, which impacts on their thermophysiological comfort. Herein, we designed a wettability-gradient-induced-diode (WGID) membrane achieving by MXene-engineered electrospun technology, which could facilitate heat dissipation and moisture-wicking transportation. As a result, the obtained WGID membrane could obtain a cooling temperature of 1.5 °C in the "dry" state, and 7.1 °C in the "wet" state, which was ascribed to its high emissivity of 96.40% in the MIR range, superior thermal conductivity of 0.3349 W m-1 K-1 (based on radiation- and conduction-controlled mechanisms), and unidirectional moisture transportation property. The proposed design offers an approach for meticulously engineering electrospun membranes with enhanced heat dissipation and moisture transportation, thereby paving the way for developing more efficient and comfortable thermoregulatory textiles in a high-humidity microenvironment.

Abstract
Personal thermal management can effectively manage the skin microenvironment, improve human comfort, and reduce energy consumption. In personal thermal-management technology, owing to the high latent heat of water evaporation in wet-response textiles, heat- and moisture-transfer coexist and interact with each other. In the last few years, with rapid advances in materials science and innovative polymers, humidity-sensitive textiles have been developed for personal thermal management. However, a large gap exists between the conceptual laboratory-scale design and actual textile. Here, moisture-responsive textiles based on flap opening and closing, those based on yarn/fiber deformation, and sweat-evaporation regulation based on textile design for personal thermoregulation are reviewed, and the corresponding mechanisms and research progress are discussed. Finally, the existing engineering and scientific limitations and future developments are considered to resolve the existing issues and accelerate the practical application of moisture-responsive textiles and related technologies.

Abstract
Tea bags have been extensively used in the food industry and daily life as an efficient way to pack tea. However, the large pores of the commercial tea bags not only lead to the inner contents of tea bag susceptible to bacteria and moisture but also result in the faster water infusion which is undesired during tea brewing. In this study, the polylactic acid (PLA)-PLA/sodium alginate (SA)/bromelain (BL) bilayer fiber membrane imitating the asymmetric wetting structure of lotus leaf blades was fabricated to avoid the above disadvantages of commercial tea bag. The PLA/SA/BL skin-core nanofiber membrane which imitating the skin-core structure of lotus leaf stems was first prepared as the hydrophilic and support layer, then a hydrophobic PLA layer was deposited on top via electrospinning. The PLA-PLA/SA/BL bilayer fiber membrane had a breaking strength of 5.5 MPa and started to decompose at 260 °C. Using this bilayer membrane, tea bags were designed with a novel structure where the hydrophobic PLA layer was placed in the same direction. The novel structure endow the those tea bags a slow and directional water transfer property. Therefore, the PLA-PLA/SA/BL bilayer fiber membrane has great potential for applications as tea bags.

Abstract
Acting as a "second skin", clothing plays an indispensable role in providing comfort and protection in the wide range of environments in which we live. However, comfort and protection are often competing requirements and are difficult to improve simultaneously. By mimicking the exceptional thermoresponsive one-way liquid transport property of human skin, here we developed a scalable and ecofriendly skin-like fabric that has a tunable directional water transport rate while having excellent water repellency. The water transport rate is also temperature-responsive, just like skin. As the temperature increases, the wettability gradient in the spatially distributed channels (acting like "sweat glands") increases, promoting sweat transport and evaporative heat dissipation. As the temperature decreases, on the other hand, the wettability gradient diminishes, reducing liquid transport and evaporative heat loss, thereby promoting heat retention. The fabric is highly suitable for sportswear and functional clothing and can have wider applications, such as oil-water separation, fog harvesting, etc.

Abstract
Directional water transport is technologically relevant in separation processes, functional clothing, and other applications. While asymmetric water transport characteristics are a vital feature of leaf cuticles, examples of artificial membranes that display this effect are limited. Here, we report compositionally asymmetric membranes that are based on hydrophobic poly(styrene)-block-poly(butadiene)-block-poly(styrene) (SBS) and hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) nanofibers and display directional water transport when a high relative humidity (RH) gradient is applied. This effect is caused by the asymmetric structure of the membrane and the fact that the water permeability of PVA depends on the water pressure applied and the extent of plasticization that it causes. The transport characteristics can be tuned by varying the composition of the membranes. Such materials with switchable asymmetric water transport may be useful for smart packaging applications in which the take-up or release of water is regulated as needed.

Abstract
Owing to their small fiber diameter (10-15 μm), silk fabrics are always thin (32-90 g m-2). Therefore, construction of the Janus surfaces of silk fabrics that possess excellent multifunctionality remains a formidable challenge. Herein, first, silk fabrics were grafted using glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride to form a superhydrophilic surface (G-side). Then, a unilateral hydrophobic surface (O-side) was readily fabricated by mist coating octadecyltrichlorosilane-functionalized SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) to produce hierarchical surface textures. To prevent NP penetration from the G-side to the O-side, a "fireproof isolation" method was employed. Consequently, Janus silk fabrics (JanSFs) bearing asymmetric wettability were prepared, and their wetting gradient could be conveniently regulated. With the mist time ranging from 4 to 7 min, the unidirectional transport index and efficiency of the unidirectional water transport increased and decreased by 13.2 and 10.4 times, respectively. Sweat could be effectively drained away from human skin to ensure that the skin was dry and comfortable. Compared with the surface temperature of the raw fabric, the raw fabric of JanSFs increased by 2.7 °C. Furthermore, the breathability of JanSF was negligibly affected, and the outer O-side of the JanSF showed substantial antibacterial activity. This study is important for designing JanSFs that exhibit unidirectional water transport.

Abstract
Guided bone regeneration gathers significant interest in the realm of bone tissue engineering; however, the interplay between membrane thickness and permeability continues to pose a challenge that can be addressed by the water-collecting mechanism of spider silk, where water droplets efficiently move from smooth filaments to rough conical nodules. Inspired by the natural design of spider silk, an innovative silk fibroin membrane is developed featuring directional fluid transportation via harmoniously integrating a smooth, dense layer with a rough, loose layer; conical microchannels are engineered in the smooth and compact layer. Consequently, double-layered membranes with cone-shaped microporous passageways (CSMP-DSF membrane) are designed for in situ bone repair. Through extensive in vitro testing, it is noted that the CSMP-DSF membrane guides liquid flow from the compact layer's surface to the loose layer, enabling rapid diffusion. Remarkably, the CSMP-DSF membrane demonstrates superior mechanical properties and resistance to bacterial adhesion. When applied in vivo, the CSMP-DSF membrane achieves results on par with the commercial Bio-Gide collagen membranes. This innovative integration of a cross-thickness wetting gradient structure offers a novel solution, harmonizing the often-conflicting requirements of material transport, mechanical strength, and barrier effectiveness, while also addressing issues related to tissue engineering scaffold perfusion.

Abstract
Currently, designing smart membranes with multifunctional effectiveness is crucial to food freshness monitoring and retention. Herein, an active colorimetric Janus bilayer membrane with directional water transport (DWT) performance is constructed by electrospinning, which comprises a hydrophilic layer of silk fibroin-bayberry anthocyanins (SF-BAs) and a hydrophobic layer of polycaprolactone-eucalyptus oil (PCL-EO). The entities of BAs and EO are well dispersed in the fiber matrix by hydrogen bonds and physical interactions, respectively. BAs endow the membrane colorimetric response and antioxidant activity, and EO contributes to the antibacterial activity while DWT performance is generated from the asymmetric wettability of the two layers. The bilayer membrane has an accumulative one-way transport index of 1077%, an overall moisture management capacity of 0.76 and a water evaporation rate of 0.48 g h-1. Moreover, the release of BAs and EO was predominantly controlled by Fickian diffusion. As a pH-sensing indicator, PCL-EO@SF-BAs is highly sensitive to external pH stimuli and the response is reversible. In addition to freshness monitoring, PCL-EO@SF-BAs can extend the shelf-life of pork beyond 100% at 4 °C. Also, it can extend the shelf life of shrimp by approximately 70% at 25 °C with the synergistic effect of antibacterial activity and the DWT performance.

Abstract
Directional sweat-wicking by Janus fabrics has gained substantial attention in promoting personal wet-thermal management for optimal human comfort. During intense physical exercise, excessive sweating can cause the flooding of fabrics and weaken their wicking capabilities once the inner capillary channels are saturated. To address this issue, we develop a photothermal Janus fabric through a facile polydopamine (PDA) deposition followed by single-sided spray-coating of hydrophobic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). Such innovative fabrics enable directional sweat-wicking through a Janus structure and persistent removal of excessive sweat by solar-powered evaporation. Under sunlight, our photothermal Janus fabrics exhibit an enhanced evaporation rate, approximately twice compared with that of conventional Janus fabrics (∼1.143 ± 0.027 kg m-2h-1), making them suitable for high sweating rates during vigorous exercise. Furthermore, these fabrics help to maintain the skin temperature within the normal range, preventing hypothermia caused by profuse sweating. In addition, our photothermal Janus fabrics exhibit excellent washing durability even after multiple washing cycles, ensuring prolonged performance and safety.

Abstract
Despite the development of many functional fabrics, they are unable to meet practical needs due to their monolithic functions and low durability. Therefore, a multifunctional waterborne polyurethane nanodroplet containing disulfide bonds (WSPU) was synthesized using a simple and environmentally friendly approach. The functional WSPU nanodroplet coating endowed fabrics with a variety of properties, including exceptional hydrophobicity, antibacterial properties, self-healing at room temperature, directional transport, etc. The functionalized fabric demonstrated durable mechanical and chemical stabilities due to the combined effects of disulfide bond reconstruction and hydrophobic chain migration. It exhibited the ability to regain its hydrophobic properties at room temperature after 50 friction cycles were performed without requiring external stimulation. Furthermore, the fabric maintained a water contact angle above 140°, even after being subjected to washing, boiling, and immersion in acid and alkali solutions. In addition, as a result of the fabric's Janus-like wettability, it performed various functions in accordance with varying weather conditions, in terms of wearing comfort and breathability. In hot weather or during exercise, the Janus fabric with the hydrophilic side facing outward enhances the process of sweat-directed perspiration, resulting in a notable cooling effect. On rainy days, the Janus fabric, when positioned with the hydrophobic side facing outward, exhibited excellent waterproof performance. This study presents an opportunity to explore the development of multifunctional fabrics through the combined effects of several functions.

Abstract
The wettabilities of nanoscale porous surfaces play important roles in the context of molecular and fluid transport or oil-water separation. The wettability pattern along a nanopore strongly influences fluid distribution throughout the membrane. Mesoporous silica thin films with gradually adjusted wettabilities were fabricated via cocondensation. With consecutive mesoporous layer depositions, double-layer mesoporous silica films with asymmetric or so-called Janus wettability patterns were generated. The effects of these wetting gradients on mass transport, water imbibition, and water vapor condensation were investigated with ellipsometry, cyclic voltammetry (CV), drop friction force instrument (DoFFIs), fluorescence microscopy and interferometry. By increasing the film thickness of the hydrophobic mesoporous silica top layer deposited on a hydrophilic mesoporous silica layer up to 205 nm, molecular transport through both the layers was prevented. However, water was observed to condense onto the bottom layer, and transport occurred for thinner top layers.

Abstract
As more eco-friendly and economical choice for wet facial masks, dry facial masks have always had the problem of cumbersome application process and poor water retention property. In this study, based on the mechanism of directional water transport of Janus membrane and plant transpiration, the hydrophobic polylactic acid (PLA) nanofiber layer and the superhydrophilic guar gum (GG) nanofiber layer were prepared on both sides of the silk facial mask (SM) by electrospinning to obtain the guar gum-based bionic Janus directional water transport facial mask (G-DFM). The results showed that the directional water transport function improved the facial mask's water retention by 37 %, and the nicotinamide (NAM) encapsulated in the GG layer gave the facial mask excellent whitening and antibacterial properties. The GG layer could be directed to swell after absorbing water to form the "gel-like", which ensured that the G-DFM could continue to release NAM during its work and would enhance the attachment between the G-DFM and the skin. G-DFM not only retained the advantages of SM but also expanded the functions that SM did not have, providing an idea for designing more practical and ideal facial masks in the future.

Abstract
Janus fabrics with moisture management ability have great potential for improving both physiological and psychological comfort of human body. However, current methods for creating Janus fabrics are typically complex, environmentally unfriendly, and costly. More importantly, the prepared Janus fabrics have demonstrated insufficient mechanical properties and poor fastness, rendering them unsuitable for practical applications. Here, this work proposes a method for constructing Janus fabrics through thermal transfer printing of hydrophobic transfer prints onto a superhydrophilic cotton fabric, followed by creation of a conical micropore array on the fabric surface. The as-prepared Janus fabrics exhibit excellent unidirectional liquid transport capacity, capable of transporting 50 µL water completely in 11.6 s in the positive direction. Attributed to the durable property of the transfer prints, the Janus fabrics are capable of withstanding over 900 friction cycles and 250 home laundry cycles, which is a great advance in this research field. Additionally, the fabrication process has no detrimental effect on the fabric's breathability, elasticity, and flexibility. Furthermore, the Janus fabric can maintain human body temperature 3.6 °C cooler than that worn with cotton fabric. The fabrication method can provide useful insights for the design and creation of durable Janus fabrics to maximize personal comfort.

Abstract
In a human skin-fibrous fabric-external environment, fibrous materials, as the "second skin" of the human body, provide comfort against the wet and heat effectively. Fibrous materials protect human health and guarantee work efficiency in various outdoor or inner scenes. Personal wet-thermal management based on fibrous materials can regulate comfort in a facile manner with low or zero energy consumption, which has become a potential development area. However, realizing synergistic management of the wet and heat effectively and conveniently is a challenge in the development and production of fibrous materials. We designed and fabricated a Janus fibrous membrane composed of 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate (TMSPMA)-modified hydrophobic cotton gauze and electrospun carbon nanotubes (CNTs)-doped cellulose acetate (CA) hydrophilic fibrous membrane. Taking advantage of asymmetric wettability along its thickness direction, the Janus fibrous membrane, acting as a "liquid diode", could transport sweat/moisture from human skin to the external environment unidirectionally, which endowed a dry surface on human skin, avoiding "stickiness", and realizing wet management. Doped CNTs had good photothermal-conversion capacity, so the Janus membrane exhibited excellent heating capacity for passive radiation, so excellent synergistic wet-thermal management was obtained. The Janus membrane could be a candidate for diverse applications of fibrous membranes. Our data provide new ideas for the design and fabrication of fibrous membranes with remarkable wet-thermal management.

Abstract
Demulsification using membranes is a promising method to coalesce highly stable emulsified oil droplets for oil recovery. Nevertheless, a structure of the current filtration medium that is not efficient for oil droplet coalescence impedes rapid permeability, thereby inevitably restricting their practical applications. Herein, we report a hydrophobic-hydrophilic-hydrophobic (3H) demulsification medium that exhibits a benchmark permeability of ∼2.1 × 104 L m-2 h-1 with a demulsification efficiency of >98.0%. Remarkably, this 3H demulsification medium maintains over 90% demulsification efficiency in the oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions with a wide range of surfactant concentrations, which shows excellent applicability. Based on the combined results of quasi situ microscope images and molecular dynamics simulations, we show that the polydimethylsiloxane-modified hydrophobic layer facilitates the capture and coalescence of oil droplets, the hydrophilic inner layer assists in squeezing the coalescence of enlarged droplets, and the third hydrophobic layer accelerates the discharge of demulsified oil to sustain permeability. The sequential demulsification mechanism between this 3H filtration layer provides a general guide for designing a demulsifying membrane with high demulsification efficiency and high flux toward oil recovery.

Abstract
Electrospinning technology has attracted extensive attention in recent decades and is widely used to prepare nanofiber membranes from hundreds of polymers. Polyvinyl formal acetal (PVFA), as a polymer with excellent properties such as high strength and heat resistance, is not reported on the electrospun water treatment membrane. In this paper, the preparation process of electrospun PVFA nanofiber membrane is optimized, and the effect of sodium chloride (NaCl) addition on the physical and mechanical properties and microfiltration performance of nanofiber membrane is also explored. And the hydrophobic PVFA nanofiber filter layer is then combined with a hydrophilic nonwoven support layer to construct a composite micro/nanofiber membrane with a pore-size gradient structure and a hydrophilic/hydrophobic asymmetric structure. Finally, unidirectional water transport and water treatment performance are further investigated. The results show that the tensile breaking strength of the composite membrane can reach up to 37.8 MPa, the retention rate for particles with the size of 0.1-0.3 µm is 99.7%, and the water flux is 513.4 L m-2 h-1 under the hydrostatic pressure. Moreover, it still has a retention of more than 98% after three repeated uses. Therefore, the electrospun PVFA composite membrane has a great potential in microfiltration.

Abstract
Sportswear worn next to the skin is easily soaked by sweat and may become a breeding ground for the microbiome, thus a source of malodor. Malodor can cause social embarrassment and discomfort to both wearer and others. Given the risks current deodorant products pose to nature and human life, the development of sustainable textiles for odor control comes to the forefront. This review introduces the odor-generating mechanism in clothing from the perspectives of perspiration composition and cutaneous microbiome. With the knowledge of the significant role of sweat in odor formation, the sweat distribution of the human body, measurement techniques, and advanced technologies developed for quick-dry function are presented in the second part. Lastly, odor management in sportswear is evaluated, covering the odor-assessing techniques, the effects of various textile materials, and emerging solutions in terms of antibacterial treatment, adsorbent materials, and photocatalytic degradations of odorous compounds. Overall, it is of both personal and social value to develop novel textile materials with odor-control functions by making use of natural materials and fabric designs.

Abstract
Wound healing has grown to be a significant problem at a global scale. The lack of multifunctionality in most wound dressing-based biopolymers prevents them from meeting all clinical requirements. Therefore, a multifunctional biopolymer-based tri-layered hierarchically nanofibrous scaffold in wound dressing can contribute to skin regeneration. In this study, a multifunctional antibacterial biopolymer-based tri-layered hierarchically nanofibrous scaffold comprising three layers was constructed. The bottom and the top layers contain hydrophilic silk fibroin (SF) and fish skin collagen (COL), respectively, for accelerated healing, interspersed with a middle layer of hydrophobic poly-3-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) containing amoxicillin (AMX) as an antibacterial drug. The advantageous physicochemical properties of the nanofibrous scaffold were estimated by SEM, FTIR, fluid uptake, contact angle, porosity, and mechanical properties. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity and cell healing were assessed by MTT assay and the cell scratching method, respectively, and revealed excellent biocompatibility. The nanofibrous scaffold exhibited significant antimicrobial activity against multiple pathogenic bacteria. Furthermore, the in vivo wound healing and histological studies demonstrated complete wound healing in wounded rats on day 14, along with an increase in the expression level of the transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) and a decrease in the expression level of interleukin-6 (IL-6). The results revealed that the fabricated nanofibrous scaffold is a potent wound dressing scaffold, and significantly accelerates full-thickness wound healing in a rat model.

Abstract
Simple and green strategy was described for the development of multifunctional polyester nanofibers (PNFs). Solution blow spinning (SBS) technology was applied to in situ immobilize nanocomposites of polyaniline (PANi) and silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) into plasma-treated polyester nanoscaled fibers prepared. The polyester nanofibers were prepared from recycled polyethylene terephthalate waste, which was exposed plasma-curing and a REDOX reaction in the presence of AgNO3, aniline, and CH3COONH4. Plasma-catalyzed oxidative polymerization of aniline to polyaniline together with a reductive process of Ag+ to silver nanoparticles led to their enduring insoluble dispersion into the surface of polyester nanofibers. By taking the advantage of the PANi oxidation, AgNPs were precipitated from an aqueous medium of AgNPs. The morphological properties were investigated by various analytical techniques. The polyester fiber diameter was determined in the range of 450-650 nm. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to examine AgNPs, demonstrating diameters of 4-20 nm. The plasma-uncured AgNPs/PANi immobilized nanofibrous film displayed weak absorption bands at 399 nm and 403 nm upon increasing the concentration of AgNPs. On the other hand, the plasma-cured AgNPs/PANi immobilized nanofibers displayed strong absorption bands at 526 nm and 568 nm upon increasing the concentration of AgNPs. The AgNP-induced antimicrobial performance and the PANi-induced electrically conductivity were explored. The prepared PNFs showed high UV protection.

Abstract
Functional textiles with high-performance directional water transport for regulating human sweat are in high demand because of growing concerns about the role of comfort in the performance of wearer. However, the fabrication of such materials remains a critical job. Here, we report a facile strategy to develop hydrophilic oriented polyacrylonitrile (HOPAN)/hydrophilic polylactic acid @polyvinylidene fluoride (HPLA@PVDF) composite membrane with surface energy gradient for enhanced directional water transport. Three step fabrication strategy involves electrospinning of oriented polyacrylonitrile (OPAN fibers) on polylactic acid (PLA) nonwoven surface followed by dip-coating in hydrophilic agent, and single-side electrospray of PVDF dilute solution on HOPAN/HPLA. Combination of highly oriented fiber structure, differential pore size and asymmetric wettability between two layers enabled instant water transport. The resultant fabricated composite membranes offer superior properties with one-way transport capacity (R) of 1117%, overall moisture management capacity (OMMC) of 0.91, and excellent water vapor transmission rate of 11.6 kg m-2 d-1. The successful preparation of these fascinating directional water transport materials offers new insight into the role of fiber alignment along with differential apertures and asymmetric chemical structure for realizing membranes for quick-drying applications.

Abstract
The membrane-based liquid desiccant dehumidification system is a newly developed method in the field of air dehumidification. In this study, double-layer nanofibrous membranes (DLNMs) with directional vapor transport and water repellency for liquid dehumidification were fabricated by a simple electrospinning process. Specifically, the combination of thermoplastic polyurethane nanofibrous membrane and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) nanofibrous membrane forms a cone-like structure in DLNMs, resulting in directional vapor transportation. The nanoporous structure and rough surface of PVDF nanofibrous membrane provide waterproof performance for DLNMs. Compare with the commercial membranes, the proposed DLNMs have a significantly higher water vapor permeability coefficient, which is as high as 539.67 g·μm m-2·24 h·Pa. This study not only provides a new route to construct a directional vapor transport and waterproof membrane, but also demonstrates the huge application prospect of the nanofibrous membrane formed by electrospinning in the field of solution dehumidification.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex project, and effectively promoting skin repair is a huge clinical challenge. Hydrogels have great prospect in the field of wound dressings because their physical properties are very similar to those of living tissue and have excellent properties such as high water content, oxygen permeability and softness. However, the single performance of traditional hydrogels limits their application as wound dressings. Therefore, natural polymers such as chitosan, alginate and hyaluronic acid, which are non-toxic and biocompatible, are individually or combined with other polymer materials, and loaded with typical drugs, bioactive molecules or nanomaterials. Then, the development of novel multifunctional hydrogel dressings with good antibacterial, self-healing, injectable and multi-stimulation responsiveness by using advanced technologies such as 3D printing, electrospinning and stem cell therapy has become a hot topic of current research. This paper focuses on the functional properties of novel multifunctional hydrogel dressings such as chitosan, alginate and hyaluronic acid, which lays the foundation for the research of novel hydrogel dressings with better performance.

Abstract
Functionalized textiles with biofluid management capability have attracted tremendous attention in recent years due to their significant roles in health monitoring and dehydration prevention. Here we propose a one-way colorimetric sweat sampling and sensing system based on a Janus fabric using interfacial modification techniques. The opposite wettability of Janus fabric enables sweat to be quickly moved from the skin surface to the hydrophilic side and colorimetric patches. The unidirectional sweat-wicking performance of Janus fabric not only facilitates adequate sweat sampling but also inhibits the backflow of hydrated colorimetric regent from the assay patch toward the skin, eliminating potential epidermal contaminations. On this basis, visual and portable detection of sweat biomarkers including chloride, pH, and urea is also achieved. The results show that the true concentrations of chloride, pH, and urea in sweat are ∼10 mM, ∼7.2, and ∼10 mM, respectively. The detection limits of chloride and urea are 1.06 mM and 3.05 mM. This work bridges the gap between sweat sampling and a friendly epidermal microenvironment, providing a promising way for multifunctional textiles.

Abstract
Manipulating fluid with an open channel provides a promising strategy to simplify the current systems. Nevertheless, spontaneous on-surface fluid transport with large flux, high speed, and long distance remains challenging. Inspired by scallop shells, here a shell-like superhydrophilic origami (S-SLO) with multiple-paratactic and dual-asymmetric channels is presented to improve fluid collection. The origami channel can capture various types of liquids, including droplets, flow, and steam, and then transport collected liquid unidirectionally. The S-SLO with 2 mm depth can reach maximum flux of 450 mL h-1 , which is five times the capacity of a flat patterned surface with similar dimension. To diversify the function of such interface, the SLO is further integrated with a superhydrophobic zirconium carbide/silicone coating for enhanced condensation via the collaboration of directional fluid manipulation and a radiative cooling layer. Compared with the unmodified parallel origami, the shell-like origami with a radiative cooling layer shows a 56% improvement in condensate efficiency as well as the directional liquid drainage. This work demonstrates a more accessible design for the optimization of on-surface fluid control, and the improved performance of liquid transport should extend the applications of bioinspired fluid-manipulating interfaces.

Abstract
To coordinate the trade-off between the separation and permeation of the nanofiltration membrane for the separation of Mg2+/Li+, we regulated poly(ethyleneimine)/piperazine interface polymerization parameters to construct a positively/negatively charged ultrathin Janus nanofiltration membrane at a free aqueous-organic interface. At the optimized interfacial polymerization parameters, 0.03 wt % of piperazine reacted with trimethylbenzene chloride prior to poly(ethyleneimine), forming a primary polyamide layer with fewer defects or limiting large-scale defects of the polyamide layer. The controlled subsequent reaction of poly(ethyleneimine) and trimethylbenzene chloride results in a Janus nanofiltration membrane, with one side enriched with the carboxyl groups, the other side enriched with the amine groups, and a dense polyamide structure in the middle. Under the optimum conditions, the positive potential of the rear surface of the prepared membrane was 14.57 mV, and the water contact angle reached 71.31°, while the negative potential of the front surface was -25.48 mV, and the water contact angle was 12.93°, confirming a Janus membrane with opposite charges and large hydrophilicity differences in the front and rear surfaces. With a high cross-linking degree, a 40 nm thick polyamide layer is 29.09% more thinner than the traditional polyamide membrane. The ultrathin Janus nanofiltration membrane showed an excellent separation factor (SLi,Mg of 18.26), stability, and water permeability flux (10.6 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1). The rejections to MgCl2, CaCl2, MgSO4, and Na2SO4 are measured above 90% at a nearly constant permeability of 10.6 L·m-2·h-1·bar-1, particularly stable rejections to MgCl2 and Na2SO4.

Abstract
In this study, cellulose nanocrystals hollow microspheres (HMs) were fabricated through Pickering emulsion polymerization, in which hydrophobically modified cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) acted as Pickering stabilizers. The hollow interior core was prepared by solvent evaporation. This manuscript describes the synthesis of HMs in detail. The hollow structure and nanoscale size of HMs were verified using TEM. The resultant HMs could easily coat self-forming films on the surface of PET fabrics. Additionally, these coatings exhibited superior breathability and moisture permeability properties with a high one-way transport index of 936.33% and a desirable overall moisture management capability of 0.72. Cellulose nanocrystal hollow microsphere coatings could be used as a moisture-wicking functionality agent for finishing fabrics, oil-water separation, and fog harvesting.

Abstract
Separation of plasma which is full of various biomarkers is critical for clinical diagnosis. However, the point-of-care plasma separation often relies on microfluidic filtration membranes which are usually limited in purity, yield, hemolysis, extraction speed, hematocrit level, and protein recovery. Here, we have developed a high-performance plasma membrane separation technique based on a Janus membrane and red blood cell (RBC) agglutination reaction. The RBC agglutination reaction can form larger RBC aggregates to separate plasma from blood cells. Then, the Janus membrane, serving as a multipore microfilter to block large RBC aggregates, allows the plasma to flow from the hydrophobic side to its hydrophilic side spontaneously. As a result, the separation technique can extract highly-purified plasma (99.99%) from whole blood with an ultra-high plasma yield (∼80%) in ∼80 s. Additionally, the separation technique is independent of the hematocrit level and can avoid hemolysis.

Abstract
One-way water transport is a predominant feature of comfortable textiles used in daily life. However, shortcomings related to the textiles include their poor breathability and durability. In this study, low-cost and eco-friendly PLA/low-melt (polylactic acid) LMPLA-thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) membranes were fabricated through a needle punch/hot press and electrospinning method. The micro-/nano-channels, used for the first time, endowed the composite membranes with robust, breathable, moisture-permeable, and abrasion-resistant performance. By varying the nano- layer thickness, the resulting 16-40 μm membranes exhibited excellent one-way water transport, robust breathability and moisture permeability, and good abrasion resistance. Nano-layer thickness was found to be a critical performance factor, balancing comfort and protection. These results may be useful for developing low-cost, eco-friendly, and versatile protective products for medical application.

Abstract
The controlled transport of liquid on a smart material surface has important applications in the fields of microreactors, mass and heat transfer, water collection, microfluidic devices and so on. Porous membranes with special wettability have attracted extensive attention due to their unique unidirectional transport behavior, that is, liquid can easily penetrate in one direction while reverse transport is prevented, which shows great potential in functional textiles, fog collection, oil/water separation, sensors, etc. However, many porous membranes are synthesized from multilayer structural materials with poor mechanical properties and are currently prone to delamination, which limits their stability. While a monolayered porous membrane, especially for gradient structure, is an efficient, stable and durable material owing to its good durability and difficult stratification. Therefore, it is of great significance to fabricate a monolayered porous membrane for controllable liquid manipulation. In this minireview, we briefly introduce the classification and fabrication of typical monolayered porous membranes. And the applications of monolayered porous membranes in unidirectional penetration, selective separation and intelligent response are further emphasized and discussed. Finally, the controllable preparation and potential applications of porous membranes are featured and their prospects discussed on the basis of their current development.

Abstract
Due to abdominal infection, excessive wound exudation, and intestinal fistula formation, the treatment of full-thickness abdominal wall defects has become a difficult challenge for clinic doctors. This clinical problem cannot be resolved with existing biomaterials. To facilitate the repair of the abdominal wall, we developed a novel wound dressing with directional biofluid transport. We used electrospinning to spin a trilayer dressing consisting of hydrolyzed poly-acrylonitrile (HPAN)/Curcumin (CUR), polyurethane (PU), and polycaprolactone (PCL). In vitro results show that the three-layer wound dressing is biocompatible, capable of directional transport of excessive wound exudation, preventing reverse penetration, and monitoring the pH of the wound. Furthermore, in vivo results show the trilayer wound dressing improves the wound microenvironment, reduces inflammatory factors, promotes angiogenesis, and accelerates abdominal wall repair. Thus, we believe that the novel trilayer electrospinning dressing could facilitate abdominal wall defect repair.

Abstract
The wetting behavior of fiber networks, which are central to many research and industrial applications, can be difficult to predict accurately owing to their complex, heterogeneous structure. The cylindrical pore model, widely used to interpret and predict the forced wetting of hydrophobic porous materials, often does not yield correct results when working with fibrous networks like paper substrates and non-woven fabrics. This is because these materials exhibit variation in pore size, fiber length, and fiber diameter, as well as a reentrant pore geometry. Quantitative prediction of the critical wetting resistance of hydrophobized papers to arbitrary entrant liquids requires a more sophisticated analytical approach that considers this unique fibrous structure and the effect of stochastic variations within the pore matrix. In this work, we directly measure the critical breakthrough pressure for different porous substrates across various wetting entrant liquids. To isolate the effects of the structure and stochastics on critical wetting behavior of fibrous networks, we analyze additional materials strategically chosen for their subsets of structural features. Ultimately, we formulate a method that demonstrates physical reasonableness, numerical accuracy, and the ability to elucidate the effects of pore size, pore size distribution, fiber diameter, fiber diameter distribution, surface wettability, and liquid surface tension on critical breakthrough pressure of liquids through hydrophobic fibrous networks.

Abstract
Optimizing the water bonding network in an evaporator is significant for efficient solar-driven vapor generation (SVG). Herein, we report a facile one-pot method to regulate the hydrated structure and wettability in a hierarchical porous hydrogel. An ovalbumin (OVA)-polyacrylamide hydrogel foam was fabricated in a cake-making fashion. Because of the enrichment of amphiphilic OVA at the interface, the hydrophobic walls of the air pores in the foam provide vaporization sites and help reduce parasitic heat loss, while the hydrophilic skeleton with the secondary pores effectively pumps capillary water. Notably, the proportion of intermediate water in the foam reaches 87.6% with the melting point as low as -10 °C. All these features contribute to an exceptional evaporation rate of 3.4-4.5 kg m-2 h-1 under 1 sun and robust SVG performances at high-humidity, weak sunlight, or cold weathers. The strategy of using amphiphilic molecules to optimize the hydrated structures both at the interface and in bulk promises the reasonable design of SVG materials with superior efficiency and weather adaptability.
