Abstract
Currently, research on thermal interface materials (TIMs) is primarily focused on enhancing thermal conductivity. However, strong adhesion and multifunctionality are also important characteristics for TIMs when pursing more stable interface heat conduction. Herein, a novel poly(urethane-urea-imide) (PUUI) elastomer containing abundant dynamic hydrogen bonds network and reversible disulfide linkages is successfully synthesized for application as a TIM matrix. The PUUI can self-adapt to the metal substrate surface at moderate temperatures (80 °C) and demonstrates a high adhesion strength of up to 7.39 MPa on aluminum substrates attributed its noncovalent interactions and strong intrinsic cohesion. Additionally, the PUUI displays efficient self-healing capability, which can restore 94% of its original mechanical properties after self-healing for 6 h at room temperature. Furthermore, PUUI composited with aluminum nitride and liquid metal hybrid fillers demonstrates a high thermal conductivity of 3.87 W m-1 K-1 while maintaining remarkable self-healing capability and adhesion. When used as an adhesive-type TIM, it achieves a low thermal contact resistance of 22.1 mm2 K W-1 at zero pressure, only 16.7% of that of commercial thermal pads. This study is expected to break the current research paradigm of TIMs and offers new insights for the development of advanced, reliable, and sustainable TIMs.

Abstract
Organic coatings are one of the most popular and powerful strategies for protecting metals against corrosion. They can be applied in different ways, such as by dipping, spraying, electrophoresis, casting, painting, or flow coating. They offer great flexibility of material designs and cost effectiveness. Moreover, self-healing has evolved as a new research topic for protective organic coatings in the last two decades. Responsive materials play a crucial role in this new research field. However, for targeting the development of high-performance self-healing coatings for corrosion protection, it is not sufficient just to focus on smart responsive materials and suitable active agents for self-healing. A better understanding of how coatings can react on different stimuli induced by corrosion, how these stimuli can spread in the coating, and how the released agents can reach the corroding defect is also of high importance. Such knowledge would allow the design of coatings that are optimized for specific applications. Herein, the requirements and possibilities from the corrosion and synthesis perspectives for designing materials for preparing self-healing coatings for corrosion protection are discussed.

Abstract
High performance has always been the research focus of elastomers. However, there are inherent conflicts among properties of elastomers, such as strength and toughness, strength and damping performance, strength and self-healing ability, etc. Herein, first, we synthesized a unique structure of the dangling chain containing proton donors and receptors. Then, we design and fabricate a kind of high-performance elastomer with a gradient distribution of a dangling chain and a dynamic bond structure. The dangling chains of different lengths intertwine with each other and self-assemble to form a "dense accumulation" structure driven by hydrogen bonds, and the elastomer exhibits special micro/nano scale aggregated states and microphase separation. The "dense accumulation" structure plays a vital role in the increase of mechanical properties. Meanwhile, under the joint action of a dangling chain and a dynamic bond, the damping performance and self-healing performance of the elastomer are greatly enhanced. High strength (27.5 MPa), toughness (121.9 MJ·m-3), 94.8% healing efficiency and outstanding damping performance (tan δ ≥ 0.4, high damping temperature range up to 144 °C) are simultaneously achieved beyond the current state-of-the-art. This topoarchitected polymer with a gradient distribution of dangling chains successfully solves the defects of conventional branched polymers in deteriorating their mechanical properties. This material design provides a new strategy for the development of high-performance structural and functional integrated elastomers.

Abstract
As the focus of architecture, furniture, and other fields, wood has attracted extensive attention for its many advantages, such as environmental friendliness and excellent mechanical properties. Inspired by the wetting model of natural lotus leaves, researchers prepared superhydrophobic coatings with strong mechanical properties and good durability on the modified wood surface. The prepared superhydrophobic coating has achieved functions such as oil-water separation and self-cleaning. At present, some methods such as the sol-gel method, the etching method, graft copolymerization, and the layer-by-layer self-assembly method can be used to prepare superhydrophobic surfaces, which are widely used in biology, the textile industry, national defense, the military industry, and many other fields. However, most methods for preparing superhydrophobic coatings on wood surfaces are limited by reaction conditions and process control, with low coating preparation efficiency and insufficiently fine nanostructures. The sol-gel process is suitable for large-scale industrial production due to its simple preparation method, easy process control, and low cost. In this paper, the research progress on wood superhydrophobic coatings is summarized. Taking the sol-gel method with silicide as an example, the preparation methods of superhydrophobic coatings on wood surfaces under different acid-base catalysis processes are discussed in detail. The latest progress in the preparation of superhydrophobic coatings by the sol-gel method at home and abroad is reviewed, and the future development of superhydrophobic surfaces is prospected.

Superhydrophobic substances were favored in wood protection. Superhydrophobic treatment of wood is of great significance for improving the service life of wood and expanding its application fields, such as improving dimensional stability, durability, UV stability, and reducing wetting.

This is the common method for obtaining superhydrophobic wood. The article introduces the common preparation methods of superhydrophobic wood material coatings and their mechanisms. These techniques include lithography, sol–gel methods, graft copolymerization, chemical vapor deposition, etc. The latest research progress of superhydrophobic wood material coatings application at domestic and overseas is reviewed, and the current status of superhydrophobic coating application in wood materials and construction is summarized. Finally, superhydrophobic on wood in the field of applied research is presented, and the development trend in the field of functional improvement of wood is foreseen.

Abstract
Mechanical properties and reprocessing properties are of great significance to the serviceability and recyclability of energetic composites. However, the mechanical robustness of mechanical properties and dynamic adaptability related to reprocessing properties are inherent contradictions, which are difficult to optimize at the same time. This paper proposed a novel molecular strategy. Multiple hydrogen bonds derived from acyl semicarbazides could construct dense hydrogen bonding arrays, strengthening physical cross-linking networks. The zigzag structure was used to break the regular arrangement formed by the tight hydrogen bonding arrays, so as to improve the dynamic adaptability of the polymer networks. The disulfide exchange reaction further excited the polymer chains to form a new "topological entanglement", thus improving the reprocessing performance. The designed binder (D2000-ADH-SS) and nano-Al were prepared as energetic composites. Compared with the commercial binder, D2000-ADH-SS simultaneously optimized the strength and toughness of energetic composites. Due to the excellent dynamic adaptability of the binder, the tensile strength and toughness of the energetic composites still maintained the initial values, 96.69% and 92.89%, respectively, even after three hot-pressing cycles. The proposed design strategy provides ideas for the design and preparation of recyclable composites and is expected to promote the future application in energetic composites.

Abstract
The broad application potential of superhydrophobic coatings is limited by the usage of environment-threatening materials and poor durability. The nature-inspired design and fabrication of self-healing coatings is a promising approach for addressing these issues. In this study, we report a fluorine-free and biocompatible superhydrophobic coating that can be thermally healed after abrasion. The coating is composed of silica nanoparticles and carnauba wax, and the self-healing is based on surface enrichment of wax in analogy to the wax secretion in plant leaves. The coating not only exhibits fast self-healing, just in 1 min under moderate heating, but also displays increased water repellency and thermal stability after healing. The rapid self-healing ability of the coating is attributed to the relatively low melting point of carnauba wax and its migration to the surface of the hydrophilic silica nanoparticles. The dependence of self-healing on the size and loading of particles provides insights into the process. Furthermore, the coating exhibits high levels of biocompatibility where the viability of fibroblast L929 cells was ∼90%. The presented approach and insights provide valuable guidelines in the design and fabrication of self-healing superhydrophobic coatings.

Abstract
Liquid-repellent coatings with rapid self-healing and strong substrate adhesion have tremendous potential for industrial applications, but their formulation is challenging. We exploit synergistic chemistry between donor-acceptor self-assembly units of polyurethane and hydrophobic metal-organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles to overcome this challenge. The nanocomposite features a nanohierarchical morphology with excellent liquid repellence. Using polyurethane as a base polymer, the incorporated donor-acceptor self-assembly enables high strength, excellent self-healing property, and strong adhesion strength on multiple substrates. The interaction mechanism of donor-acceptor self-assembly was revealed via density functional theory and infrared spectroscopy. The superhydrophobicity of polyurethane was achieved by introducing alkyl-functionalized MOF nanoparticles and post-application silanization. The combination of the self-healing polymer and nanohierarchical MOF nanoparticles results in self-cleaning capability, resistance to tape peel and high-speed liquid jet impacts, recoverable liquid repellence over a self-healed notch, and low ice adhesion up to 50 icing/deicing cycles. By exploiting the porosity of MOF nanoparticles in our nanocomposites, fluorine-free, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces with stable, low ice adhesion strengths were also achieved by infusing silicone oil into the coatings.

Abstract
Spiral inductors are required to realise high inductance in radio frequency (RF) circuits. Although their fabrication by using micro-electrical-mechanical systems, thin films, actuators, etc., has received considerable research attention, current approaches are both complex and expensive. In this study, we designed and fabricated a thermal spiral inductor by using a three-dimensional (3D) printed shape-memory polymer (SMP). The proposed inductor was inspired by kirigami geometry whereby a two-dimensional (2D) planar geometric shape could be transformed into a 3D spiral one to change the inductance by heating and manually transform. Mechanical and electromagnetic analyses of the spiral inductor design was conducted. Hence, in contrast with the current processes used to manufacture spiral inductors, ours can be realised via a single facile fabrication step.
