Abstract
Currently, polymer-fiber composite films face the challenge of striking a balance between good mechanical properties and multi-functionalities. Here, aramid fibers (ANFs), chitosan (CS) dendritic particles, and silver nanowires (AgNWs) were used to create high-performance multifunctional composite films. AgNWs and polymer dendritic particles form an interpenetrating segregated network that ensures both a continuous conductive filler and a polymer network. Electrostatic assembly eliminates repulsion between negatively charged ANFs, cross-linked CS particles generate a stable three-dimensional network, and a "brick-mortar" structure composed of multiple materials contributes to topological enhancement. Sintering encourages local overlap and fusing of the AgNWs while reducing their internal flaws. Based on the above strategy, these films achieve a strength of 306.5 MPa, a toughness of 26.5 MJ m-3, and a conductivity of 392 S cm-1. Density functional theory (DFT) and Comsol simulations demonstrate that the introduction of CS thin layers leads to strong hydrogen bonds and three-dimensional continuous conductive networks. With its outstanding mechanical and electrical properties, the AgNW@ANF/CS-CH film demonstrates excellent electromagnetic shielding (22 879.1 dB cm2 g-1) and Joule heating (70 °C within 10 s) capabilities. This work presents a novel approach to fabricate high-performance conductive films and expand their potential applications in lightweight wearable electronics and electrothermal therapy.

Abstract
The flame-retardant paper has gradually evolved into a necessary material in various industries as a result of the rising importance of fire safety, energy efficiency, and environmental preservation. Traditional cellulose paper requires the addition of a large amount of flame retardants to achieve flame retardancy, which poses a serious threat to mechanical quality and the environment. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop inorganic fiber flame-retardant paper with good flexibility, high thermal stability, and inherent flame retardancy. Herein, inspired by the "brick-and-mortar" layered structure of nature nacre, we developed a layered composite paper with a unique alternating arrangement of organic-inorganic fibers by synergistically integrating environmentally sustainable basalt fiber (BF) and high-performance aramid nanofibers (ANFs) through a vacuum-assisted filtration process. The as-prepared ANFs/BF composite paper exhibited low thermal conductivity (0.024 W m-1 K-1), high tensile strength (54.22 MPa), and excellent flexibility. Thanks to its excellent thermal stability, the mechanical strength remains at a high level (92%) after heat treatment at 300 °C for 60 min. Furthermore, the peak heat release rate and smoke generation of ANFs/BF composite paper decreased by 44.6 and 95.3%, respectively. Therefore, the composite paper is promising for applications as a protective layer in flexible electronic devices, cables, and fire-retardant and high-temperature fields.

Abstract
The development of interfacial engineering was crucial for achieving the industrialization of high-performance carbon fiber/phenolic composites. In this study, establishing scalable interpenetrating networks (cellulose nanofiber-zeolitic imidazolate frameworks-8/aramid nanofiber-boron nitride) on the fiber/matrix interphase, was in favor of realizing precise repairation of interfacial defects, further regulating thermal conductivity, mechanical and tribological properties of the composites. Based on the physical and chemical bridging-effects arising from above spider-web networks, the flexural strength and modulus of modified sample were 74.69 MPa and 6.22 GPa, showing an increase of 135.99% and 56.68%, respectively. Meanwhile, this trans-scale spider-web structure acted as a micron skeleton-nano unit continuous thermal conductive network, significantly reduced phonon scattering and displayed a 258.33% enhancement in the thermal management capability of modified sample. This study reveals key design principles of trans-scale interfacial structure to dynamicly regulate performances and meet service requirements of next-generation carbon fiber/phenolic composites.

Abstract
Hydrogels capable of transforming in response to a magnetic field hold great promise for applications in soft actuators and biomedical robots. However, achieving high mechanical strength and good manufacturability in magnetic hydrogels remains challenging. Here, inspired by natural load-bearing soft tissues, a class of composite magnetic hydrogels is developed with tissue-mimetic mechanical properties and photothermal welding/healing capability. In these hydrogels, a hybrid network involving aramid nanofibers, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and poly(vinyl alcohol) is accomplished by a stepwise assembly of the functional components. The engineered interactions between nanoscale constituents enable facile materials processing and confer a combination of excellent mechanical properties, magnetism, water content, and porosity. Furthermore, the photothermal property of Fe3O4 nanoparticles organized around the nanofiber network allows near-infrared welding of the hydrogels, providing a versatile means to fabricate heterogeneous structures with custom designs. Complex modes of magnetic actuation are made possible with the manufactured heterogeneous hydrogel structures, suggesting opportunities for further applications in implantable soft robots, drug delivery systems, human-machine interactions, and other technologies.

Abstract
Highly ordered and uniformly porous structure of conductive foams is a vital issue for various functional purposes such as piezoresistive sensing and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding. With the aids of Kevlar polyanionic chains, thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) foams reinforced by aramid nanofibers (ANF) with adjustable pore-size distribution were successfully obtained via a non-solvent-induced phase separation. In this regard, the most outstanding result is the in situ formation of ANF in TPU foams after protonation of Kevlar polyanion during the NIPS process. Furthermore, in situ growth of copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) on TPU/ANF foams was performed according to the electroless deposition by using the tiny amount of pre-blended Ti3C2Tx MXene as reducing agents. Particularly, the existence of Cu NPs layers significantly promoted the storage modulus in 2,932% increments, and the well-designed TPU/ANF/Ti3C2Tx MXene (PAM-Cu) composite foams showed distinguished compressive cycle stability. Taking virtues of the highly ordered and elastic porous architectures, the PAM-Cu foams were utilized as piezoresistive sensor exhibiting board compressive interval of 0-344.5 kPa (50% strain) with good sensitivity at 0.46 kPa-1. Meanwhile, the PAM-Cu foams displayed remarkable EMI shielding effectiveness at 79.09 dB in X band. This work provides an ideal strategy to fabricate highly ordered TPU foams with outstanding elastic recovery and excellent EMI shielding performance, which can be used as a promising candidate in integration of satisfactory piezoresistive sensor and EMI shielding applications for human-machine interfaces.

Abstract
High-efficiency electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and heat dissipation synergy materials with flexible, robust, and environmental stability are urgently demanded in next-generation integration electronic devices. In this work, we report the lamellar MXene/Aramid nanofiber (ANF) composite films, which establish a nacre-like structure for EMI shielding and heat dissipation by using the intermittent filtration strategy. The MXene/ANF composite film filled with 50 wt % MXene demonstrates enhanced mechanical properties with a strength of 230.5 MPa, an elongation at break of 6.2%, and a toughness of 11.8 MJ·m3 (50 wt % MXene). These remarkable properties are attributed to the hydrogen bonding and highly oriented structure. Furthermore, due to the formation of the MXene conductive network, the MXene/ANF composite film shows an outstanding conductivity of 624.6 S/cm, an EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of 44.0 dB, and a superior specific SE value (SSE/t) of 18847.6 dB·cm2/g, which is better than the vacuum filtration film. Moreover, the MXene/ANF composite film also shows a great thermal conductivity of 0.43 W/m·K. The multifunctional MXene/ANF composite films with high-performance EMI shielding, heat dissipation, and joule heating show great potential in the field of aerospace, military, microelectronics, microcircuit, and smart wearable electronics.

Abstract
Aerogels, the lightest artificial solid materials characterized by low density and thermal conductivity, high porosity, and large specific surface area, have attracted increasing interest. Aerogels exhibit single-mode thermal insulation properties regardless of the surrounding temperature. In this study, hyperelastic Kevlar nanofiber aerogels (HEKAs) are designed and fabricated by a slow-proton-release-modulating gelation and thermoinduced crosslinking strategy. The method does not use crosslinking agents and endows the ultralow-density (4.7 mg cm-3 ) HEKAs with low thermal conductivity (0.029 W m-1 K-1 ), high porosity (99.75%), high thermal stability (550 °C), and increased compression resilience (80%) and fatigue resistance. Proofs of the concept of the HEKAs acting as on-off thermal switches are demonstrated through experiments and simulations. The thermal switches exhibit a rapid thermal response speed of 0.73 °C s-1 , high heat flux of 2044 J m-2 s-1 , and switching ratio of 7.5. Heat dissipation can be reversibly switched on/off more than fifty times owing to the hyperelasticity and fatigue resistance of the HEKAs. This study suggests a route to fulfill the hyperelasticity of highly porous aerogels and to tailor heat flux on-demand.

Abstract
The scale-up preparation of aramid nanofiber (ANF) and cellulose nanofiber (CNF), still faces serious challenges such as extreme production cost and lengthy preparation cycle. Herein, a feasible top-down strategy was proposed to achieve the efficient reclamation of waste resources, further realizing the large-scale production of high value-added nanofibers. The ANF/CNF as nanoscale building blocks and their reinforcement effects on the mechanical performances of carbon fiber/phenolic composites were investigated. Related strength and modulus of ANF/CNF-enhanced composites in the tensile, bending, shear and nano indentation tests, increased by 118.1% (tensile strength), 141.2% (tensile modulus), 142.2% (flexural strength), 354.4% (flexural modulus), 38.8% (shear strength) and 94.4% (elastic modulus), respectively. Our work offers a valuable reference in the fabrication of low-cost ANF/CNF derived from waste resources, which would facilitate the wide application of nanofibers in fabricating high-performance advanced functional materials.

Abstract
With the rapidly increasing development of portable devices and flexible electronic devices, multifunctional composites with excellent mechanical strength, great electromagnetic interference shielding, great Joule heating performance and strong fire-resistant protective performance are noticeably required. Herein, inspired by the sandwich structure, we have designed a montmorillonite/aramid nanofibers@MXene (MMT/ANFs@MXene) nanocomposite with an alternating multilayered structure via a simple AVF process. In this nanocomposite, the ANFs/MMT (AT) layer acts as a mechanically reinforced and insulation protection layer, while the MXene layer maintains a complete conductive network. The superior alternating multilayered structure endows the nanocomposite with outstanding mechanical properties (154.66 MPa, 14.22%) and excellent EMI shielding effectiveness values (58.4 dB). In addition, the fire-resistant protective performance of the nanocomposite improves its safety and reliability, especially, the EMI shielding effectiveness is maintained at ∼34 dB after burning for 30 s. Besides, the MMT/ANFs@MXene nanocomposite shows excellent Joule heating performance with a fast thermal response, low driving voltage and long-time temperature stability, which could reach 110.2 °C at only 3 V applied voltage within 10 s. As a result, this work presents a novel strategy for constructing multifunctional composites with outstanding overall performance, which will broaden application areas and prospects in thermal management and EMI shielding in wearable products.

Abstract
In this paper, a novel cow dung based activated carbon (CDAC) was successfully modified by W18O49 nanowires as a photocatalyst using KOH activation and a hydrothermal method. The activity of photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) under full-spectrum light illumination shows great improvement, and the degradation rate of MB could reach 98% after 240 min (67% for W18O49), with a final degradation rate of 98%. The porous structure with specific surface area of CDAC (∼479 m2 g-1) increases the adsorption of W18O49 reactants and also raises the concentration of reactants in the photocatalytic region. The high electrical conductivity and good electron storage capacity of CDAC allow the electrons excited in the conduction band (CB) of W18O49 to migrate smoothly into CDAC, which are the keys to enhancing the photocatalytic activity. Moreover, the photocatalytic mechanism was proposed. The results show that the CDAC/W18O49 nanowire composite can be used as an efficient photocatalyst for removal of MB dye from wastewater and indicate remarkable future potential in dye wastewater treatment technologies.

Abstract
Multifunctional wearable electronic devices based on natural materials are highly desirable for versatile applications of energy conversion, electronic skin and artificial intelligence. Herein, multifunctional wearable silver nanowire decorated leather (AgNW/leather) nanocomposites with hierarchical structures for integrated visual Joule heating, electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding and piezoresistive sensing are fabricated via the facile vacuum-assisted filtration process. The AgNWs penetrate the micro-nanoporous structures in the corium side of leather constructing highly-efficient conductive networks. The resultant flexible and mechanically strong AgNW/leather nanocomposites exhibit extremely low sheet resistance of 0.8 Ω/sq, superior visual Joule heating temperatures up to 108 °C at low supplied voltage of 2.0 V due to efficient energy conversion, excellent EMI shielding effectiveness (EMI SE) of ≈55 dB and outstanding piezoresistive sensing ability in human motion detection. This work demonstrates the fabrication of multifunctional AgNW/leather nanocomposites for next-generation wearable electronic devices in energy conversion, electronic skin and artificial intelligence, etc.

Abstract
Aramid nanofibers (ANFs) have important applications in many fields, including electrical insulation and battery separators. However, a few limitations seriously restrict the application of ANFs currently, such as low preparation efficiency and the unclear preparation mechanism. To overcome these limitations, the present work proposes a new view-point from the perspective of reaction kinetics. The preparation efficiency was proven to essentially rely on the effective c(OH-). With a simple pre-treatment, a kinetic advantage was created and the preparation time of ANFs was reduced from multiple hours to 10 minutes, which was a considerable step towards practical applications. Moreover, the resultant ANF membranes still exhibited excellent properties in terms of mechanical strength (tensile strength > 160 MPa), thermal stability, light transmittance, and electrical insulation (above 90 kV mm-1). This work not only presents an ultrafast method to produce ANFs but also provides new insights into the mechanism that will benefit the subsequent development of ANF-based materials.

Abstract
Nanofibre membranes with a small diameter and a large specific surface area are widely used in the filtration field due to their small pore size and high porosity. To date, aramid nanofibres (ANFs) have received extensive research interest because of their high stiffness and excellent temperature resistance. However, the preparation of ANFs usually takes a long time, which greatly hampers the practical application of these fibres. Herein, we report the preparation of ANFs by a modified deprotonation method at elevated temperature. Owing to the increase of temperature, the preparation cycle of ANFs was shortened to 8 hours. The resulting ANF dispersion was further coated on a polypropylene melt-blown nonwoven to form a composite nonwoven filter. With the submicron porous structure, the filtration efficiency, pressure drop and quality factor of the filter were 95.61%, 38.22 Pa and 0.082 Pa-1, respectively. Compared to the pristine nonwoven, the filtration, mechanical, and heat insulation properties of the composite filter were also significantly improved. This work may offer a simple and efficient way for enhancing the air filtration performances of current filters.

Chemical recycling of waste poly-p-phenylene terephthamide via selective cleavage of amide bonds catalyzed by strong Brönsted base in alcohols. WASTE MANAGEMENT (NEW YORK, N.Y.) 2022; 137:275-282.

Abstract
Poly-p-phenylene terephthamide (PPTA) is widely applied in bulletproof products and composite materials because of its high strength, high modulus, high temperature resistance and creep resistance. The PPTA molecule with highly symmetrical and regular structure is linear structure formed by the alternating connection of benzene ring and amide bond, and the amide bonds between the molecular chains form strong hydrogen bonds. Therefore, the dissolution and depolymerization of PPTA is very challenging. In this work, an efficient catalytic system was developed for the controllable degradation of waste PPTA, and the high-value added monomers terephthalic acid (TPA) and p-phenylenediamine (PPD) were recovered. The results show that the amide bonds of PPTA can be selectively cleaved by the strong Brönsted base catalysts in alcohols, especially in the NaOH/n-butanol system. Under the optimal degradation conditions (5 wt% NaOH in n-butanol, 180 °C, 6 h), the percentage degradation of PPTA is 100%, and the yields of TPA and PPD are 92.0% and 91.5%, respectively. In addition, it is found that the wettability of n-alcohols on PPTA monofilament and the addition of a small amount of water have important influences on the degradation of PPTA. The work elucidates the degradation mechanism of PPTA, and reveals the important factors affecting the depolymerization of PPTA.

Abstract
Low-grade aramid fibers, an unavoidable by-product in the industrialized process of aramid fiber production, are difficult to utilize and harmful to the environment. In this study, low-grade aramid fibers were recycled to assemble a high-quality epoxy resin through an epoxidation modification. Triggered by the epichlorohydrin, the molecular configuration of the low-grade aramid fibers was altered through crosslinking and chain-extension processes. bisphenol-A epoxy resin (E-51) with 5% aramid-based epoxy resin cured product exhibited improved mechanical and thermal properties, outperforming pure E-51 and pure aramid. This improvement is caused by the increased percentage of epoxide groups and flexible ether bonds. This work opens up new possibilities to maximize the reclamation of low-grade aramid fibers, which currently poses an obstacle in waste recycling. Low-grade aramid fibers are transformed to high value-added aramid-based epoxy resin. Bisphenol-A epoxy resin with aramid-based epoxy resin cured products exhibited improved mechanical properties, outperforming pure E-51 and pure aramid.![]()

Abstract
Paper-based packaging generally has poor performances in the gas/oil barriers. This work reports a paper-based packaging material prepared via the modification of conventional papers with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibers (TOCN)/cationic guar gum (CGG) hydrogel film. Specifically, the hydrogel film modification was realized through a layer-by-layer deposition on paper. The hydrogel film modification significantly improved the mechanical and barrier properties of the paper. Specifically, the 4-layer hydrogel film modified paper showed a tensile strength of 34.03 MPa and a burst strength of 510 kPa, respectively. In contrast, the unmodified paper exhibited a tensile strength of 26.78 MPa and a bursting strength of 388 kPa. The packaging performance of this TOCN/CGG hydrogel film modified paper was demonstrated via the fresh mooncake packaging test. Such hydrogel film not only provided the oil resistance, but also maintained the mooncake's freshness. This material can serve as a green and sustainable food packaging.

Abstract
Developing one-dimensional fiber-based sensors to meet the requirement of spinnability, portability, flexibility, and easeful conformability in smart wearable devices has attracted increasing interest. Here, we report highly conductive MXene@aramid nanofibers (ANFs) with a distinct skin-core structure by the wet spinning method. MXene, an emerging 2D conductive material, is applied to build internal conductive paths. ANF frameworks function as protective and skeleton structures to reduce the fiber oxidation probability and achieve superior strength. The obtained MXene@ANF fiber with superior conductivity (2515 S m-1) and tensile strength (130 MPa) works as a promising sensor for smart fabrics to detect different human movements with abundant detection motions, fast response time (100 ms), and long service life (up to 1000 cycles). Benefiting from its high flexibility, it can be sewn into textile and gloves as a smart wearable device. Besides superior thermal stability, it shows promising electrothermal properties with wide heating temperature (25-123 °C) and fast heating temperature (10 s). Therefore, the MXene@ANF fiber with the skin-core structure shows great potential as a promising sensor to be applied in electric heating and smart wearable fabrics.

Abstract
Conductive nanocellulose aerogels have attracted significant attention in pressure sensing for wearable devices owing to lightweight, sustainability and good chemical stability. Limited by its flammability and weak mechanical properties, aramid nanofiber (ANF) was designed as reinforcement to overcome the shortcoming mentioned above. Herein, the unidirectional freeze casting method was proposed to fabricate nanocellulose/aramid nanofiber (CA) aerogel. Then, the CA/PPy (CAP) aerogel was obtained by using the oriented structure of CA aerogel as a template for inducing conductive polypyrrole (PPy) in-situ formation inside the composite aerogel. The conductive aerogel with the ordered microstructure exhibited the anisotropic mechanical properties and thermal conductivity. And it could withstand high temperature without any destruction phenomenon. Moreover, the aerogel sensor revealed high strain sensitivity and satisfactory electrochemical performance. Lightweight CAP aerogel with controllable alignment, sensitive sensing property and thermal stability is very promising in pressure sensor under some extreme conditions.

Abstract
Aramid paper has been widely used in high-voltage motors and transformers due to its excellent insulation property and thermal durability. However, the smoothness and chemical inertness of aramid fibers lead to a loose structure (voids) of aramid paper, which limits its potential applications in harsh environments, such as high-frequency and high-voltage circuits. This work reports a simple and efficient method to improve the mechanical and insulation properties of meta-aramid paper via controllable dissolving and regeneration of aramid fibers. To obtain a dense and robust structure, the pristine meta-aramid paper was immersed in a dimethyl sulfoxide/potassium hydroxide (DMSO/KOH) mixture to make aramid fibers swelled and dissolved, followed by regeneration in water vapor, eventually generating densified aramid paper with fewer voids and enhanced insulation and mechanical performance. Optimum conditions resulted in aramid paper with the best comprehensive performance, and the tensile strength, Young's modulus, and electrical breakdown strength of the consolidated aramid paper were 22.85 MPa, 0.72 GPa, and 15.3 kV/mm, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the pristine aramid paper (12.53 MPa, 0.41 GPa, and 8.36 kV/mm). Meanwhile, such treatment did not cause any chemical structure change, and thus it still retained the excellent thermal resistance (Td > 430 °C) of aramid fibers. This simple method can effectively regulate the surface porosity and the mechanical and breakdown strength of aramid paper, as well as provide a generic method for postprocessing and enhancing aramid paper.
