Abstract
Maneuver of conducting polymers (CPs) into lightweight hydrogels can improve their functional performances in energy devices, chemical sensing, pollutant removal, drug delivery, etc. Current approaches for the manipulation of CP hydrogels are limited, and they are mostly accompanied by harsh conditions, tedious processing, compositing with other constituents, or using unusual chemicals. Herein, a two-step route is introduced for the controllable fabrication of CP hydrogels in ambient conditions, where gelation of the shape-anisotropic nano-oxidants followed by in-situ oxidative polymerization leads to the formation of polyaniline (PANI) and polypyrrole hydrogels. The method is readily coupled with different approaches for materials processing of PANI hydrogels into varied shapes, including spherical beads, continuous wires, patterned films, and free-standing objects. In comparison with their bulky counterparts, lightweight PANI items exhibit improved properties when those with specific shapes are used as electrodes for supercapacitors, gas sensors, or dye adsorbents. The current study therefore provides a general and controllable approach for the implementation of CP into hydrogels of varied external shapes, which can pave the way for the integration of lightweight CP structures with emerging functional devices.

Abstract
Ordered silver nanowire (AgNW) film can effectively reduce the density of nodes, reduce the roughness of the film, and increase its conductivity and transmittance. In this paper, a double-layer crossed AgNW grid film was prepared by the auxiliary stirring method. The average transmittance of the double-layer crossed AgNW grid film was found to be 80% in the 400–1000 nm band, with a square resistance of 35 Ω/sq. As a transparent conductive anode material, the ordered AgNW film was applied to fabricate a flexible green organic light-emitting diode (OLED). The experimental results showed that the threshold voltage of the OLED was only 5 V and the maximum luminance was 1500 cd/m2.

Abstract
Conducting polymer nanocoatings render plastics to possess interesting optical, chemical, and electrical properties. It nevertheless remains technically challenging to deposit uniform conducting polymer nanocoatings on ambient plastic substrates ascribed to the inert and varied chemical properties of plastics and the notorious processability of conducting polymers. Previous studies have made progress in delivering various conducting polymer thin films via oxidative chemical vapor deposition. Herein, we develop a solution-based approach to polyaniline (PANI) and PEGylated PANI nanocoatings on multiple engineering plastics followed by evaluating their antifouling performance. The procedure relies on the formation of uniform, lyotropic V2O5·nH2O thin films on plastics assisted by a surfactant-sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate. Next, in situ, oxidative polymerization causes the formation of nanofibrous PANI nanocoatings. Finally, interfacial functionalization leads to PEGylated PANI nanocoatings, and the steric nanolayer effectively repels the adsorption of bovine serum albumin and the attachment of the bacterium Pseudoalteromonas sp. on the surface. It is worth noting that the antifouling properties rely mainly on the presence of PEGylated PANI nanocoatings, irrespective of the type of plastic substrates underneath. The current study therefore opens an avenue for the solution-based delivery of conducting polymer-based, functional nanocoatings on hydrophobic substrates in a controllable manner with the availability of further modification.
