Functional Nanomaterials: 3D Porous Superhydrophobic CNT/EVA Composites for Recoverable Shape Reconfiguration and Underwater Vibration Detection (Adv. Funct. Mater. 24/2019).

Highlights from the article: Functional Nanomaterials: 3D Porous Superhydrophobic CNT/EVA Composites for Recoverable Shape Reconfiguration and Underwater Vibration Detection (Adv. Funct. In article number 1900554, Hongqiang Li, Xingrong Zeng, and co-workers report a robust porous superhydrophobic composite (PSC) based on a hybrid of multiwalled carbon nanotubes network and a poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) matrix for recoverable shape reconfiguration and underwater vibration detection. The solvent plasticization and capillary effect endow the PSC with great shape memory performance, and the skeleton deformation makes the PSC applicable for detecting various underwater vibrations.
