“…A schematic of the reinforcing and tribological mechanism of LDHs microstructure on the composites is illustrated in Figure 9. When the Ni‐Co LDHs@CFs composites suffered from the tensile load, the stress could effectively transfer from the matrix to the fibers through the mosaic interface 21,47 . First, honeycomb‐like LDHs grown onto the CFs could provide traction force to inhibit the debonding of the interface.…”

The development of carbon fibers/polymer composites (CFPCs) has made a profound impact on varied application prospects in the transmission and braking fields, where interface engineering between fibers/matrix holds the key to co‐enhanced mechanical and tribological properties. Herein, we designed a honeycomb‐inspired Ni‐Co layered double hydroxides (Ni‐Co LDHs) modified CFPCs, in which Ni‐Co LDHs interconnected nanosheets were grown in‐situ onto the carbon fibers (CFs) surface via the oxidation‐assisted hydrothermal method, and then polymer matrix fully impregnate and filled with both the CFs and LDHs porous containers by capillary forces. Benefiting from the special interface, the Ni‐Co LDHs grafted CFs reinforced polymer composites (Ni‐Co LDHs@CFs composites) possessed the excellent mechanical strength and outstanding tribological properties. The LDHs@CFs composites had 32% improvement in the tensile strength, and 84.9% strength retention ratio after the hydrothermal aging process. Furthermore, the friction coefficient was increased by 24% and wear rate was dramatically decreased by 42% from 6.148 × 10−14 to 3.557 × 10−14 m3 (N m)−1, indicating better torque transmitting capacity and anti‐wear properties. This work could provide a valuable reference for the construction of biomimetic interface to simultaneously improve the mechanical and tribological properties of the CFPCs.

Recent advances in wearable energy harvesting technology as solutions to occupational health and safety programs are presented. Workers are often exposed to harmful conditions-especially in the mining and construction industries-where chronic health issues can emerge over time. While wearable sensors technology can aid in early detection and long-term exposure tracking, powering them and the associated risks are often an impediment for their widespread use, such as the need for frequent charging and battery safety. Repetitive vibration exposure is one such hazard, e.g., whole body vibration, yet it can also provide parasitic energy that can be harvested to power wearable sensors and overcome the battery limitations. This review can critically analyze the vibration effect on workers' health, the limitations of currently available devices, explore new options for powering different personal protective equipment devices, and discuss opportunities and directions for future research. The recent progress in self-powered vibration sensors and systems from the perspective of the underlying materials, applications, and fabrication techniques is reviewed. Lastly, the challenges and perspectives are discussed for reference to the researchers who are interested in self-powered vibration sensors.

The rational design of desirable lightweight structural materials usually needs to meet the strict requirements of mechanical properties. Seeking optimal integration strategies for lightweight structures and high mechanical performance is always of great research significance in the rapidly developing composites field, which also draws significant attention from materials scientists and engineers. However, the intrinsic incompatibility of low mass and high strength is still an open challenge for achieving satisfied engineering composites. Fortunately, creatures in nature tend to possess excellent lightweight properties and mechanical performance to improve their survival ability. Thus, by ingenious structure configuration, lightweight structural biomaterials with simple components can achieve high mechanical performance. This review comprehensively summarizes recent advances in three typical structures in natural biomaterials: cellular structures, fibrous structures, and sandwich structures. For each structure, typical organisms are selected for comparison, and their compositions, structures, and properties are discussed in detail, respectively. In addition, bioinspired design approaches of each structure are briefly introduced. At last, the outlook on the design and fabrication of bioinspired composites is also presented to guide the development of advanced composites in future practical engineering applications.
