The membranes were prepared by coating polypropylene NWFs with a photothermal layer of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAm)-based microgels impregnated with graphene oxide nanoparticles (GONPs). This design enables "photothermal smart-gating" using light dosage as remote control of the membrane's permeability to electrolytes. Upon exposure to infrared light, the GONPs trigger a rapid local increase in temperature, which contracts the PNIPAm-based microgels lodged in the pore space of the NWFs. The contraction of the microgels can be reverted by cooling from the surrounding aqueous environment. The efficient conversion of infrared light into localized heat by GONPs coupled with the phase transition of the microgels above the lower critical solution temperature (LCST) of PNIPAm provide effective control over the effective porosity, and thus the permeability, of the membrane. The material design parameters, namely the monomer composition of the microgels and the GONP-to-microgel ratio, enable tuning the permeability shift in response to IR light; control NWFs coated with GONP-free microgels displayed thermal responsiveness only, whereas native NWFs showed no smart-gating behavior at all. This technology shows potential toward processing temperature-sensitive bioactive ingredients or remote-controlled bioreactors.}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, author={Ramesh, Srivatsan and Davis, Jack and Roros, Alexandra and Zhou, Chuanzhen and He, Nanfei and Gao, Wei and Menegatti, Stefano and Khan, Saad and Genzer, Jan}, year={2022}, month={Sep} } @article{barbieri_cutright_ramesh_khan_efimenko_genzer_menegatti_2022, title={Potent Antibacterial Composite Nonwovens Functionalized with Bioactive Peptides and Polymers}, volume={8}, ISSN={["2196-7350"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.202201061}, DOI={10.1002/admi.202201061}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={ADVANCED MATERIALS INTERFACES}, author={Barbieri, Eduardo and Cutright, Camden C. and Ramesh, Srivatsan and Khan, Saad A. and Efimenko, Kirill and Genzer, Jan and Menegatti, Stefano}, year={2022}, month={Aug} } @misc{ramesh_khan_park_ford_menegatti_genzer_2022, title={Self-healing and repair of fabrics: A comprehensive review of the application toolkit}, volume={54}, ISSN={["1873-4103"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.mattod.2021.11.016}, abstractNote={Self-healing fabrics respond to chemical and physical damage by restoring functional, structural, and morphological features. We present a comprehensive review of textile hybrids or composites capable of self-healing and repairing fabrics against damages across the micro- (µm), meso- (µm – mm), and macro-scale (>mm). The reviewed literature is organized in three sections presenting (i) the chemistry and fabrication principles of designing self-healing fabrics against increasing size scales of repair, (ii) stimuli-driven and autonomous healing, and (iii) the methods to characterize the recovery of wettability, barrier, morphological, mechanical, and other properties. The discussion of mainstream methods for developing self-healing fabrics focuses on coatings, composites, and specialized fabrication techniques required as the damage size grows from µm to mm to >mm. The section on stimuli-driven repair and autonomous recovery discusses the time scales associated with different damage repair, showing how external stimuli provide a higher driving force towards healing and accelerate material restoration than autonomous recovery. Finally, an array of optical, mechanical, and functional characterization techniques is discussed to evaluate the recovery yield and understand the repair mechanisms of the various fabrics. This review demonstrates the virtually limitless uses of next-generation self-healing systems, from separations to protective clothing, anti-fouling, and self-cleaning.}, journal={MATERIALS TODAY}, author={Ramesh, Srivatsan and Khan, Saad and Park, Yaewon and Ford, Ericka and Menegatti, Stefano and Genzer, Jan}, year={2022}, month={Apr}, pages={90–109} } @article{ramesh_davis_roros_eiben_fabiani_smith_reynolds_pourdeyhimi_khan_genzer_et al._2021, title={Dual-Responsive Microgels for Structural Repair and Recovery of Nonwoven Membranes for Liquid Filtration}, volume={3}, ISSN={["2637-6105"]}, url={https://doi.org/10.1021/acsapm.0c01360}, DOI={10.1021/acsapm.0c01360}, abstractNote={This study presents dual-responsive colloidal microgels to repair nonwoven fiber mats (NWFs) and recover their native morphological and functional properties.
