Dialectics of nature in materials science: binary cooperative complementary materials
Binary cooperative complementary materials, consisting of two components with entirely opposite physiochemical properties at the nanoscale, are presented as a novel principle for the design and construct of functional materials. By summarizing recent achievement in materials science, it can be found that the cooperative interaction distance between the pair of complementary property must be comparable with the scale of related physical or chemical parameter. When the binary components are in the cooperative distance, the cooperation between these building blocks becomes dominant and endows the macroscopic materials with unique properties and advanced functionalities that cannot be achieved by either of building blocks.Zhai Yao "Er Yuan Xie Tong Cai Liao "Zhe Yi Xin Gai Nian ,Bu Tong Yu Chuan Tong De Dan Yi Ti Xiang Cai Liao ,Shi Zai Cai Liao De Hong Guan Biao Mian Huo Ti Xiang Nei Jian Zao Er Yuan Xie Tong Na Mi Jie Mian Jie Gou Gai Cai Liao She Ji Yuan Li Shi ,Zai Jie Guan Chi Du Yin Ru Bu Tong Shen Zhi Wan Quan Xiang Fan Li Hua Xing Zhi De Na Mi Wei Qu ,Zai Mou Chong Tiao Jian Xia Ju You Xie Tong De Xiang Hu Zuo Yong Yi Zhi Zai Hong Guan Shang Cheng Xian Chu Chao Chang Gui Wu Xing De Cai Liao .Zhe Yi Xin Yuan Li De Guan Jian Shi Zhao Chu Zhe Liang Chong Zu Fen Jian De Xie Tong Ju Chi Gai Xie Tong Ju Chi Ying Gai Yu Wu Li Huo Hua Xue Zhong De Mou Yi Te Zheng Chang Shu Xiang Guan .Zhe Yi She Ji Yuan Li Ke Yi Tuo Zhan Dao Cai Liao Ke Xue De Duo Ge Ling Yu Yong Yu Zhi Dao Zhi Bei Ge Chong Xin Xing Gong Neng Cai Liao
