Poly(2‐Oxazoline)‐Based Polyphotoacids: Synthesis, Solution Behavior, and Cellular Uptake of Multi‐Responsive Intracellular Transporters

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
The ability of photoacids to increase their acidity in response to light irradiation (excited state proton transfer, ESPT) makes them attractive building blocks for the design of stimuli‐responsive copolymers. In this contribution, we present highly biocompatible polyphotoacids based on poly(2‐oxazoline)s bearing 1‐hydroxypyrene units. Low cytotoxicity,

Hydrogels Incorporating Donor–Acceptor Stenhouse Adducts as a Platform for Photoinduced, On‐Off Switchable Release of Small Molecule Cargos

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Donor–acceptor Stenhouse aDdducts (DASAs) are known for their photoinduced tautomerization, which, when conjugated to block copolymers, can self‐assemble into tuneable polymersomes. These DASA‐polymersomes are being investigated for light‐controlled cargo release in biomedical applications.

4D Printable Formulations of Mixed Low and High Molecular Weight Liquid Crystalline Units: A Versatile Route to Functional Soft Actuators

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
This work presents a practical approach for formulating 4D printable inks that incorporates substantial fractions of low molecular weight mesogens. By blending low molecular weight diacrylate or monoacrylate constituents with a high molecular weight main‐chain macromer, the resulting mixture proves suitable for direct ink writing, enabling mechanical ...

Toward Dynamic Liquid Cell Scaffold: Photoreversible Ion Gels Exhibiting Light‐Induced Sol‐Gel Transitions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Light‐programmable, non‐cytotoxic ion gels based on ABC triblock copolymers undergo photoreversible sol‐gel transitions, crossing the rheological boundary (tan δ ∼ 1). UV–vis light irradiation modulates the lifetime of reversible junctions, switching the scaffold between liquid‐like and solid (gel)‐like states.
