Thermoresponsive Liquid Crystalline Polymer Coatings Programmed by Field‐Induced Topological Defects for Tunable Optical and Topographical Responses

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Resonant standing waves generate large‐area lattices of liquid‐crystal topological defects that are permanently encoded into polymer coatings by photopolymerization. The preserved director architecture produces thermally reconfigurable surface topographies while maintaining programmable optical functionality, demonstrating a scalable strategy for ...

Fibrillisation and Mechanical Properties of Plasma‐Treated Modification LDPE/PA6 Microfibrillar Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Plasma treatment enhances interfacial adhesion between LDPE/PA6 via carbonyl group formation. PA6 droplet size heterogeneity reduced to ~850 nm after plasma treatment. Drawing at 160°C produces highly oriented microfibrils with faster throughput. Plasma‐treated MFCs show up to 500% tensile strength increase and 18% higher stiffness.
