Autonomous Folding of Soft Matter From Living Polymers

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Origami structures are endowed with “living” polymer creases that grow, remodel, and stiffen in response to nutrient solutions. This post‐fabrication growth enables autonomous folding, iterative regrowth, and mechanical tuning involving origami assemblies, such as cranes, Miura‐ori tessellations, rigid and non‐rigid square‐twist patterns, establishing ...

Stress Transfer Within Microphase‐Separated Structures: A Post‐Synthetic Strategy to Impart Mechanoresponsiveness to Block Copolymer Materials

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A domain‐engineered post‐functionalization strategy is presented to impart mechanochromism to styrene–butadiene–styrene (SBS) block copolymers by simple blending with a tetraarylsuccinonitrile (TASN) mechanophore‐containing polystyrene (PS‐TASN‐PS). The resulting materials exhibit reversible fluorescence under tensile deformation while preserving, or ...
