Bistable Photochromic Guest–Host Liquid Crystals for Rewritable and Switchable Photonic Devices
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A photochromic DTCP‐based liquid crystal dye is incorporated into cholesteric liquid crystals (CLCs) to achieve optically and electrically tunable multistable states. In the open‐ring form, the system exhibits three electrically stable textures—planar, focal conic, and uniformly lying helix (ULH)—corresponding to reflective, scattering, and transparent

Unusual Swelling Behavior of Hydrogels Modified with Spiropyran as Appendage or Crosslinker
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Not so innocent after all—spiropyran crosslinkers in methylenebisacrylamide‐crosslinked poly(acrylamide‐co‐acrylic acid) hydrogels increase crosslinking density, but also, counterintuitively, increase swelling. Charge complexation, cooperative chemo‐mechanical effects, and aggregation may explain these observations.
