A molecular design strategy combines lignin‐derived aromatic units, sugar‐derived furan groups, and flexible glycol segments to create wet‐spinnable polyurethanes. Thermally reversible Diels–Alder crosslinking chemistry enables formation of crosslinked thermosetting fibers, repeated de‐crosslinking/re‐crosslinking cycles, and tunable fiber properties ...

Self‐Immolative Poly(Benzyl Ether)s: Design Principles and Controlled Depolymerization
Unzipping to Sustainability: This Concept article explores the thermodynamic design of quinone‐methide (QM)‐based poly(benzyl ether)s (PBEs). It explains how a low ceiling temperature (Tc), QM stability, and an entropic gain drive rapid depolymerization (“unzipping”) of PBEs into monomers.

Europium doping of bismuth oxido nanoclusters (BiO‐NCs) provides stable hosts for Eu3+ in an asymmetric coordination environment, which in turn results in an intense 5D0→7F0 transition and long luminescence lifetimes. Transparent hybrid materials showing characteristic red photoluminescence are accessible via radical copolymerisation of these soluble ...
