Vine Tendril‐Inspired Cold‐Programmable Shape‐Memory Polymer Composites Using Sugar Beet Pulp

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Vine tendrils inspire a bio‐derived, cold‐programmable shape‐memory polymer composite (SMPC). Magnetically guided sugar beet pulp creates mesoscale heterogeneity within a glassy matrix, producing built‐in mechanical asymmetry for rapid, solvent‐free programming by simple stretching.

Designing Butterfly‐Inspired Architecture in Self‐Assembled Hybrid Composites for Synergistic Structural Thermal Management

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Pioneering a butterfly‐inspired design strategy, this work engineers hybrid composites with hierarchical fibrous architectures to achieve synergistic performance. By translating biological principles into scalable composite architectures, it introduces a novel pathway to lightweight, multifunctional, and cost‐effective materials.

Reconciling Granular Hydrogel Microstructure and Mechanics via a Temporary Thermo‐Responsive and Cell‐Invadable Matrix

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Thermo‐responsive granular hydrogels (TRGHs), composed of microparticles and an interstitial matrix, exhibit thermo‐responsive mechanical properties and allow cell infiltration. This system effectively addresses the conventional compromise between mechanical strength and porosity observed in granular hydrogels.

Adhesive Protein Nanoparticles Control Emulsion Properties via Tunable Interdroplet Linking

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
In this study, pea protein nanoparticles were probed for their ability to link emulsion droplets. Experiments across multiple length scales showed that the nanoparticles form shear‐resistant links via bridging interactions from the thin film between droplets.

Dual‐Stimuli Responsive Poly(N‐acryloyl glycine) Microgels: Investigation of Network Structures and Application for Loading and Release of Biologics

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Poly(N‐acryloyl glycine) hydrogel microparticles were fabricated via droplet‐based microfluidics and in situ photopolymerization. Rheology and MQ‐NMR revealed pronounced effects of pH and Ca2+ on network constraints and chain mobility, governing extensive swelling.
