Designing Strong, Tough, Fire‐Retardant and Self‐Healing Elastomers with Phosphorus/Nitrogen‐ and Biphenyl‐Containing Segments

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
By designing a P/N‐ and π–π interacting biphenyl‐containing diol as hard segments but side groups, a strong, tough, fire‐extinguishing and self‐healing elastomer is developed, demonstrating a break strain of ∼2500%, a toughness of 379 MJ/m3 and a tensile strength of 46 MPa, as well as a healing efficiency of 95% (tensile strength) and 99% (break strain)

Uniaxial nematic elastomers: Constitutive framework and a simple application

, 2005
Using a geometrical approach to treat the constraints associated with the continuum description of uniaxial nematic elastomers, we develop the general constitutive framework for such materials. We also provide a variational formulation of equilibrium and

Leaf‐Inspired Eutectic Skin With Extreme Fatigue Resistance and Robust Wet Adhesion for Amphibious Epidermal Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by Acorus calamus leaves, a heterogeneous eutectic skin integrates an aligned fibrous network within a hydrophobic eutectogel matrix. This hierarchical architecture triggers strain‐induced crystallization to achieve exceptional mechanical toughness and durable wet adhesion.

Anisotropic Mechano‐Optical Properties of Chiral Nematic Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Uniaxial In‐Plane Helical‐Axis Alignment

Small Structures
This study investigates the mechano‐optical properties of chiral nematic liquid crystal (N* LC) elastomers with a uniaxial in‐plane helical‐axis alignment. We fabricate a freestanding N* LC elastomer by using a recently reported method.

Double‐Sided Mechanical Interlocking Enables Soft‐Rigid Conductive Interfaces With a Record High Toughness for Flexible Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A double‐sided mechanical interlocking strategy is developed to create robust electrical contact between polymer electrode and metal interconnect. The fibrous structure enables formation of thread–hole adhesion, which only breaks under bulk failure and achieves a record high interfacial energy exceeding 730 J·m−2. This adhesion secures the integrity of
