Aerogel Fiber: A One‐Dimensional Programmable Porous Matter for Next Thermal Management Materials

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Materials, EarlyView.
Aerogel fibers are redefined as one‐dimensional programmable porous matter, where thermal transport is governed by multiscale pathway engineering. By reconstructing and decoupling transport pathways from molecular to textile scales, these systems integrate insulation, radiative cooling, and adaptive thermal regulation.

Thermoresponsive Gel‐Yarn Composites Enable Low‐Temperature Tensile Actuation in Twisted and Coiled Polymer Artificial Muscles

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Thermoresponsive gel–yarn composites integrate poly(MAA‐co‐OEGMA) hydrogels with twisted and coiled polyester yarns to enable reversible tensile actuation between 25°C and 50°C. Hydrogel swelling and deswelling generate internal stresses that drive lengthwise actuation, achieving isotonic strains up to 39%.

Mesophase Tunable Actuation of Ionic Thiol‐Acrylate Liquid Crystal Elastomers

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Thiol‐acrylate ionic liquid crystal elastomers (iLCE) are developed with nematic and cybotactic mesophases and polydomain and monodomain genesis. The effect of genesis, mesophase, and microstructure on electroactuation was studied. ABSTRACT Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are envisioned to play a crucial role in next‐generation soft robotics for their ...
