Diverse reactivity of maleimides in polymer science and beyond

open access: yesPolymer International, Volume 74, Issue 4, Page 296-306, April 2025.
This mini‐review provides a thorough overview of maleimide chemistry, highlighting its diverse reactivity in polymer and materials science applications. Abstract Maleimides are remarkably versatile functional groups, capable of participating in homo‐ and copolymerizations, Diels–Alder and (photo)cycloadditions, Michael additions, and other reactions ...

Innovations in polysaccharide‐based hydrogels in sustainable agriculture

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
Polysaccharide‐based hydrogels are promising in sustainable agriculture, as these natural polymers have the ability to absorb water and nutrients and release them gradually in the soil, in addition to ensuring biodegradability and lower cost. However, some challenges still need to be overcome.

Spectroscopic Analysis of Hydration Structures in PEG‐ and PMPC‐Containing Hydrogels by Pressure‐Controlled ATR‐IR Combined With Multivariate Curve Resolution

open access: yesSurface and Interface Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hydration structures govern the properties and functions of hydrogels, yet selectively measuring hydration water in the presence of abundant bulk water remains analytically challenging. Here we applied pressure‐controlled attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (ATR‐IR) combined with multivariate curve resolution (MCR) analysis, a ...

Dual‐Functionality, Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles for Actuation and Motion Sensing in Smart Wearable Systems

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
This work presents a biofriendly carbon nanotube yarn artificial muscle operating either as an in‐air unipolar actuator or as a self‐powered ionotronic strain sensor. Using a non‐volatile eutectogel‐derived electrolyte, the system achieves up to 2.9% contraction and 0.5 mV/% strain sensing sensitivity.

Covalent Organic Framework Electrolytes for Solid‐State Lithium Batteries: Designing Ion Highways for Next‐Generation Energy Storage

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Covalent organic frameworks provide a structurally programmable platform for solid‐state lithium batteries. This review outlines a design framework linking structural descriptors to ion‐transport metrics. It examines mechanisms of confinement, channel architecture, and hybrid designs, addressing the reasons for the occasional failure of high intrinsic ...
