A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

open access: yesJournal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 34, September 10, 2026.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Hierarchical Assembly as a Design Principle: Structure–Property Relationships Linking Biological Architectures to Functional Aggregate Materials

open access: yesAggregate, Volume 7, Issue 9, September 2026.
Biological function arises from aggregates rather than from molecules. Comparing biomimetic systems on a common basis reveals three transferable design rules governing hierarchical assembly, interfacial gradients, and stimulus‐coupled anisotropy, and identifies self‐healing and single‐step multiscale integration as properties that do not transfer to ...
