Supramolecular Mechanophore Additives Enable Mechanochromic Hydrogels

Angewandte Chemie, Volume 138, Issue 44, 26 October 2026.
A supramolecular loop‐forming mechanophore featuring a quencher and an emitter is incorporated as a water‐soluble macromolecular additive into hydrogels. In the stress‐free state, intramolecular charge‐transfer interactions fold the loop and quench fluorescence.

Performance enhancement of aqueous ionic liquids with lower critical solution temperature (LCST) behavior through ternary mixtures [PDF]

Mixtures of two thermally responsive ionic liquids (ILs) in water exhibiting phase separation above a lower critical solution temperature (LCST) demonstrate a synergy that enhances the osmotic strength and lowers the LCST compared to binary mixtures ...

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

Surface and Interface Analysis, Volume 58, Issue 12, Page 1071-1080, December 2026.
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 ...
