Thiolate Salt Mediated Dynamic Silyl Ether Exchanges for Polymer Network Design and Deconstruction
This work introduces thiolate salts as mediators for dynamic silyl ether exchange. This platform enables the synthesis of reprocessable covalent adaptable polymer networks (CANs) and allows for sterically controlled, and tunable deconstruction of silyl ether‐containing thermosets.

Shaping Liquid Crystal Rubbers by Chemical Potential Gradient
Depositing a low molecular weight liquid crystal drop onto a uniformly aligned LCE leads to non‐uniform swelling, enabling temporary shape changes and bending actuation. These deformations are quantitatively modeled for different alignment conditions, and methods to permanently lock desired shapes are explored.
