Hydrogels: From Simple Covalently Cross‐Linked Systems toward Hydrophobically Associating Adaptive Semicrystalline Materials

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 8, August 2026.
The exceptional toughness of these hydrogels originates from a lamellar cluster structure in which tie molecules, formed by PDMAAm chains containing noncrystallized C18A and C12M segments, transfer stress, and dissipate energy during deformation. Fragmentation of lamellar clusters under load produces yielding, whereas hydrogels without C12M lack this ...

Catechol‐Containing Poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline): Synthesis and Thermoresponsive Behavior in Aqueous Salt Solutions

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.
Polymers carrying catechol groups are interesting mussel‐inspired materials for wet adhesion applications or metal ion complexation for wastewater treatment. Here, catechol‐containing poly(2‐isopropyl‐2‐oxazoline)s were synthesized via microwave‐assisted cationic (co)polymerization and examined with regard to their thermoresponsive LCST behavior in ...
