Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 1306-1318, 15 March 2025.ABSTRACT N‐vinylamides, especially noncyclic N‐vinylacetamide (NVA), have been used in various applications such as biomaterials, surfactants, and hydrogels. However, their potential to copolymerize with cyclic ketene acetal (CKA) to create degradable polymers is underexplored.

Tuning the stimuli-responsive properties of poly(ionic liquid)s [PDF]
, 2015 Poly(Ionic Liquid)s (PILs) are a class of ionic liquids that feature polymerizable groups in either the cation, the anion or both. PILs can be used in various applications, including solid ion conductors or for CO2 absorption.

Small, EarlyView.Heating and cooling energy demand account for nearly half of the global energy consumption. SH and RC offer sustainable, zero‐energy strategies, but single‐mode devices lack adaptability. 3D dual‐mode devices, exploiting axial, flipping, and bending deformations, provide reversible switching with dynamic or passive control, representing a promising ...
