High‐Performance Bio‐Based Epoxy Vitrimers and Composites: Synergizing Robustness and Reprocessability via Fractional Free Volume Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this work, two bio‐based epoxy monomers were designed to tune the dynamic network of a rigid–flexible hybrid epoxy through free‐volume control, achieving a synergy among high free volume, high cross‐linking density, and segmental mobility while balancing strength and toughness.

Nonlinear Ion‐Specific Control of Underwater Adhesion by Bottlebrush Polymer Interfaces

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The efficiency of underwater adhesion is modulated by ion‐specific effects. Strongly hydrated Na+ remains separated from the mica surface by its hydration shell, preserving access to binding sites, whereas weakly hydrated K+ can partially dehydrate and occupy ditrigonal cavities.

A ROS‐Responsive and Mucoadhesive Thermosensitive Hydrogel Encapsulated with Mizoribine for Synergistic Dry Eye Therapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The ROS‐responsive in situ thermosensitive MZR@SPPP hydrogel system enables dual‐stage drug loading and sustained ocular delivery. Upon administration, it gelates at ocular surface temperature, enhancing ocular adhesion. By scavenging free radicals, restoring NRF2‐mediated antioxidant defense and mitochondrial homeostasis, and suppressing inflammatory ...

Diblock Copolymer Nanoparticles Act as Nanoreactors for the Synthesis of Sterically‐Stabilized Inorganic Oxide Particles in Non‐polar Media

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Poly(lauryl methacrylate)‐poly(2‐hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PLMA‐PHEMA) diblock copolymer nanoparticles prepared in non‐polar media serve as nanoreactors for the in situ synthesis of silica from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). A silica mass loading of 17% as judged by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) produces a highly transparent dispersion, and ...

Adaptive Hydrogenation of Alkynes Using CO as a Molecular Trigger to Selectively Produce Alkanes or Z‐Alkenes

Angewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
One catalyst for two products: CO acts as a molecular trigger for adaptive alkyne hydrogenation using supported Pd nanoparticles. The catalyst reversibly switches between the formation of alkanes under H2 and Z‐alkenes under H2/CO for 37 structurally diverse alkynes.

Characterizing Biopolymer Electrolytes in Zinc–Air Batteries: Challenges, Best Practices, and a Robust Workflow Guiding Future Research Paths

Advanced Energy Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based gel polymer electrolytes promise sustainable, mechanically adaptable zinc–air batteries, yet their progress is constrained by inconsistent characterization. This review critically links formulation, structure, interfaces, and cell performance, identifies methodological gaps under alkaline operating conditions, and proposes application ...

Development of an Inchworm‐Like Dual‐Balloon‐Assisted Colonoscopic Robot Based on a Two‐Segment Extensible Continuum Section

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work presents an inchworm‐like dual‐balloon‐assisted colonoscopic robot (IDCR) based on a rod‐driven two‐segment continuum section. The IDCR enables the active straightening of the sigmoid colon through an inchworm‐like locomotion strategy, thereby avoiding loop formation.

Preferential trading in agriculture: New insights from a structural gravity analysis and machine learning

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Preferential trade agreements (PTAs) contain various non‐tariff provisions, yet identifying their trade effects remains challenging because these commitments are high‐dimensional and strongly correlated within agreements. We estimated a theory‐consistent structural gravity model with domestic flows for 26 agricultural subsectors over 1988–2017
