Reversible Phase Transitions of Anionic and Cationic Surfactant Mixtures Drive Shape Morphing Droplets

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A light‐controlled, reversible phase transition of ionic surfactant assemblies, coupled with dynamic partitioning between bulk phases and interfaces, induces rapid, and order‐of‐magnitude changes in oil–water interfacial tension. Surpassing the capabilities of conventional stimuli‐responsive surfactants, this transient, collaborative mechanism enables ...

Mechanoresponsive Hydrogels Emerging from Dynamic and Non‐Covalent Interactions

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Mechanoresponsive behaviors in hydrogels often arise from dynamic or non‐covalent interactions between polymer chains. This review highlights self‐healing, shear‐thinning, shear‐thickening, and strain‐stiffening hydrogels formed through dynamic crosslinking motifs, discussing their underlying mechanisms and emergent applications across biomedical and ...
