Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Multi‐Responsive PAA/PNIPAM Semi‐IPN Hydrogel Properties Controlled by PAA Topology
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 15, 4 August 2026.Polymer topology governs hydrogel behavior in semi‐interpenetrating networks. Cyclic poly(acrylic acid) enables controlled pH‐responsive swelling, improved stability, and enhanced deformability compared to linear analogues, while linear systems show higher strength during thermal de‐swelling.

Light‐Activated Communication Between Synthetic and Living Cells via Photoresponsive Membranes
ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 14, 29 July 2026.Light‐triggered membrane rupture of SCs enables controlled release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and histamine, which activate purinergic and histaminergic signaling in HeLa cells, leading to intracellular Ca2+ mobilization. This biomimetic communication platform provides a simple strategy for engineering remotely controlled chemical signaling ...

Charged microgels and hollow microgels in concentrated binary suspensions
Microgels are a class of soft colloidal particles widely used both as a model system in condensed matter physics and as versatile functional materials in practical applications. The advances in the synthesis protocols made it possible to obtain microgels with a desired electrical charge and complex internal architectures.
