Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...

Can Elastomers Combine Stiffness, Toughness and Fatigue Resistance?

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This review studies how the molecular and macroscopic architecture of elastomers influence their mechanical properties including: stiffness, stretchability, toughness, fatigue resistance, and damping behavior. By linking the structure to performance, it proposes design principles for advanced elastomeric systems that combine mechanical properties ...

Nano‐Architected Metallic Metamaterial With Enhanced Fatigue Resistance via Dislocation Starvation

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale Ni single crystals exhibit remarkable fatigue resistance over an order of magnitude higher than that of bulk single crystals through dislocation starvation. By translating this mechanism into geometric nano‐architecture, nano‐architected Ni single‐crystal metamaterials achieve about twice the fatigue resistance of the bulk, despite their ...

Soft Yet Tough Tanglemers Through Rapid Photopolymerization for DLP 3D Printing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Soft yet tough tanglemers are produced through low‐initiator free radical photopolymerization and translated to DLP 3D printing. Systematic control over light intensity, initiator loading, and crosslink density reveals processing windows that balance printability, elasticity, toughness, and feature fidelity. ABSTRACT Additive manufacturing of compliant

Enhanced Mechanical Recycling of Polymer Mixtures by a Trifunctional Dynamic Crosslinker

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A self‐catalyzed, trifunctional dynamic crosslinker that incorporates three desired properties into one system and is compatible with reactive extrusion can compatibilize waste plastic mixtures containing high Tm polymers and impart the recycled mixtures with superior thermoset properties such as enhanced creep resistance and thermomechanical stability
