Programmable Photothermal Hydrogel Actuators Enabled by Adhesion
Macromolecular Chemistry and Physics, Volume 227, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.We report a one‐step strategy for constructing photothermal hydrogel actuators by directly bonding conductive polymer films to thermoresponsive hydrogels through electrophoretic adhesion. This approach enables robust interfacial bonding, simplified fabrication, and precise control of bending direction and deformation modes under laser irradiation ...

Self-consistent field theory for obligatory coassembly [PDF]
, 2008 We present a first-order model for obligatory coassembly of block copolymers via an associative driving force in a nonselective solvent, making use of the classical self-consistent field (SCF) theory.

Stimuli‐Responsive Chemical Systems That Mimic Biological Dynamics
Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 1, 2 January 2026.Chemists are designing synthetic systems that mimic life's dynamic behaviors, such as motion, sensing, adaptation, and compartmentalization, by integrating reaction networks with stimuli like light, pH, and chemical fuels. This mini‐review surveys molecular machines, responsive materials, nucleic acid networks, and artificial cells, highlighting how ...

Tunable Synthetic Hydrogel Modulates Hepatic Lineage Specification of Human Liver Organoid
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 7, 22 January 2026.In this study, a synthetic hydrogel is reported that supports the formation of hiPSC‐derived human liver organoids (HLOs). Hepatic lineage specification can be modulated via conjugation of RGD peptide to hydrogel: RGD‐conjugated hydrogels promote cholangiocyte differentiation, whereas RGD‐free hydrogels favor hepatocyte commitment of HLO cells.
