Rubber‐Glass‐Crystal Triple Phase Transition in Polyacrylamide Hydrogels and Environment‐Adaptive Shape Memory Effect

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
By analyzing the thermal‐mechanical properties and molecular‐scale interactions in polyacrylamide (PAAM) hydrogels, this research demonstrates a rubber‐glass‐crystal phase transition under the combined stimuli of temperature and moisture. Because of these hybrid phase transitions, PAAM hydrogels exhibit shape memory behavior in thermal and moist ...

Solvent‐Tuned DLP 3D‐Printed PNVCL Hydrogels With Enhanced Thermoresponse

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
DLP 3D printing of PNVCL hydrogels remains challenging due to a trade‐off between printability and thermoresponsive performance. Here, DEG‐tuned P(NVCL‐DVA) organohydrogels were successfully 3D‐printed and subsequently solvent‐exchanged with water. The optimized hydrogels exhibited interconnected porous structures, high water uptake and rapid thermo ...

Thermoresponsive Gel‐Yarn Composites Enable Low‐Temperature Tensile Actuation in Twisted and Coiled Polymer Artificial Muscles

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
Thermoresponsive gel–yarn composites integrate poly(MAA‐co‐OEGMA) hydrogels with twisted and coiled polyester yarns to enable reversible tensile actuation between 25°C and 50°C. Hydrogel swelling and deswelling generate internal stresses that drive lengthwise actuation, achieving isotonic strains up to 39%.
