Highly Entangled Bottlebrush Polymer Networks
Bottlebrush polymers are difficult to entangle, enabling ultrasoft yet brittle networks. We report highly entangled bottlebrush elastomers that remain ultrasoft (∼1 kPa) yet stretch to ∼1800% and exhibit exceptional fatigue resistance. Their intrinsic fatigue strength—fatigue threshold normalized by modulus—surpasses that of highly entangled linear ...

Field‐programmed anisotropy imparts material‐level intelligence to soft composites. Magnetic torque dynamics drive magneto‐piezoelectric nanowires from random dispersion into deterministic axial alignment. The resulting hierarchical percolation networks confine electromechanical coupling to specific axes and intrinsically decouple superposed force ...

The synergistic integration of rigid polyacrylamide (PAM) and flexible poly(N,N‐dimethylacrylamide) (PDMA) phases offers exceptional toughness to suppress lithium dendrites, simultaneously enhancing mechanical strength and ionic conductivity. ABSTRACT Gel polymer electrolytes for lithium‐metal batteries face an inherent trade‐off between mechanical ...

True Closed‐Loop Recyclable Hydrogels Enabled by Imine Boronic Ester Crosslinking
Subtle molecular differences in imine boronic ester crosslinkers profoundly influence hydrogel properties. 2‐formylphenylboronic acid crosslinkers form previously undisclosed 3‐amino‐benzoxaborole heterocycles, enhancing elasticity despite lower crosslinking density compared to their 4‐formylphenylboronic acid counterparts.
