Chain‐End Grafting of RAFT Polyelectrolyte Macroligands to Stabilize Near‐Infrared‐Emitting Gold Nanoclusters

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Surface‐functionalized gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) are synthesized in situ by chain‐end grafting of RAFT polyelectrolytes at room temperature directly in water. It leads to highly stable polymer‐AuNCs nanohybrids emitting near‐infrared photoluminescence with µs lifetimes. ABSTRACT With their photoluminescence properties, gold nanoclusters (AuNCs, d<2 nm)

Exploring a Ugi‐Mediated Polymerization‐Induced Self‐Assembly Approach to Peptoid Particles

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Ugi‐mediated polymerization‐induced self‐assembly (U‐PISA) enables the one‐pot synthesis of PEG‐stabilized polypeptoid nanoparticles under mild aqueous conditions. By tuning PEG molar mass and feed composition, tunable spherical and worm‐like nano‐objects are obtained.

RAFT Copolymerization of DMAEA and AETAC Toward Charge‐Shifting Copolymers With Tunable Heparin Complexation

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
Copolymers based on charge‐shifting (DMAEA) and permanently charged (AETAC) cationic acrylates were copolymerized via the RAFT process to achieve polycations with well‐defined composition. Moderate content of AETAC did not affect hydrolysis rates but significantly enhanced heparin binding.

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

open access: yesMacromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.
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%.

Design and Multibody Dynamics Modeling of a Novel High‐Static‐Low‐Dynamic‐Stiffness Vibration Isolation Mechanism Based on Euler Buckling Characteristics

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vibration isolation has long been a critical area of research, with the design of isolators based on the mechanical properties of Euler buckling beams representing one of the primary approaches. Traditionally, the focus has been on utilizing the negative stiffness characteristics of a post‐buckled Euler beam in parallel with positive stiffness

A dramaturgy of uncertainty: Transdisciplinary manoeuvres across forestry and theatre

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The uncertainties of climate change mean that forestry adaptation strategies are often complex and contested. Research has suggested that there is an interest in the forestry sector for facilitated dialogue about uncertainty (de Pellegrin Llorente et al., 2023).
