Photoreversible Polyurea Actuators With Spatiotemporal Control and Adaptive Mechanics

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A light–thermal responsive polyurea network incorporating reversibly dimerizable anthracene units enables spatiotemporal modulation of cross‐linking density and nearly 400‐fold stiffness tuning. Integrating programmable anisotropy, photopatterning, self‐healing, and photowelding within a single framework, this bioinspired “one network–multifunction ...

Rubber Recycling Calendar

, 2015
An estimated 17 million tonnes of tires are discarded annually. Re-use is achieved by retreading (9%), recycling (39%), energy recovery (37%) and landfill (5%). A preferred, but complex way of recycling is to make new tires from discarded tire rubber.
