Linking Polyelectrolyte Modification and Enzyme‐Catalyzed Phenolic Acid Functionalization of Cellulose Fiber for Functional Foams

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Cellulose fibers functionalized using cationic poly(Dimethyldiallylammonium chloride) (polyDADMAC) and laccase‐mediated ferulic acid system are processed into foams using different surfactants (Anionic, cationic, and non‐ionic). Fiber–surfactant interactions influence foam stabilization and porous structure formation during convective drying, producing

Programming Actuation in 3D‐Printed Micro‐Architectures via Interfacial Adhesion Control

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐phase meniscus‐guided 3D printing method directly fabricates microscale poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) bilayers with in situ programmable interfaces. Modulating the meniscus stretching speed switches the interface between separated and bonded states, which controls the mechanical ...

Spatial Stiffness Programming in Single‐Filament Material Extrusion Through Data‐Driven Thermal Foaming

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Single‐filament material extrusion enables spatial stiffness programming through locally controlled thermal foaming of TPU. A data‐driven G‐code framework tunes porosity from 15.7% to 40.7% and hardness from 90 to 63 Shore A within and across layers. Monolithic hands and soft actuators consequently achieve distinct programmed motions without material ...

Two‐Dimensional Isotropic Spatial Differentiation Through Complete Polarization Control

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
This work enables two‐dimensional isotropic spatial differentiation at planar interfaces over a wide range of incident angles by extending the output polarization from linear to elliptical. The choice of incident angle can be used to balance broader spectral response at low angles and higher edge‐detection efficiency at larger angles.

Pointlike Material Accumulation and Displacement in Azopolymer Thin Films Driven by Spatial Light Modulation

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A maskless, SLM‐driven approach enables the deterministic inscription of arbitrary topographical features in azopolymer films by mapping complex vectorial light fields onto local viscoplastic stress. This platform allows for the rapid generation and dynamic erasure of high‐aspect‐ratio micro‐spikes, offering a versatile tool for reconfigurable flat ...

High‐Stress Si3N4 Reflective Membranes Monolithically Integrated With Cavity Bragg Mirrors

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Silicon nitride membranes are record‐breaking mechanical sensors, yet their delicate fabrication and alignment into precision optical cavities have confined them to the laboratory. A monolithic process directly integrates suspended high‐stress Si3N4${\rm Si}_{3}{\rm N}_4$ membranes onto Bragg mirrors, forming self‐aligned optomechanical cavities in ...

Multiple Scattering Model for the Coherent Optical Response of Correlated Disordered Plasmonic Metasurfaces

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Disordered plasmonic metasurfaces enable advanced control over light scattering through disorder engineering. A theoretical model based on multiple scattering theory is developed to predict the coherent reflection and transmission of light from disordered metasurfaces with arbitrary pair correlations.

Massively Degenerate Coherent Perfect Absorption in Gradient‐Index Fibers

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
A coherent perfect absorber (CPA) normally operates for only one or very few spatial modes. The CPA proposed here uses a gradient‐index (GRIN) fiber to absorb hundreds of spatial modes at once, its self‐imaging property replacing the bulky free‐space degenerate cavity of earlier designs. An analytic criterion sets how much modal degeneracy is required,

Post‐Deposition Photonic Curing Treatment for Improved Sb2Se3 Photovoltaic Performance

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Millisecond‐scale photonic curing overcomes the open‐circuit voltage deficit in Sb2Se3 solar cells by transforming the rear interface. This ultrafast treatment enhances crystallographic texture and smooths the absorber surface, suppressing interfacial recombination and boosting power conversion efficiency to 8.2%.
