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 ...

Synergistic Design of Composite Ionogels With Enhanced Thermoelectric Properties, Mechanical Stretchability, and Sustainable Recyclability

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
While flexible TE devices hold promise for converting low‐grade waste heat (e.g., from human skin or electronics) into usable electricity, existing materials suffer from three major limitations: 1) poor mechanical stretchability (failing to match human skin's elongation, ~20–30%), limiting wearability; 2) tradeoffs between thermoelectric efficiency (e ...

Simultaneous Enhancement of Mechanical and Dielectric Performance of Polypropylene Composites by Introducing an External Elastic Crystal

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
A hierarchical crystalline structure for recyclable polypropylene insulation in high‐voltage cables is presented. This architecture integrates rigid isotactic polypropylene spherulites with an elastic crystalline network to balance load‐bearing capacity and ductility.

Laser‐Textured Field‐Engineered Interface for Robust Dry‐Processed Cathodes in Lithium‐Ion Batteries

ENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Laser‐patterned dry electrodes applied to current collectors could serve as a promising alternative to the limitations of conventional dry electrodes. Laser technology provides a fast and simple method to enhance the surface roughness of current collectors, improving the adhesion at the electrode–current collector interface.

Shaking Table Tests and Numerical Analysis of Rocking Vault‐Shaped Segmental Piers Equipped With an Annular Double Sliding System

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT To enhance the structural robustness of bridges, a rocking arch‐shaped segmental pier with a double sliding system was previously proposed as a low‐cost solution to protect bridges in developing countries. The rocking behavior is triggered by halting the sliding motion, which increases the horizontal load‐bearing capacity and limits ...
