Responsive Polyelectrolyte Brushes in Applications: Functions, Stimuli, and Design Considerations
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.With advances in the synthesis of polyelectrolyte brushes, these coatings of surface‐grafted chains find uses in an increasing number of applications. This review summarizes three core aspects of these brushes: how they introduce functionality to surfaces; how external stimuli influence their properties; and what practical considerations should be ...

Force‐Induced Selective Carbon‐Carbon Bond Cleavage in Mechanoresponsive Topochemical Polymers
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A new class of mechanoresponsive polymers based on polybiidenedionediyl (PBIT) derivatives exhibits distinct color changes upon mechanical stimuli such as grinding, milling, and compression. The response arises from depolymerization and backbone conjugation changes.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for
