Rewriting Polymer Fate via Chemomechanical Coupling

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a life‐like “living” polymer platform that can grow, degrow, and reprogram its properties after fabrication. By integrating mass transport, reversible polymerization, and controlled catalysis, the material achieves on‐demand changes in size, shape, and mechanical properties.

Tin Oxide‐Anchored MXene Composites for Enhanced Hydrogen Evolution in Alkaline Media

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
The schematic illustrates a SnO2/MXene heterostructure for efficient hydrogen evolution. SnO2 nanoparticles are uniformly anchored on conductive MXene nanosheets, enhancing charge transfer and catalytic activity. The MXene substrate provides high electrical conductivity and abundant active sites, while SnO2 facilitates water adsorption and dissociation.

Impact of Paper Substrates and Storage Conditions on the Stability of Blood Grouping Assays

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Four paper‐based blood grouping assays are constructed from cellulose and nitrocellulose, with vertical and lateral flow formats. The optimal storage conditions are determined based on temperature, antibody storage buffer composition, and antibody dilution.
