Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) filaments are fabricated through extrusion with in‐process UV curing, enabling controlled flow alignment and network locking of mesogens. The resulting structure responds to thermal or optical stimuli, inducing molecular reorientation and macroscopic contraction.

Polycarbonate Vitrimers and Dynamic Co‐Networks From Epoxide/Carbon Dioxide Copolymerization
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, EarlyView.This work demonstrates how CO2‐derived poly(propylene carbonate) and poly(cyclohexene carbonate) backbones influence vitrimer thermo‐mechanical behavior. By tuning backbone composition, epoxide crosslinker chemistry and blend ratios, the crosslinked materials span a wide property window, from highly extensible to stiff, glassy networks, establishing an

Development and Experimental Validation of a Bistable SMA Active Grill Shutter Actuator
Macromolecular Symposia, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study explores the use of bistable shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators in active grille shutters (AGS) to improve vehicle aerodynamics. The actuator, designed for adaptive movement, was tested and refined to achieve a reliable 90° rotation.

Transferable Hot‐Deformation Flow‐Curve Modeling Across Steels Through Transfer Learning
Materials Genome Engineering Advances, EarlyView.We propose a transferable sequence model that moves steel hot‐deformation ML beyond the “one‐case, one‐model” paradigm. Pretrained across compositions/windows and personalized with four extreme‐condition curves, it improves accuracy and robustness in 10‐fold evaluation.
