Toward Pore‐Engineered 3D‐Printed Materials for Sorption Water Harvesting, Interfacial Evaporation, and Radiative Cooling

Advanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 61, 2 November 2026.
Water harvesting, radiative cooling, and interfacial solar evaporation are fundamentally governed by coupled heat, mass, and light transport processes. These processes are mediated by pore architecture, including pore size, connectivity, and hierarchical organization.

Cononsolvency‐Assisted Fabrication of Hydrogels and Microgels With Tunable Porosity, Diffusivity and Stiffness

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
The cononsolvency of poly(dimethyl acrylamide‐co‐hydroxyethyl acrylamide) copolymers in water‐acetonitrile mixtures enables the synthesis of hydrogels with finely tuned porosity. Optimized for droplet‐based microfluidics, this approach facilitates the fabrication of porous microgels with tunable mechanical and diffusion properties, offering precise ...

Solvent‐Tuned DLP 3D‐Printed PNVCL Hydrogels With Enhanced Thermoresponse

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
DLP 3D printing of PNVCL hydrogels remains challenging due to a trade‐off between printability and thermoresponsive performance. Here, DEG‐tuned P(NVCL‐DVA) organohydrogels were successfully 3D‐printed and subsequently solvent‐exchanged with water. The optimized hydrogels exhibited interconnected porous structures, high water uptake and rapid thermo ...

Thermoresponsive Gel‐Yarn Composites Enable Low‐Temperature Tensile Actuation in Twisted and Coiled Polymer Artificial Muscles

Macromolecular Rapid Communications, Volume 47, Issue 21, 6 November 2026.
Thermoresponsive gel–yarn composites integrate poly(MAA‐co‐OEGMA) hydrogels with twisted and coiled polyester yarns to enable reversible tensile actuation between 25°C and 50°C. Hydrogel swelling and deswelling generate internal stresses that drive lengthwise actuation, achieving isotonic strains up to 39%.
