Conjugated Polymers Engineered for Flexible/Stretchable Electronics

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This review highlights glass transition temperature (Tg) as the central parameter linking molecular structure to device performance in conjugated polymers. By tuning backbone rigidity, side‐chain architecture, and dynamic bonding, Tg governs the balance between π–π stacking–enabled charge transport and mechanical compliance.

Dual‐Responsive Hydrogels Engineer Anisotropic Cellular Microenvironment to Modulate Stem Cell Organization and Fate

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Collagen peptides hydrogels with tunable mechanical dynamics were developed by employing physical or chemical nanoparticle crosslinkers. Dual‐responsive hydrogels with magnetic‐driven alignment were fabricated under a low magnetic field and rapid UV exposure. The presence of biophysical anisotropy, enhanced biomechanical dynamics, and growth factors—as
