Due to excellent physical and chemical stability, the novel designed fluorine‐free polymers with aliphatic‐chain backbones (SP‐PAC12‐QP) are regarded as promising and universal alternatives to perfluorosulfonic acid membranes. Their performances are further improved by physical reinforcement, where the fuel cell performance under high temperature and ...

Matrix Stiffness Governs Fibroblasts’ Regulation of Gingival Immune Homeostasis
This study identifies a “mechano‐epigenetic” checkpoint in which matrix stiffness governs the immune responses of gingival fibroblasts. Using biomimetic hydrogels and human gingival explants, the studies revealed that restoring extracellular matrix stiffness actively suppresses inflammation via non‐canonical NF‐κB signaling and DNA methylation ...

Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites
Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...
