The majority of materials 3D printed using vat photopolymerization techniques are prepared
by uncontrolled polymerization methods and cannot be easily modified to introduce …

The materials of future depend a lot on properties that are due to “non stable” molecules.
Hence, Dynamic Covalent Bonds (DCB) are covalent bonds that are labile under specific …

Abstract 4D printing has attracted tremendous interest because of its potential applications
in smart devices, biomedical and tissue engineering. However, conventional shape memory …

Predicting wavelength-dependent photochemical reactivity is challenging. Herein, we revive
the well-established tool of measuring action spectra and adapt the technique to map …

The marriage of liquid crystal elastomers with dynamic covalent chemistry can be a new
paradigm for the development of dynamic and intelligent polymers with versatile …

Vinyl polymers have become ubiquitous products in our modern world, thanks to their
exceptional strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals, all of which result from their …

Engineering coatings with precise physicochemical properties allows for control over the
interface of a material and its interactions with the surrounding environment. However …

We introduce a photochemical bond forming system, where two colours of light are required
to trigger covalent bond formation. Specifically, we exploit a visible light cis/trans …

Reversible pattern systems, namely pattern memory surfaces, possessing tunable
morphology play an important role in the development of smart materials; however, the …

Ultrathin films of end‐tethered polymers, generally indicated as polymer brushes, have
gained great interest for their ability to modify the surface interaction with the surrounding …
