Flexible sensors based on MXene-polymer composites are highly prospective for next-
generation wearable electronics used in human–machine interfaces. One of the motivating …

Linear chains in thermoplastics make them relatively weak in performance but inherently
weldable and recyclable. By contrast, thermosets with permanently crosslinked networks …

Covalent adaptable networks (CANs), comprising polymer networks crosslinked by dynamic
covalent bonds (DCBs), have garnered considerable attention as sustainable materials …

Less than 10% of plastics are recycled worldwide, among which polyolefins, which form two-
thirds of all produced polymers, are the most discarded ones. This stems from the nonpolar …

Additive manufacturing is a promising technology that can directly fabricate structures with
complex internal geometries, which is barely achieved by traditional manufacturing …

Liquid crystalline elastomers are regarded as a kind of desirable soft actuator material for
soft robotics and other high-tech areas. The isotropization temperature (Ti) plays an …
