Nature has developed protein‐based adhesives whose underwater performance has
attracted much research attention over the last few decades. The adhesive proteins are rich …

Adaption and self‐healing are two major principles in material science, often coupled with
the placement of supramolecular moieties within a material. Proper molecular design can …

Soft polymer networks have seen an explosion of recent developments motivated by new
high tech applications in the biomedical field or in engineering. We present a candid and …

The advances in understanding the dynamics of both the physically and chemically
reversible networks are summarized from a rheological perspective. The focus is placed on …

The performance degradation of electrochemical energy storage devices such as batteries
is one of the largest challenges hindering their many practical applications. Develo** …

Synthetic hydrogels are unique tissue mimics but rarely reproduce the strain‐stiffening
properties of native tissues. This mechanical mismatch impairs the performance of hydrogels …

Conspectus Hydrogen bonds (H-bonds) constitute highly relevant structural units of
molecular self-assembly. They bridge biological and synthetic sciences, implementing …

We present an experimental investigation of the curing kinetics and viscoelasticity for a
number of “vitrimers” recently developed by Leibler and coworkers. 1–3 Vitrimers are …

Traditional polyetherimides (PEIs) are commonly synthesized from an aromatic diamine and
an aromatic dianhydride (eg, 3, 4′-oxidianiline (ODA) and 4, 4′-oxidiphtalic anhydride …

Many of the fascinating properties of natural materials emerge upon phase separation and
clustering. However, biomimetic polymeric materials often demonstrate limited performances …
