Heterografted molecular brushes comprising three different brushes were synthesized based on the Br-acrylate-epoxide multivalent monomer strategy, which enabled the fabrication of 2D platelets and the stabilization of different emulsions.
A novel adhesive with NIR-driven photoresponsiveness and reusability was developed through the integration of core–shell UCNPs and siloxane main-chain azobenzene molecular photoswitches.
New solid electrolytes with liquid crystalline structures were fabricated. The ionic conductivity of a double gyroid-structured one was as high as 1.64 × 10−4 S cm−1 at ambient temperature.
The effects of chiral stereocenter distance, side chain steric hindrance, and polymer liquid crystallinity on the construction of chiral structure in side-chain azobenzene polymers with flexible main chains are investigated.
The shape memory effects and photoinduced deformation behaviour of interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) films containing azobenzene liquid-crystalline polymers were investigated.
