Tailoring the Properties of Chemically Recyclable Polyethylene‐Like Multiblock Polymers by Modulating the Branch Structure

Abstract Developing plastics that fill the need of polyolefins yet are more easily recyclable is a critical need to address the plastic waste crisis. However, most efforts in this vein have focused on high‐density polyethylene (PE), while many different types of PE exist. To create broadly sustainable PE with modular properties, we present the synthesis, characterization, and demonstration of materials applications for chemically recyclable PE‐like multiblock polymers prepared from distinct hard and soft blocks using ruthenium‐catalyzed dehydrogenative polymerization. By altering the branching pattern within the soft blocks, a series of PE‐like multiblock polymers were synthesized with tunable glass transition temperatures ( T g ) while maintaining consistent high melting temperatures ( T m ). A clear U‐shape trend between T g and mechanical properties was found, showcasing their potential as sustainable materials with tailored properties spanning commercial linear low‐density polyethylene (LLDPE) and low‐density polyethylene (LDPE). These materials offer adjustable adhesive strength to metal and demonstrate chemical recyclability and selective depolymerization in mixed plastic streams, promoting circularity and separation.

Leveraging peptide–cellulose interactions to tailor the hierarchy and mechanics of peptide–polymer hybrids

Inspired by spider silk's hierarchical diversity, we leveraged peptide motifs with the capability to tune structural arrangement for controlling the mechanical properties of a conventional polymer framework. The addition of nanofiller with hydrogen bonding sites was used as another pathway towards hierarchical tuning via matrix–filler interactions. Specifically, peptide–polyurea hybrids (PPUs) were combined with cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) to develop mechanically-tunable nanocomposites via tailored matrix–filler interactions (or peptide–cellulose interactions). In this material platform, we explored the effect of these matrix–filler interactions on the secondary structure, hierarchical ordering, and mechanical properties of the peptide hybrid nanocomposites. Interactions between the peptide matrix and CNCs occur in all of the PPU/CNC nanocomposites, preventing α-helical ordering, but promoting inter-molecular hydrogen bonded β-sheet formation. Depending on peptide and CNC content, the Young's modulus varies from 10 to 150 MPa. Unlike conventional cellulose-reinforced polymer nanocomposites, the mechanical properties of these composite materials are dictated by a balance of CNC reinforcement, peptidic ordering, and microphase-separated morphology. This research highlights that leveraging peptide–cellulose interactions is a strategy to create materials with targeted mechanical properties for a specific application using a limited selection of building blocks.

Design of biphenylene-derived tunable dirac materials

The exploration of carbon allotropes has unveiled a series of two-dimensional (2D) materials with unique electronic and mechanical properties, yet the need for stable structures with tailored electronic properties persists. Here, in this study, we introduce a new class of 2D carbon allotropes derived from the biphenylene network (BPN), incorporating acetylenic linkages to tune their structural and electronic characteristics. Through density functional theory calculations, we identified ten novel BPN-derived structures that exhibit both energetic and dynamic stability, confirmed by cohesive energy and phonon spectrum analyses. Among them, BPN-02 and BPN04 are metallic, featuring critically-tilted type-III Dirac cones under ~ 5 % biaxial strain, while BPN-22 is a semiconductor with a band gap of 0.95 eV and exhibits highly anisotropic carrier mobility. Additionally, these structures demonstrate significant anisotropy in their elastic properties, further distinguishing them from other 2D carbon materials like graphene. Our findings suggest that these novel BPN-based structures have strong potential for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic applications, providing new avenues for the design and synthesis of advanced carbon materials.

Unveiling Synergetic Photocatalytic Activity from Heterometallic Ti/Ce Clusters

Titanium-oxo clusters, with their robust structure and suitable optical and electronic properties, have been widely investigated as photocatalysts. Heterometallic Ti/M-oxo clusters provide additional tunability and functionality, which enable systematic structure-activity investigations to elucidate reaction mechanisms and improve catalyst de-sign. Incorporating cerium into Ti-oxo clusters can provide additional redox (Ce IV /Ce III ) and oxygen harvesting ability, but to date only limited number of structurally defined titanium-cerium (Ti/Ce) clusters have been reported due to their synthetic challenges. Herein, we report the synthesis and photocatalytic properties of two structurally defined Ti/Ce-oxo clusters, Ti 8 Ce 2 (BA) 16 and Ti 9 Ce 4 (BA) 20 , as well as a TiCe-BA cluster with a calculated formula of Ti 20 Ce 9 O 36 (BA) 42 . Photocatalytic study of these clusters demonstrates that the amount of Ce 3+ species greatly impacts its photocatalytic oxidation performance, and their superior photocatalytic reactivity towards aerobic alcohol oxidation can be contributed to the synergistic effects of the multiple radical species generated upon light absorption. Furthermore, this work represents a significant milestone in the construction of stable Ti/Ce-oxo clusters, enriching the current library of known heterometallic Ti/M-oxo clusters, and providing a series of crystalline materials with great promise of photo-luminescence and photovoltaic chemistry.

High-performance nanodevices based on WGe 2⁢ N 4 monolayer

Two-dimensional (2D) 𝑀⁢𝐴 2 ⁢𝑍 4 -family monolayers (MLs) have emerged as promising semiconductors due to their element tunability and rich electronic and optoelectronic properties. In this work, using first-principles calculations, we investigate the electronic, mechanical, transport, and optoelectronic properties of WGe 2⁢ N 4 ML with a small indirect bandgap. Various nanodevices based on WGe 2 ⁢N 4 ML are studied, including pn-junction diodes, pin-junction field-effect transistors (FETs), and phototransistors. The present results reveal that the WGe 2⁢ N 4 ML exhibits high rigidity, thermal stability, and remarkable light absorption. These nanodevices demonstrate excellent performance: (1) the pn-junction diode shows a high rectification ratio and a near-Shockley-limit ideality factor, (2) the pin-junction FET exhibits significant gate voltage modulation capability with subthreshold swing as low as 71 mV/dec (close to the theoretical limit calculated based on the Boltzmann distribution), and (3) the phototransistor displays strong optoelectronic responses in the visible and ultraviolet regions. Furthermore, these findings establish WGe 2 ⁢N 4 ML as a versatile platform for developing high-performance, multifunctional nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices, significantly expanding the application potential of 𝑀⁢𝐴 2⁢ 𝑍 4 -family materials.

Tunable Metamaterials for Impact Mitigation

Traditional methods of shielding fragile goods and human tissues from impact energy rely on isotropic foam materials. The mechanical properties of these foams are inferior to an emerging class of metamaterials called plate lattices, which have predominantly been fabricated in simple 2.5-dimensional geometries using conventional methods that constrain the feasible design space. Here in this work, additive manufacturing is used to relax these constraints and realize plate lattice metamaterials with nontrivial, locally varying geometry. The limitations of traditional computer-aided design tools are circumvented and allow the simulation of complex buckling and collapse behaviors without a manual meshing step. By validating these simulations against experimental data from tests on fabricated samples, sweeping exploration of the plate lattice design space is enabled. Numerical and experimental tests demonstrate plate lattices absorb up to six times more impact energy at equivalent densities relative to foams and shield objects from impacts ten times more energetic while transmitting equivalent peak stresses. In contrast to previous investigations of plate lattice metamaterials, designs with nonuniform geometric prebuckling in the out-of-plane direction is explored and showed that these designs exhibit 10% higher energy absorption efficiency on average and 25% higher in the highest-performing design.

Penta-SiCN: A Highly Auxetic Monolayer

We report the negative Poisson’s (NPR) ratio in a two-dimensional (2D) material is a counterintuitive mechanical property that facilitates the development of nanoscale devices with sophisticated functionality. Inspired by the peculiar buckled lower-symmetric, trilayered geometry of pentagonal monolayers, we theoretically predict penta-SiCN, a ternary auxetic metallic monolayer with highly tunable NPR. The penta-SiCN is structurally, thermally, dynamically, and mechanically stable, and sustainable at and beyond room temperature with experimental feasibility. It possesses nontrivial geometrical and mechanical isotropy and relatively moderate thickness. Remarkably, the shorter and quasi sp3-hybridized C–N bond and the rigidity against the strain allow the monolayer to possess a high value of NPR (-0.136), even higher than that of black phosphorene, extendable up to -0.639 by 4% of biaxial stretching. On the other hand, the 2D Young’s modulus of 129.88 N/m decreases to 41.34 N/m at equivalent stretching, indicating relative softening and flexibility. Interestingly, a buckled-to-planar phase transition is identified at 10% biaxial strain before it suffers the fracture at 16%. Additionally, the strong optical anisotropy, absorbance (up to 6.51 x 105 cm -1 ), and presence of plasmon frequency demonstrate its potential application in optomechanical and plasmonics.

Deep Eutectic Solvents: A Review of Fundamentals and Applications

Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are an emerging class of mixtures characterized by significant depressions in melting points compared to those of the neat constituent components. These green materials are promising for applications as inexpensive ’designer’ solvents exhibiting a host of tunable physicochemical properties. Here, a detailed review of the current literature reveals the lack of predictive understanding of the microscopic mechanisms that govern the structure-property relationships in this class of solvents. Complex hydrogen bonding behavior is postulated as the root cause of their melt-ing point depressions and physicochemical properties; to understand these hydrogen bonded networks, it is imperative to study these systems as dynamic entities using both simulations and experiments. This review emphasizes recent research efforts in order to elucidate the next steps needed to develop a fundamental framework for understanding DESs. It covers recent developments in DES research, frames outstanding scientific questions, and identifies gainful research thrusts that would advance the field towards predictive models and fundamental understanding of these solvents.

Cooperative control of a DNA origami force sensor

Abstract Biomolecular systems are dependent on a complex interplay of forces. Modern force spectroscopy techniques provide means of interrogating these forces, but they are not optimized for studies in constrained environments as they require attachment to micron-scale probes such as beads or cantilevers. Nanomechanical devices are a promising alternative, but this requires versatile designs that can be tuned to respond to a wide range of forces. We investigate the properties of a nanoscale force sensitive DNA origami device which is highly customizable in geometry, functionalization, and mechanical properties. The device, referred to as the NanoDyn, has a binary (open or closed) response to an applied force by undergoing a reversible structural transition. The transition force is tuned with minor alterations of 1 to 3 DNA oligonucleotides and spans tens of picoNewtons (pN). The DNA oligonucleotide design parameters also strongly influence the efficiency of resetting the initial state, with higher stability devices (≳10 pN) resetting more reliably during repeated force-loading cycles. Finally, we show the opening force is tunable in real time by adding a single DNA oligonucleotide. These results establish the potential of the NanoDyn as a versatile force sensor and provide fundamental insights into how design parameters modulate mechanical and dynamic properties.

Harnessing the Spin-Flip Radiative Lifetimes of Optically Addressable Molecular Qubits

Optically addressable molecular qubits based on spin-flip (SF) emissive transitions are promising candidates for quantum technologies due to their sharp luminescence lines and tunable optical-spin interfaces. Yet, the microscopic mechanisms controlling the spin-flip radiative lifetime of SF emitters, a key property for efficient spin readout, remain largely unexplored. Here, we present a computational study of several Cr 4+ and Mo 4+ pseudotetrahedral molecular qubits, and we identify chemical and structural features that influence the transition dipole moment associated with the SF emission, which, in turn, governs the SF radiative lifetime. We find that the magnitude of the dipole moment is governed by the multireference character of the spin-flip excited-state wave function, which can be modulated by tuning the energy separation between the d orbitals of the metal and the spin-pairing energy. Both parameters are sensitive to molecular symmetry, metal–ligand bond covalency, and bond anisotropy and leave room for modulation via ligand and metal design, as well as applied strain, which is relevant for sensing applications. Our findings provide a mechanistic framework for understanding and tuning the spin-flip radiative behavior of molecular qubits and SF emitters that may guide future advances in quantum information science.

Direct ink write multi-material printing of PDMS-BTO composites with MWCNT electrodes for flexible force sensors

Here, with recent advances of additive manufacturing technology, direct ink write (DIW) printing has allowed to incorporate multi-material printing of various materials with freedom of design and complex geometric shapes to complete functional sensors in a one-step fabrication. This paper introduces the use of DIW 3D printing of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with barium titanate (BTO) filler as stretchable composites with tunable piezoelectric properties that can be used for force sensors applications. To improve the bonding between stretchable piezoelectric composites and electrodes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes was included in the fabrication of electrodes at a fixed ratio of 11 wt. %. The alignment of the BTO dipoles was achieved through corona poling method, which applies an electric charge on the surface layer of the functional material, aligning the dipoles in the desired direction and thus gaining the piezoelectricity. Different BTO mixing ratios (10–50 wt. %) were evaluated in order to obtain tunable piezoelectric properties and compare the sensitivity with respect their elastic properties. Tensile testing and piezoelectric testing were carried out to characterize mechanical and piezoelectric properties. Results showed that fabricated PDMS with 50 wt. % BTO gave the highest piezoelectric coefficient (d 33 ) of 11.5 pC N -1 and with an output voltage of 385 mV under compression loading of >200 lbF. This demonstrates feasibility of using multi-material DIW printing to fabricate piezoelectric force sensors with integrated electrodes in one-step without compromising the flexibility of the material.

Semiconductor-compatible topological digital alloys

Recently, GeSn alloys have attracted much interest for direct-gap infrared photonics and as potential topological materials which are compatible with the semiconductor industry. However, for photonics, the high-Sn content required leads to low detectivity, associated with poor material quality, and the (>35 %) Sn required for topological properties have been out of reach experimentally. Here, we demonstrate that by patterning the Sn distribution within Ge, the electronic properties have a far greater tunability than is possible with the random alloy. For the GeSn δ-digital alloy (DA) formed by confining Sn atoms in atomic layer(s) along the [111] direction of Ge, we show that ∼ 10 % Sn can lead to a triple-point semimetal. These findings are understood in terms of Sn ordering causing spatial separation of Sn and Ge band edges, leading to band inversion. This mechanism can also lead to a weak topological insulator, Weyl semimetal, and enables tunable direct bandgaps down to 2 meV, covering the entire infrared range. This DA induced topological properties are also identified in compound semiconductors, such as InAs 1-x Sb x , showing the general applicability of the DA design for realizing topological properties on conventional semiconductor platforms. Furthermore, our findings not only point to a new class of currently unexplored topological systems accessible by epitaxy, but also establish the promise of low-Sn GeSn DAs for application as infrared laser diodes and photodetectors in Si photonic integrated circuits and infrared image sensors.

Self-Assembly Driven Microlithography via Near-Infrared Light Activation

Current vat photopolymerization (VP) relies on UV or visible light to start the rapid crosslinking of liquid photocurable resins into 3D-printed structures. Here, we develop a self-assembly-driven photopatterning approach to photothermally generate polymeric solids by combining thermoplasmonic nanoparticles and thermoresponsive polymers, in which near-infrared (NIR) light activates thermoplasmonic heating of nanoparticles, triggering the irreversible self-assembly of thermoresponsive polymers into insoluble mesoglobules. A small amount of thermal initiator and crosslinker leads to irreversible self-assembly of polymer nanocomposites. NIR light offers deeper penetration and reduced scattering compared to UV, enabling more uniform curing of thicker or filled materials and expanded process control for composites or opaque systems. Thermoplasmonic heat generation is achieved using surface-modified gold nanorods (AuNRs) with a longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance peak in the NIR region. Key variables such as polymer composition, molecular weight, physical interactions at the nanoparticle–polymer interface, which can be tuned by surface functionalization, AuNR concentration, and pH can be used to tailor the assembly behavior of these systems, including photothermal effect, flocculation, and cloud point temperature, and the mechanical properties of the final structures. Collectively, these results highlight a platform for photothermally-driven microlithography of polymer solids with diverse, tunable macroscopic properties, enabled by low-energy NIR light-activated self-assembly.

Tailored Silicone Network Architecture for Ultimate Mechanical Reinforcement

Hydrosilylation cured silicone elastomers are subject to reaction inefficiency, leading to incomplete and non-uniform crosslink networks, restricting the potential of mechanical reinforcement. This work investigates pre-synthesized, functional PDMS architectures as additives to improve ultimate mechanical performance relative to conventional single-step curing. Three custom, functional structures were prepared: a partially crosslinked PDMS scaffold (Structure A), a bottle-brush PDMS (Structure B), and a star-shaped PDMS derived from an MQ resin (Structure C). Rheological characterization was used to identify the ultimate design space and proper stoichiometric ratio for Structure A, and confirm successful formation of all structures for suitable incorporation into a base silicone formulation at 30wt%. Mechanical tests indicated that all three structures increased in ultimate tensile strength relative to their single-step counterparts, with Structure A providing additional improvements to toughness (432 vs. 258 kJ/m3) and ultimate elongation (158 vs. 115%). Furthermore, Structure B remained very soft in the unfilled state, while Structure C provided hardness (23 vs. 18 Shore A) and stiffness (780 vs. 420 kPa Young’s modulus) increases. In silica filled systems, Structure A retained increased strength but reduced elongation, while Structure B indicated strong reinforcement in terms of strength, toughness, and stiffness. Thermal analysis on the cure profiles of these materials suggested that pre-formation of network architectures enable a more complete reaction than a single-step process (15.9 vs. 15.1 J/g). Ultimately, these results indicate that tailoring PDMS architecture before the final cure can improve ultimate mechanical properties via improved network development in silicone elastomers. Furthermore, this work offers a promising strategy for designing higher-performance, more tunable silicone formulations.

Chain Dynamics in Magnetorheological Suspensions

Magnetorheological (MR) suspensions are composed of colloidal particles which acquire dipole moments when subjected to an external magnetic field. At sufficient field strengths and concentrations, the dipolar particles rapidly aggregate to form long chains. Subsequent lateral cross-linking of the dipolar chains is responsible for a rapid liquid-to-solid-like rheological transition. The unique, magnetically-activated rheological properties of MR suspensions make them ideal for interfacing mechanical systems to electronic controls. Additionally, the ability to experimentally probe colloidal suspensions interacting through tunable anisotropic potentials is of fundamental interest. Our current experimental work has focused on understanding the fluctuations of dipolar chains. It has been proposed by Halsey and Toor (HT) that the strong Landau-Peierls thermal fluctuations of dipolar chains could be responsible for long-range attractions between chains. Such interactions will govern the long-time relaxation of MR suspensions. We have synthesized monodisperse neutrally buoyant MR suspensions by density matching stabilized ferrofluid emulsion droplets with D2O. This allows us to probe the dynamics of the dipolar chains using light scattering without gravitational, interfacial, and polydispersity effects to resolve the short-wavelength dynamics of the dipolar chains. We used diffusing wave spectroscopy to measure these dynamics. The particle displacements at short times that show an independence to the field strength, but at long times exhibit a constrained, sub-diffusive motion that slows as the dipole strength is increased. The experiments are in good qualitative agreement with Brownian dynamics simulations of dipolar chains. Although there have been several important and detailed studies of the structure and interactions in MR suspensions, there has not been conclusive evidence that supports or contradicts the HT model prediction that long-range interactions exist between fluctuating chains of dipolar particles. Resolving this issue would contribute greatly to the understanding of these interesting and important materials. We have begun to test the predictions of the HT model by both examining the dynamics of individual chains and by measuring the forces between dipolar chains directly to accurately and quantitatively assess the interactions that they experience. To do so, we employ optical trapping techniques and video-microscopy to manipulate and observe our samples on the microscopic level. With these techniques, it is possible to observe chains that are fluctuating freely in three-dimensions, independent of interfacial effects. More importantly, we are able to controllably observe the interactions of two chains at various separations to measure the force-distance profile. The techniques also allow us to study the mechanical properties of individual chains and chain clusters. Our work to this point has focused on reversibly-formed dipolar chains due to field induced dipoles where the combination of this chaining, the dipolar forces, and the hydrodynamic interactions that dictate the rheology of the suspensions. One can envision, however, many situations where optical, electronic, or rheological behavior may be optimized with magneto-responsive anisotropic particles. Chains of polarizable particles may have the best properties as they can coil and flex in the absence of a field and stiffen and orient when a field is applied. We have recently demonstrated a synthesis of stable, permanent paramagnetic chains by both covalently and physically linking paramagnetic colloidal particles. The method employed allows us to create monodisperse chains of controlled length. We observed the stability, field-alignment, and rigidity of this new class of materials. The chains may exhibit unique rheological properties in an applied magnetic field over isotropic suspensions of paramagnetic particles. They are also useful rheological models as bead-spring systems. These chains form the basis for our current experiments with optical traps.

Nanodiamonds in Advancing Biomedical Sciences

Nanodiamonds (NDs), tetrahedral carbon frameworks with size ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers, have gained growing attention in recent years due to their distinct optical, thermal, and mechanical properties compared to other carbon nanomaterials (e.g., graphene, carbon nanotubes, carbon dots). Combined with a high surface-to-volume ratio and tunable and chemically versatile surfaces, these support broad applications across catalysis, electronics, and life sciences. Moreover, the biocompatible characteristics of NDs enable their controllable interfacial interactions with biological systems, positioning them as excellent candidates for advancing cutting-edge biomedical sciences, particularly through the engineering of efficient material-biointerfaces that facilitate optimal interactions with biological systems. Among various forms of NDs, fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) have emerged as some of the most impactful and rapidly advancing materials, demonstrating strong potential in ultrasensitive spin-enhanced bioimaging, high-precision biosensing, traceable drug delivery, and quantum-enabled biomedical technologies. This Perspective introduces the key principles underlying NDs and FNDs, including their structural properties, synthesis methods, and surface functionalization strategies. It also highlights emerging biomedical applications of NDs and FNDs, with particular emphasis on neurological disorders. Last, the article discusses current challenges in advancing NDs as a multifunctional platform for neural therapies with translational potential toward clinical trials.

Modeling of Magnetic Properties of Magnetorheological Elastomers Using JA Hysteresis Model

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are composite materials that consist of magnetically permeable particles in a nonmagnetic polymeric matrix. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, a reversible deformation change occurs in the mechanical properties of these materials. Due to their coupled magnetomechanical response, these materials have been found suitable for a range of applications including tunable vibration absorbers, sensors, and actuators. Notably, improvement of such devices are prerequisites to efficient energy conversion systems, hence the need to understand further the MRE technology. The Jiles-Atherton (JA) theory takes into consideration the magneto-coupling experienced by effective domains in a magnetic material. Algorithm based on the theory yields five model parameters; saturation magnetization (M s ), domain density (a), domain coupling (α), loss coefficient (k), and reversibility (c). Using JA theory, model parameters were calculated and linked to the physical attributes of Fe powder and isotropic MRE. The results show that the calculated Ms for the MRE is reasonably related to that of the Fe powder by a factor of the particle's volume fraction used in the MRE. Further, the calculated k, a, and α provided support for the reduced pinning factor, domain density, and increased domain coupling in the MRE due to the changes in the domain structure between the two materials. From the calculated JA parameters, finite-element modeling (FEM) of the MRE hysteresis loop was performed. The analysis showed that the modeled magnetic properties including coercivity, remanence, and coordinates of the hysteresis loop tip vary with geometric position.
