TL;DR: It is demonstrated that light can switch the Tg of azobenzene-containing polymers (azopolymers) and induce reversible solid-to-liquid transitions of the polymers, providing a new strategy for designing healable polymers with high Tg and allowing for control over the mechanical properties of polymer with high spatiotemporal resolution.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explored the fouling mechanisms based on classical fouling models, and on oil droplet behaviors (such as droplet deposition, accumulation, coalescence and wetting) on the membranes.

TL;DR: Based on the observation that the magnetic chains are strongly coupled to the surrounding polymer network, a simplified model is developed to describe their buckling behavior and a coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation model leading to morphologies in agreement with the experimentally observed buckling effects.

TL;DR: Reversible assembly of Janus particles was manipulated by host-guest interaction of β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and azobenzene and the superstructures were reversibly disassembled by adding α-CD or light irradiation.

TL;DR: In this paper, a highly stretchable and sensitive multifunctional piezoresistive sensor was reported, which contains micro-cracked and hollowed-out polyaniline (PANI) foams which are supported by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS).
