Abstract: Hydrogels find important roles in biomedicine, wearable electronics and soft robotics, but their mechanical properties are often unsatisfactory. Conventional tough hydrogel designs are based on hydrophilic networks with sacrificial bonds, while incorporation of hydrophobic polymers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/advs.202200072
Abstract: Fogging on optical devices may severely impair vision, resulting in unacceptable adverse consequences. Hydrophilic coatings can prevent surface fogging by instantly facilitating pseudo‐film water condensation but suffer from short antifogging duration due to water film… read more here.

DOI: 10.1126/science.abo0356
Abstract: In many reactions restricted by water, selective removal of water from the reaction system is critical and usually requires a membrane reactor. We found that a simple physical mixture of hydrophobic poly(divinylbenzene) with cobalt-manganese carbide… read more here.
