Conventional covalent and supramolecular crosslinks impose inherent trade-offs between mechanical robustness and environmental adaptability in polymer networks. Mechanically interlocked junctions offer an alternative route by enabling topological motion without compromising structural integrity. Here, a modular approac...
Polymeric materials are central to modern technologies, with applications ranging from energy to health and transportation. Although AI has made significant advances in materials discovery, the hierarchical structure of polymers across multiple length scales makes them inherently difficult to represent in a unified and...

Cooperative dynamics in soft materials such as colloidal suspensions, gels, and polymers stem from complex surface interactions and structural heterogeneities, driving behaviors such as yielding, failure, and avalanches. In X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy (XPCS), these dynamics manifest as localized decorrelation...
