Article Abstract
Soft, 3D elastomeric structures and composite structures are easy to fabricate using click-e-bricks, and the internal architecture of these structures together with the capabilities built into the bricks themselves provide mechanical, optical, electrical, and fluidic functions.

Circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) has emerged as a critical technology for anticounterfeiting and optical display applications due to its unique chiroptical properties. We report a multicolor CPL-emitting elastomeric film (P37/PSK@SiO-PDMS) that synergistically combines chiral helical polyacetylene (P37) and a surface-engineered perovskite (PSK@SiO) through hydrogen-bond-directed assembly. Confinement within the PDMS matrix drives P37 to self-assemble into a chiral supramolecular structure through hydrogen bonding, inducing a chiroptical inversion.

In this paper, a strain-temperature sensor with medium-high stretchability is proposed for aeronautic applications. The elastomer is conceived to be used as a protective cover on a morphing airfoil characterized by high curvatures. The main novelties in design and manufacturing compared to the state of the art are: use of a non-commercial, low-viscosity PDMS crosslinked with TEOS and DBTDL to enable effective graphene dispersion; innovative sensor design featuring an insulating interlayer on the substrate; and presence of micro-voids to enhance adhesion to the substrate.

The incorporation of multiple supramolecular interactions as sacrificial bonds for energy dissipation has emerged as a powerful strategy to enhance the mechanical properties of elastomeric materials. However, precise control over energy dissipation pathways remains challenging, primarily due to the difficulty in selectively activating specific interactions on demand. Herein, we present an orthogonal self-assembly strategy that integrates host-guest recognition and metal-coordination to tailor energy dissipation mechanisms.

Nature provides a palette of materials with properties ranging from strong and tough to flexible and elastomeric. Resilin, a protein in insects, can generate resilient elastomers cross-linked at tyrosine residues. These elastomers rival or exceed the properties of synthetic materials, making it desirable to mimic the natural system.

The development of safe, high-performance solid-state electrolytes remains a central challenge for advancing lithium metal batteries (LMBs) toward practical deployment. Inspired by the durable, deformable nature of rubber tires, we report the design and preparation of a self-adaptive solid-state elastomeric electrolyte containing a deep eutectic electrolyte, termed PMEC, which integrates molecular-level plasticizer dispersion, mechanical flexibility, and interfacial adaptivity. The PMEC membrane exhibits high ionic conductivity (2.
