Realizing full-color room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) under aqueous conditions remains a significant challenge due to the inherent difficulty of stabilizing hydrophobic phosphors within water-based matrices, let alone for unmodified commercial hydrophobic aromatic compounds. In this work, we introduce a versatile glassy hydrogel platform engineered through a solvent exchange-induced nanoscale phase separation strategy, which enables the stable encapsulation of various commercial aromatic compounds within a rigid polymer network. The resulting hydrogels exhibit tunable full-color RTP with long-lived lifetimes, enhanced emission underwater, and outstanding mechanical robustness.

Comminuted patellar fractures are rare in pediatric populations, often resulting from high-energy trauma such as sports or road accidents. Surgical management is essential to restore the articular surface and extensor mechanism of the knee. However, achieving anatomical reduction and rigid fixation can be challenging, potentially leading to poor functional outcomes.

Objectives: This study developed a near-infrared (NIR) light-responsive shape-memory plant-based resin bone scaffold via ultraviolet-assisted direct ink writing (UV-DIW) to address limitations in existing acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) scaffolds, including mismatched glass transition temperature (Tg) with physiological conditions and reliance on external heat sources.
Methods: Polydopamine-modified hydroxyapatite (HA@PDA) particles were blended into liquid AESO to prepare four composite inks with HA@PDA mass fractions of 0 % (AESO), 5 % (A5), 10 % (A10), and 15 % (A15). Bone scaffolds were fabricated using UV-DIW technology at 0 °C.

Soft continuum robots have garnered much attention due to their inherent compliance and interaction ability in complex scenarios. However, the absence of rigid supports in them often causes deformation or instability under large external loads, significantly limiting their applications. Here, we propose a solution that integrates origami-inspired modules with variable-stiffness hinges into soft continuum robots via 3D printing to enable both high load-bearing capacity and versatile deformation.

The development of room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) in multi-stimulus-responsive shape memory materials for applications in information encryption and anti-counterfeiting presents a significant challenge. Here, we introduce a cardanol-based polymer system containing N-coordinated bicyclic boronic esters, which exhibit stable, long-lived RTP and respond to multiple stimuli, including heat, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared (IR) light. This is achieved through a well-designed copolymer structure that integrates rigidity and dynamic covalent networks by adjusting the N-coordination with the bicyclic boronic ester linkage, and the material can be engineered for self-healing and recyclability.
