Article Abstract
Incorporating dynamic covalent bonds into block copolymers provides useful molecular level information during mechanical testing, but it is currently unknown how the incorporation of these units affects the resultant polymer morphology. High-molecular-weight polyisobutylene-b-polystyrene block copolymers containing an anthracene/maleimide dynamic covalent bond are synthesized through a combination of postpolymerization modification, reversible addition-fragmentation chain-transfer polymerization, and Diels-Alder coupling. The bulk morphologies with and without dynamic covalent bond are characterized by atomic force microscopy and small-angle X-ray scattering, which reveal a strong dependence on annealing time and casting solvent. Morphology is largely unaffected by the inclusion of the mechanophore. The high-molecular-weight polymers synthesized allow interrogation of a large range of polymer domain sizes.

Modifying cells to achieve desired functions has attracted extensive attention in bioengineering and bio-manufacturing. Approaches based on cell-surface engineering have the potential to endow cells with multiple functions and also create a protective shell around them. However, such shells are generally irreversible and lack functionality, leading to various drawbacks associated with irreversible dynamics.

Selenium, as an important semiconductor material, exhibits significant potential for understanding lattice dynamics and thermoelectric applications through its thermal transport properties. Conventional empirical potentials are often unable to accurately describe the phonon transport properties of selenium crystals, which limits in-depth understanding of their thermal conduction mechanisms. To address this issue, this study developed a high-precision machine learning potential (MLP), with training datasets generated molecular dynamics simulations.

The reversible covalent bond formation that underpins dynamic covalent chemistry (DCC) enables the construction of stimuli-responsive systems and the efficient assembly of complex architectures. While most DCC studies have focused on systems at thermodynamic equilibrium, there is growing interest in systems that operate away from equilibrium-either by shifting to a new free-energy landscape in response to a stimulus, or by accessing an out-of-equilibrium state following an energy input. Imine-based systems are especially attractive due to the accessibility of their building blocks and their dynamic behavior in both condensation and transimination reactions.

Multifunctional materials that simultaneously possess intrinsic magnetic and superhard properties, particularly those composed of light elements, have a wide range of applications in advanced sensors, shielding, durable devices, and other fields. However, research on the development and understanding of such materials remains limited. In this study, a series of 3D C covalent networks derived from the C fullerene precursor were theoretically designed.

The discovery of new weak supramolecular interactions and supramolecular synthons is essential for directing self-assembly processes with enhanced precision, diversity, and functionality in complex molecular architectures. Here, we report the controlled self-assembly of diverse supramolecular architectures by a new directional bonding approach through the integration of radical-based dynamic covalent chemistry and supramolecular synthons. A novel macrocyclic synthon, , with a linear direction is constructed via radical-based dynamic covalent bonds from the phenothiazine building block substituted with two dicyanomethyl radicals.
