Explores polymer mechanochemistry, focusing on modulating chemical transformations in polymers using mechanical forces, covering topics like breaking bonds, mechanophores, and force-responsive materials.
Discusses how polymer structure affects crystallinity and the propensity of polymers to crystallize, distinguishing between amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers.
Explores the behavior, properties, and applications of polyelectrolyte hydrogels, including swelling, deformation, stress-strain behavior, and mechanical properties, as well as self-healing and assembly processes.
