Click chemistry is one of the most powerful strategies for constructing polymeric soft
materials with precise control over architecture and functionality. In this review, we provide a …

Transition metal carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides (MXenes) have recently attracted
notable attention in tribology and, particularly solid lubrication, due to their low shear …

The translation of small molecule chemistries into efficient methodologies for polymer
functionalization spans several decades, enabling critical advances in soft matter materials …

Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to their surrounding environment. These polymers are
capable of responding to a variety of external stimuli, which include optical, electrical …

This review summarizes the past present, and future developments of isocyanate chemistry
for polyurethane coatings and adhesives. Over the past 60 years, this field was driven by …

Reversible addition–fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization is an increasingly
popular method of controlled radical polymerization and remarkable advances is made in …

The design of sustainable self‐healing phase change materials (SHPCMs) remains
challenging depending on sustainable fatty alcohols without compromising high enthalpy …

Here, we describe a simple method to prepare oil-repellent surfaces with inherent reactivity.
Liquid-like copolymers with pendant reactive groups are covalently immobilized onto …

In this review we aim to provide an introductory guide to blocked isocyanates, through
discussion on different examples of blocking groups, along with experimental considerations …

The development of chain‐growth click polymerization is challenging yet desirable in
modern polymer chemistry. In this work, we reported a novel chain‐growth click …
