Poly(2-nonyl-2-oxazoline-block-2-ethyl-2-oxazoline) block copolymer micelles were investigated as an alternative system to the approach proposed by He and Lodge (Y. He and T. P. Lodge, J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2006, 128, 12666) for the thermoreversible transfer of micelles between a hydrophobic ionic liquid phase and an aqueous phase; this work describes the possibility of thermally triggering and controlling this process.

The thermal electrocyclic ring opening of fused -cyclobutene to ,-diene is prohibited according to the Woodward-Hoffmann (WH) rules; nonetheless, experiments provide firm evidence for their formation. However, the mechanism, electronic structure, and behavior during the reaction are ambiguous. Herein, we attempt to gain insights into the mechanism of thermal ring opening in four -heterocycles containing a conjugated diene as the core skeleton.

Article Synopsis
- Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) is a biodegradable heat-responsive polymer commonly used in safe consumer products like food and medicine, which changes behavior with temperature due to hydrophilic and hydrophobic bonds.
- This study explored a display system using HPC's thermoreversible phase transition by applying localized near-infrared (NIR) lasers to control temperature, enhanced by cesium tungsten oxide (CTO) for heat generation and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for efficient heat transfer.
- The resulting NIR-writing CTO-CNT-HPC display demonstrated rapid responsiveness, making it suitable for applications like interactive advertising, navigation, and public announcements.

Sterically-stabilized diblock copolymer nanoparticles comprising poly(propylene oxide) (PPO) cores are prepared via reverse sequence polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) in aqueous solution. '-Dimethylacrylamide (DMAC) acts as a cosolvent for the weakly hydrophobic trithiocarbonate-capped PPO precursor. Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization of DMAC is initially conducted at 80% w/w solids with deoxygenated water.

Polymer hybrid materials that contain reinforcements with a preferred orientation have received growing attention because of their unique properties and promising applications in multifunctional fields. Herein, anisotropic poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)/MXene hybrid aerogels with highly ordered delaminated MXene nanosheets and anisotropic porous structures were successfully fabricated by unidirectional freezing of thermoreversible gels followed by a freeze-drying process. The strong interfacial interactions between PVDF chains and abundant functional groups on the surface of MXene enabled the orientation of MXene nanosheets at the boundaries of ice crystals as the semicrystalline PVDF and delaminated MXene nanosheets are squeezed along the freezing direction.
