Conventional room temperature phosphorescence (RTP) polymer materials lack a dynamic structural change mechanism for on-demand phosphorescence emission, limiting their application in specific scenarios, such as smart devices. However, the development of RTP polymer materials with an on-demand emission capability is highly attractive yet rather challenging. Herein, we report a novel RTP polymer material that doped purely organic chromophores into a polymer network with numerous free hydroxyl side chains. This unique polymer material can be 3D printed with RTP activated through thermal-triggered nonequilibrium transesterification, where on-demand phosphorescence emission is achieved because of the increased cross-linking degrees such that the thermal motion of chromophores is effectively restricted. As a result, ultralong RTP emission is successfully observed due to enhanced stiffness in the polymer network. Importantly, the modulus changes of the polymer during nonequilibrium transesterification are intuitively visualized based on the intensity of phosphorescence emission. Through liquid crystal display (LCD) 3D printing, complex shaped and multimaterial structured objects are demonstrated, targeting the information encryption of printed objects and on-demand regional emission of multicolored phosphorescence. This study would provide an avenue to control RTP with on-demand emission and contributes to the field of anticounterfeiting and detection applications for intelligent RTP materials.

Energy loss (Eloss) between optical energy gap (Eg) and open-circuit voltage (eVoc) sets efficiency upper limits for organic solar cells (OSCs). Nevertheless, further breaking the limit of Eloss in OSCs is challenging, especially via structurally simple materials in binary OSCs. Herein, a structurally simple non-halogenated polymer donor, namely PBDCT, is developed for realizing high-efficiency OSCs with record-breaking Eloss.

The relationship between the structure and function of condensed matter is complex and changeable, which is especially suitable for combination with machine learning to quickly obtain optimized experimental conditions. However, little research has been done on the effect of temperature on condensed matter and how it affects device performance because the difference between the in situ physical property parameters (which are lowered by the surface tension and mixing entropy) and the basic parameters of the bulk makes accurate AI predictions difficult. In this work, P3HT/ITIC was chosen as the donor/acceptor material for the active layer of organic phototransistors (OPTs).

The self-assemblies of topological complex block copolymers, especially the AB type miktoarm star ones, are fascinating topics in the soft matter field, which represent typical self-assembly behaviors analogous to those of biological membranes. However, their diverse topological asymmetries and versatile spontaneous curvatures result in rather complex phase separations that deviate significantly from the common mechanisms. Thus, numerous trial-and-error experiments with tremendous parameter space and intricate relationships are needed to study their assemblies.

Traditional wood-plastic composites (WPC) face numerous challenges in their applications, such as the lack of flexibility, cushioning performance, water barrier properties, biodegradability and recyclability. To address these issues, in this work, a recyclable lignocellulosic biocomposites with excellent comprehensive performance was developed using cork flour and poly(1,4-dioxan-2-one) (PPDO) as the green raw materials. The prepared cork/PPDO WPC contained up to 70 wt% cork flour, conferring them with enhanced flexibility (elongation at break >10 %) and cushioning performance due to the strong interactions between PPDO and cork flour, as well as the cork unique flexibility from cork cavity structure and suberin.

The synthesis of monomers with two epoxy structures (EIA) was successfully achieved by adopting holo-biobased feedstocks and in situ solvolysis reaction. The molecular structure of EIA was subjected to characterization through the use of infrared spectroscopy (IR), mass spectrometry (MS), and nuclear magnetic resonance hydrogen spectroscopy (H NMR). The EIA was employed as the epoxy monomers for the synthesis of the grafted compatibilizer, resulting in the successful preparation of a fully bio-based and high epoxy value grafted compatibilizer (PLA-g-EIA (PLE)).
