Reconciling mechanical robustness with controlled end-of-life degradability represents a central challenge in the design of sustainable polymeric materials. Here, we develop a solvent-free in situ ring-opening polymerization strategy for incorporating size-specific cyclic poly(phenylene sulfide) macrocycles (c[n]PS,...

Designing sustainable polymer materials that combine mechanical robustness with recyclability remains a significant challenge. Here, we report a cellulose-based Diels–Alder (DA) cross-linked network that integrates structural strength, thermoreversible recyclability, and tunable biodegradability. Cellulose was functi...
This study investigates the incorporation of cellulose as a bio-based modifier into polyurethane foam and its effects on molecular interactions, morphology, thermal behavior, and mechanical performance. Polyurethane foam was synthesized using polypropylene glycol (PPG 2000), toluene diisocyanate (TDI), water, and cellu...

Plastics have become indispensable in modern life, yet their end-of-life waste continues to accumulate, causing severe environmental pollution and posing risks to ecosystems and human health. This urgent challenge has driven the development of sustainable plastics as alternatives to conventional persistent plastics, am...

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels capable of reversible volume change are promising materials for soft actuators, sensors, and biomedical systems. However, conventional poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels typically exhibit slow thermal responses due to limited water transport and the formation of a dense skin...
