New MONET publication in Science: Toughening hydrogels through force-triggered chemical reactions that lengthen polymer strands science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

New MONET publication in Science! Cyclobutane-based mechanophore cross-linkers that break through force-triggered cycloreversion lead to networks that are up to nine times as tough as conventional analogs. science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

"Nonlocal Intrinsic Fracture Energy of Polymerlike Networks" appears in Physical Review Letters. We show that the intrinsic fracture energy of polymer-like networks is due to nonlocal dissipation, different from the classical Lake-Thomas model. journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…

Big thanks to my PI Prof. Stephen Craig, and Dr. Yangju Lin! We successfully showed that the mechanochemical deconstruction can be achieved in the network by simply compressing it! Curious how we did it? Please check it out ⏬️

Our recent publication in PRX unveils a universal scaling law to predict the fracture energy of polymer-like networks. This discovery opens up possibilities for designing mechanical metamaterials with unprecedented fracture resistance. Chase Hartquist Shu Wang 王澍 Xuanhe Zhao
