Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs), especially those based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO), have garnered significant attention in the field of all-solid-state lithium batteries due to their high processability and low cost, advantages that are typically hard to achieve with their inorganic counterparts. However, the poor ionic conductivities have retarded their further applications in all-solid-state

We report the synthesis of dual-stimuli degradable poly(vinyl ether)s with cleavable thioacetal and carbonate bonds evenly distributed in the main chains using cationic degenerative chain-transfer (DT) copolymerization of vinyl ethers with macrocyclic thioacetal carbonates (CTAC). The 22- and 26-membered cyclic thioacetal carbonates (22-CTAC and 26-CTAC) were initially synthesized by a cationic thiol-ene

Ionogels are conductive soft matter with ionic liquids as conductive media, exhibiting significant potential as multifunctional materials. Over the past two decades, ionogels have been developed for applications in sensors, actuators, supercapacitors, lithium-ion batteries, adhesives, antifouling coatings, nanotriboelectric generators, thermoelectric devices, etc. To achieve recyclability that is advantageous

Magnetic polymers show great potential in biomedical, electronic devices and magnetic responsive materials. The structure and property relationship are very important in design of organic magnetic polymers. In this work, core-shell magnetic bottlebrush polymers (PS-b-QPDMA[FeCl4]) with polystyrene as core block and magnetic poly(ionic liquid)s (QPDMA[FeCl4]) as shell block is prepared by ring-opening
