Abstract
Colorless, transparent, and mechanically robust aramid polymers are synthesized from two diamine monomers with strong electron-withdrawing groups, using low-temperature solution condensation with diacid chloride. The aramids dissolved very well in the liquid acrylamide monomers. When N,N-dimethylacrylamide (DMA) is used as a reactive diluent, films with the desired features are produced from the hybrid aramid-DMA resins via ultraviolet (UV) curing. The hybrid films are colorless and transparent in the visible region and showed an increase in the glass transition temperature, tensile strength, and elastic modulus in proportion to the aramid content. Laminated glass is manufactured using the hybrid resin as an interlayer, which exhibits very strong adhesion between the two sheets of glass, is not easily broken by an external impact, and do not scatter fragments. Moreover, the laminated glass do not distort images and functioned very effectively in UV blocking, soundproofing, and suppressing changes in the ambient temperature. Heat treatment further improves the light transmittance and impact resistance of the laminated glass. Laminated glass specimens with various fluorescence colors are also manufactured. Aramid-reinforced films prepared using N,N-diethylacrylamide as a reactive diluent underwent thermally induced phase separation in a wet state, providing smart glass with a privacy protection function.

Abstract
Despite its disordered liquid-like structure, glass exhibits solid-like mechanical properties1. The formation of glassy material occurs by vitrification, preventing crystallization and promoting an amorphous structure2. Glass is fundamental in diverse fields of materials science, owing to its unique optical, chemical and mechanical properties as well as durability, versatility and environmental sustainability3. However, engineering a glassy material without compromising its properties is challenging4-6. Here we report the discovery of a supramolecular amorphous glass formed by the spontaneous self-organization of the short aromatic tripeptide YYY initiated by non-covalent cross-linking with structural water7,8. This system uniquely combines often contradictory sets of properties; it is highly rigid yet can undergo complete self-healing at room temperature. Moreover, the supramolecular glass is an extremely strong adhesive yet it is transparent in a wide spectral range from visible to mid-infrared. This exceptional set of characteristics is observed in a simple bioorganic peptide glass composed of natural amino acids, presenting a multi-functional material that could be highly advantageous for various applications in science and engineering.

Abstract
Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a transparent amorphous polymer often used to protect fragile surfaces such as glass or photovoltaic panels. The polymer is then packaged in the form of adhesive sheets and bonded to the surfaces. The transport and retention of water in PVB are crucial properties to understand as they modulate the polymer's adhesion properties. In this work, we propose a detailed experimental study of water diffusion and sorption in PVB over a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels in the surrounding atmosphere. Using spectroscopic and gravimetric measurements, our study elucidates how the diffusion coefficient varies with temperature or vapor concentration and provides the activation energy for this process. In addition, dynamic vapor sorption experiments reveal (i) a strong dependence of sorption on hydroxyl group (-OH) concentration and (ii) that the solubility of vapor in PVB decreases with temperature. This enables us to trace the heat of the solution of water in PVB. A comparison of the thermodynamic data obtained with those for water in volume and with the engaged species induced clustering model supports the microscopic view of water organization in PVB in the form of clusters induced by hydrogen bonding.

An Integrated Characterization Strategy on Board for Recycling of poly(vinyl butyral) (PVB) from Laminated Glass Wastes. Polymers (Basel) 2023; 16:10.

Abstract
Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is widely used as an interlayer material in laminated glass applications, mainly in the automotive industry, but also for construction and photovoltaic applications. Post-consumed laminated glass is a waste that is mainly landfilled; nevertheless, it can be revalorized upon efficient separation and removal of adhered glass. PVB interlayers in laminated glass are always plasticized with a significant fraction in the 20-40% w/w range of plasticizer, and they are protected from the environment by two sheets of glass. In this work, the aim is to develop a thorough characterization strategy for PVB films. Neat reference PVB grades intended for interlayer use are compared with properly processed (delaminated) post-consumed PVB grades from the automotive and construction sectors. Methods are developed to open opportunities for recycling and reuse of the latter. The plasticizer content and chemical nature are determined by applying well-known analytical techniques, namely, FT-IR, TGA, NMR. The issue of potential aging during the life cycle of the original laminated material is also addressed through NMR. Based on the findings, a sensor capable of directly sorting PVB post-consumer materials will be developed and calibrated at a later stage.

Abstract
Proteins of thermophiles are thermally stable in a high-temperature environment, adopting a strategy of enhancing the electrostatic interaction in hydrophobic media at high temperature. Herein, inspired by the molecular mechanism of thermally stable proteins, the synthesis of novel polymer materials that undergo ultrarapid, isochoric, and reversible switching from soft hydrogels to rigid plastics at elevated temperature is reported. The materials are developed from versatile, inexpensive, and nontoxic poly(acrylic acid) hydrogels containing calcium acetate. By the cooperative effects of hydrophobic interaction and ionic interaction, the hydrogels undergo significant spinodal decomposition and subsequent rubbery-to-glassy transition when heated to an elevated temperature. As a result, the gels exhibit super-rapid and significant hikes in stiffness, strength, and toughness by up to 1800-, 80-, and 20-folds, respectively, when the temperature is raised from 25 to 70 °C, while the volumes of the gels are almost unchanged. As a potential application, the performance of the materials as athletic protective gear is demonstrated. This work provides a pathway for developing thermally stiffened materials and may significantly broaden the scope of polymer applications.
