Abstract
Gel polymer electrolytes (GPEs) represent a credible alternative to organic liquid electrolytes (LEs) for safer sodium metal batteries. As a compromise between solid polymer electrolytes and LEs, GPEs ensure a good ionic conductivity, improve the electrolyte/electrode interface, and prevent solvent leaks. Herein, a GPE based on acrylate-bifunctionalized polyethylene glycol chains mixed with an ether solvent (TEGDME) and a polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEG600DA) in a 50/50 wt % ratio was prepared by ultraviolet photopolymerization. Sodium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide salt (NaFSI) was added at different concentrations to study its interactions with the solvent and/or the cross-linked polymer. Infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, and swelling ratio characterizations were combined to determine the physicochemical properties of the GPE. Complementary characterizations including electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, chronopotentiometry, and cyclic voltammetry allowed correlating the physicochemical properties of the GPE to its electrochemical performance. Then, improvements were obtained by careful combination of its components. The cross-linking agent allowed us to obtain a polymer matrix that traps the organic solvent and prevents leakage. Such a solvent inclusion reduces the rigidity of the membrane and lowers its viscosity, offering a room temperature ionic conductivity of 4.8 × 10-4 Ω-1 cm-1. The control of polymer's tortuosity leads to a stable cycling vs sodium metal over several hundred hours without increase of the polarization. Finally, optimization of the salt loading plays a major role in electrostatic cross-linking, leading to an improvement of the mechanical properties of the GPE without reducing its conductivity.

Abstract
Nanocomposite gels consist of nanoparticles dispersed in a gel matrix. The main aim of this work was to develop nanocomposite gels for topical delivery of Flurbiprofen (FB) for humans and farm animals. Nanocomposite gels were prepared stemming from nanoparticles (NPs) freeze-dried with two different cryoprotectants, D-(+)-trehalose (NPs-TRE) and polyethylene glycol 3350 (NPs-PEG), sterilized by gamma (γ) irradiation, and gelled with Sepigel® 305. Nanocomposite gels with FB-NPs-TRE and FB-NPs-PEG were physiochemically characterized in terms of appearance, pH, morphological studies, porosity, swelling, degradation, extensibility, and rheological behavior. The drug release profile and kinetics were assessed, as well as, the ex vivo permeation of FB was assessed in human, porcine and bovine skin. In vivo studies in healthy human volunteers were tested without FB to assess the tolerance of the gels with nanoparticles. Physicochemical studies demonstrated the suitability of the gel formulations. The ex vivo skin permeation capacity of FB-NPs nanocomposite gels with different cryoprotectants allowed us to conclude that these formulations are suitable topical delivery systems for human and veterinary medicine. However, there were statistically significant differences in the permeation of each formulation depending on the skin. Results suggested that FB-NPs-PEG nanocomposite gel was most suitable for human and porcine skin, and the FB-NPs-TRE nanocomposite gel was most suitable for bovine skin.

Abstract
Polymer crystallization drastically changes the physical properties of polymeric materials. However, the crystallization in polymer networks has been little explored. This study investigated the crystallization behavior of a series of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) networks consisting of well-defined branched precursors. The PEG networks were prepared by drying gels synthesized at various conditions. The PEG networks showed slower crystallization with lower final crystallinity than uncrosslinked PEGs with amine end groups. Surprisingly, the effect of network formation was not as significant as that of the relatively bulky end-groups introduced in the uncrosslinked polymer. The molecular weight of the precursor PEG, or equivalently the chain length between neighboring junctions, was the primary parameter that affected the crystallization of the PEG networks. Shorter network chains led to lower crystallization rates and final crystallinity. This effect became less significant as the network chain length increased. On the other hand, the spatial and topological defects formed in the gel synthesis process did not affect the crystallization in the polymer networks at all. The crystallization in the polymer networks seems insensitive to these mesoscopic defects and can be solely controlled by the chain length between junctions.

Abstract
The effect of catalysts with varying nucleophilic strength on thiol-thioester bond exchange dynamics and concomitant crystallization was studied in a model semicrystalline polymer network. It was found that the characteristic time scale of covalent bond exchange, τ, could be tuned over a ∼101-103 s range simply by changing the nucleophilicity of the catalyst. Using isothermal crystallization measurements via differential scanning calorimetry, thermodynamic and kinetic features of crystallization were considered. A depression in melting temperature was observed with increasing bond exchange rate, suggesting a dependence of crystalline organization on network dynamics. Furthermore, a systematic slowing of crystallization kinetics with faster covalent bond exchange rates was observed. Lauritzen-Hoffman analysis showed a near doubling in the barrier for secondary nucleation for dynamic networks, suggesting that that bond exchange slows crystallization by limiting secondary nucleation and further growth. Finally, longitudinal DSC studies reveal a long-term increase in melting temperature for samples held at ambient temperature with bond exchange activated at room temperature, indicating that while bond exchange slows crystallization on short time scales it facilitates isothermal long-term crystal rearrangement and growth on longer time scales.

Abstract
We compare the low-strain mechanical properties of bottlebrush elastomers (BBEs) synthesized using ring-opening metathesis and free radical polymerization. Through comparison of experimentally measured elastic moduli and those predicted by an ideal, affine model, we evaluate the efficiency of our networks in forming stress-supporting strands. This comparison allowed us to develop a structural efficiency ratio that facilitates the prediction of mechanical properties relative to polymerization chemistry (e.g., softer BBEs when polymerizing under dilute conditions). This work highlights the impact that polymerization chemistry has on the structural efficiency ratio and the resultant mechanical properties of BBEs with identical side chains, providing another "knob" by which to control polymer network properties.

Abstract
Herein it is reported how the overlap concentration (C*) can be used to overcome crosslinking due to diol impurities in commercial PEG, allowing for the synthesize of bottlebrush polymers with good control over molecular weight. Additionally, PEG-based bottlebrush networks are synthesized via ROMP, attaining high conversions with minimal sol fractions (<2%). The crystallinity and mechanical properties of these networks are then further altered by solvent swelling with phosphate buffer solution (PBS) and 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethyl sulfate/DCM cosolvents. The syntheses reported here highlight the potential of the bottlebrush network architecture for use in the rational design of new materials.

Abstract
We demonstrate bioenabled crack-free chiral nematic films prepared via a unidirectional flow of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in the capillary confinement. To facilitate the uniform long-range nanocrystal organization during drying, we utilized tunicate-inspired hydrogen-bonding-rich 3,4,5-trihydroxyphenethylamine hydrochloride (TOPA) for physical cross-linking of nanocrystals with enhanced hydrogen bonding and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a relaxer of internal stresses in the vicinity of the capillary surface. The CNC/TOPA/PEG film is organized as a left-handed chiral structure parallel to flat walls, and the inner volume of the films displayed transitional herringbone organization across the interfacial region. The resulting thin films also exhibit high mechanical performance compared to brittle films with multiple cracks commonly observed for capillary-formed pure CNC films. The chiral nematic ordering of modified TOPA-PEG-CNC material propagates through the entire thickness of robust monolithic films and across centimeter-sized surface areas, facilitating consistent, vivid iridescence, and enhanced circular polarization. The best performance that prevents the cracks was achieved for a CNC/TOPA/PEG film with a minimal, 3% amount of TOPA. Overall, we suggest that intercalation of small highly adhesive molecules to cellulose nanocrystal-polymer matrices can facilitate uniform flow of liquid crystal phase and drying inside the capillary, resulting in improvement of the ultimate tensile strength and toughness (77% and 100% increase, respectively) with controlled uniform optical reflection and enhanced circular polarization unachievable during regular drying conditions.

Abstract
Click reaction is a very fast, high yield with no by-product, biocompatible, tolerant to surrounded medium, and very specific cycloaddition reaction between azides and alkynes to form triazole. They are widely being employed in the synthesis of various polymeric materials. Here, the design, fabrication and characterization of hydrogel prepared using click reaction have been reported. At first, telechelic acetylene precursor for click reaction is prepared from diisocyanatohexane and propargyl alcohol in the presence of triethylamine. The azide derivatives of poly(hydroxyethylmethacrylate), i.e. poly(HEMA), are successfully prepared following two different routes. In route 1, esterification of bromopropionic acid is performed with HEMA monomer using N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide/4-dimethylaminopyridine (DCC/DMAP) as a catalyst followed by replacing bromide by azide moiety. Free radical polymerization of the fabricated monomer is then performed under N2 atmosphere using azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) as an initiator. In route 2, polymerization of HEMA has been carried out first, then modification of the polymer with azide group via successive steps to obtain azide derivative polymer for click reaction. The hydrogel is prepared by a very fast, highly specific, and simple click reaction between azide derivative polymer and telechelic acetylene precursor using copper as a catalyst. The structures of derivatives of azide-functionalized HEMA, acetylene precursors and hydrogels are confirmed by FTIR and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The optimized structure of each precursor is determined, and their chemical and thermodynamic parameters are computationally studied in detail.

Abstract
Polymer networks were prepared by Steglich esterification using poly(sorbitol adipate) (PSA) and poly(sorbitol adipate)-graft-poly(ethylene glycol) mono methyl ether (PSA-g-mPEG12) copolymer. Utilizing multi-hydroxyl functionalities of PSA, poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) was first grafted onto a PSA backbone. Then the cross-linking of PSA or PSA-g-mPEG12 was carried out with disuccinyl PEG of different molar masses (Suc-PEGn-Suc). Polymers were characterized through nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The degree of swelling of networks was investigated through water (D2O) uptake studies, while for detailed examination of their structural dynamics, networks were studied using 13C magic angle spinning NMR (13C MAS NMR) spectroscopy, 1H double quantum NMR (1H DQ NMR) spectroscopy, and 1H pulsed field gradient NMR (1H PFG NMR) spectroscopy. These solid state NMR results revealed that the networks were composed of a two component structure, having different dipolar coupling constants. The diffusion of solvent molecules depended on the degree of swelling that was imparted to the network by the varying chain length of the PEG based cross-linking agent.

Abstract
Polydopamine microspheres (PDAMs), synthesized using a biomimetic method, were used as a matrix for polyethylene glycol (PEG) to develop a novel high-efficient form-stable phase change material (PEG/PDAM) using a simple vacuum impregnation strategy. The PDAMs were first used as a support for the organic phase change materials, and the biomimetic synthesis of the PDAMs had the advantages of easy operation, mild conditions, and environmental friendliness. The characteristics and thermal properties of the PEG/PDAMs were investigated using SEM, FTIR, XRD, TGA, DSC, and XPS, and the results demonstrated that the PEG/PDAMs possessed favourable heat storage capacity, excellent thermal stability, and reliability, and the melting and freezing latent heats of PEG/PDAM-3 reached 133.20 ± 2.50 J/g and 107.55 ± 4.45 J/g, respectively. Therefore, the PEG/PDAMs possess great potential in real-world applications for thermal energy storage. Additionally, the study on the interaction mechanism between the PEG and PDAMs indicated that PEG was immobilized on the surface of PDAMs through hydrogen bonds between the PEG molecules and the PDAMs. Moreover, the PDAMs can also be used as a matrix for other organic materials for the preparation of form-stable phase change materials.
