Photocleavable Regenerative Network Materials with Exceptional and Repeatable Viscoelastic Manipulability (Adv. Sci. 19/2021)

Photocleavable Regenerative Network Materials In article number 2101143, Minami Oka, Satoshi Honda, and co‐workers develop a photocleavable regenerative network material derived from star‐shaped polydimethylsiloxanes. This material exhibits repeatable and dramatic change in their mechanical properties upon photoirradiation, enabling the fabrication of remotely‐controlled photo‐melt adhesive and photo‐scissible rubber string with their spatially and temporally local manipulability, solventless handleability, and excellent reversibility.
