To generate out-of-plane actuation, which can be conveniently coupled in motions such as grasping, walking, and swinging, asymmetrically structured DEAs (AS-DEAs) have been developed by attaching active dielectric elastomer (DE) films to passive substrates. However, traditional AS-DEAs usually suffer from a short actuation life caused by stress concentration at the soft–stiff interface. Here, inspired by the human bone–cartilage tissue interface, we developed gradient structured DEAs (GS-DEAs) by preparing thin DE films in which the modulus was increased stepwise and inserting them as buffer layers between active DE films and substrates. This gradient structure effectively reduces the interface shear stresses to below the interfacial bonding strength, thus greatly improving the durability of the actuator. GS-DEAs maintain large out-of-plane actuation and force output after 100,000 cycles and successfully drive a robotic fish for long-term underwater swimming.","PeriodicalId":19,"journal":{"name":"ACS Materials Letters","volume":"7 5","pages":"2002–2009 2002–2009"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143903245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While reliability studies on gate stacks with 2D semiconductors have focused on device performance instabilities, the stability of bulk dielectric properties, particularly for ultrathin high-κ films on 2D semiconductors, remains underexplored. This work demonstrates the scalability of high-κ Er2O3 on mechanically transferred MoS2, achieving an equivalent oxide thickness below 1 nm. However, the critical issue is identified: time-dependent degradation of the dielectric constant, which persists despite various passivation methods. Notably, this instability is absent when the high-κ film is deposited on a clean surface of MoS2 grown on a sapphire substrate, revealing that the degradation originates from suboptimal surface conditions of the 2D semiconductor rather than the dielectric itself. These findings highlight the necessity of addressing 2D material surface effects to fully realize the potential of ultrathin high-κ dielectrics in future device applications.","PeriodicalId":19,"journal":{"name":"ACS Materials Letters","volume":"7 5","pages":"1993–2001 1993–2001"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143903244","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently developed covalent adaptive networks address this limitation, but their reliance on specialized monomers hinders scalability and practical application. Herein, we report a 3D-printable resin formulated with isobornyl acrylate, a 1,2-diol-based boronic ester cross-linker (<4%), and tetradecanol as a trans-borylesterification mediator. At room temperature, tetradecanol remains unreactive, preserving a rigid thermoset matrix while forming microelastic domains that dissipate impact energy, achieving an 8600% increase in toughness with 15% tetradecanol. During hot pressing, the thermal leveling effect kinetically drives dynamic bond exchange, converting the thermoset into a thermoplastic material. Upon cooling, the reaction becomes thermodynamically controlled again, reestablishing the thermoset polymer network and recovering its mechanical properties. This resin uniquely transitions to a thermoplastic state only during reprocessing, reverting to a durable thermoset upon cooling, enabling sustainable, high-performance DLP printing with end-of-life reusability.","PeriodicalId":19,"journal":{"name":"ACS Materials Letters","volume":"7 5","pages":"1963–1972 1963–1972"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143903292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Specifically, three ionic chain extenders were synthesized using mercaptopropionate (SH(CH2)2COO–) as the anion part and N-substituted 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)-butane (IC4I) containing different carbon chain length in a pendant group as the cation part, which were then polymerized into the main chain. Ionic-PUs exhibited customizable mechanical properties and multilevel energy dissipation due to the steric hindrance, the magnitude of electrostatic force, and the type of noncovalent interaction on the construction of MDND. Ionic-PUs had enhanced chain rearrangement and even solvent reprocessing due to the fact that ionic bonds break and reorganize efficiently at elevated temperatures or in highly polar solvents.","PeriodicalId":19,"journal":{"name":"ACS Materials Letters","volume":"7 5","pages":"1984–1992 1984–1992"},"PeriodicalIF":9.6,"publicationDate":"2025-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143903285","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Also, we elucidate such switching by revealing a novel electronic origin for AIE via inversion-symmetry-driven fluorescence in A3MN. We observe this unique fluorescence phenomenon being affected by mechanical crushing and the rate of dissolution of crystals in the solvent. This inversion-symmetry-driven emission phenomenon plays a pivotal role in modulating the AIE of A3MN aggregates in solution, films, and crystals.
