For this reason, multi-mechanism polymerization is a commonly used technique. However, due to the complex nature of chemical reactions, different mechanisms could affect each other. Incorporating multiple mechanisms in a single polymerization requires the elaborate design of the synthetic route and rational arrangement of the reaction sequence. Considering the importance of multi-mechanism polymerization for polymer synthesis, the scope of this review is to summarize the research progress on multi-mechanism polymerization. Because the number of publications using stepwise, sequential polymerizations is much more than those with simultaneous polymerizations, this review focuses primarily on the latter type with a brief summary of the former. Polymerization mechanisms and their combinations categorize multi-mechanism polymerizations. The mutual interactions between different mechanisms are discussed before summarizing and highlighting the published works during recent years.

Emulsion templating can be used to generate high-porosity, macroporous polymer monoliths with highly interconnected, micrometer-scale porous structures through polymerization in the external, continuous phase followed by removal of the internal, dispersed phase. Emulsion templating possesses, on one hand, the benefit of being seemly simple. This simplicity, however, belies its inherent versatility and considerable parameter space that enables creative design of innovative new materials in terms of their macromolecular structures, their porous structures, and their properties. As described here, approaching emulsion templating with a specific structure or application in mind can enable a do-it-yourself outlook to imaginatively selecting the most appropriate emulsion type, stabilization strategy, polymerization mechanism, crosslinking strategy, and post-synthesis modification. The research and development of emulsion-templated polymers has been blossoming, as reflected not only in the number of articles published, but also in the number of novel porous polymer materials synthesized and in the number of heretofore unexplored applications investigated. It is the hidden complexity of emulsion templating that enables a continuous stream of pioneering works stemming from breakthrough insights in connected and contiguous scientific fields. This appraisal, highlighting emulsion templating strategies, will serve as a guide for those involved in developing innovative polymers with unique macromolecular and porous structures that engender exceptional properties. Contemplating the future directions of emulsion templating, given the robust nature of its established foundation, suggests that innovative research and development will continue to flourish.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":413,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Polymer Science","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 101970"},"PeriodicalIF":26.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144067273","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}

Recycling rates for conventional thermoplastics remain low, largely due to the harsh conditions required for high-temperature melt-molding. These conditions promote thermo-oxidative reactions and chain scission, causing significant deterioration of polymer chains and reducing the recyclability of these materials. Additionally, the sustainability of this process is compromised by its high energy demands and harmful environmental impacts. Baroplastics provide an alternative recycling pathway that involves the use of low-temperature processing under pressure; a novel class of sustainable polymers that leverages their unique pressure-responsive properties to enable recycling at markedly reduced energy consumption and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Baroplastics rely on order-to-disorder transitions (ODTs), typically of block copolymers (BCPs), that allow for a rheological transition from an ordered solid to a disordered liquid-like state that can flow and be molded. Once pressure is removed, the liquid-like state returns to its original solid form with no observed degradation of the polymeric chains. In this review, we introduce the concept of baroplastics and explore the mechanisms that underpin their distinctive ability to flow under pressure for sustainable recycling. We discuss the technological and environmental advantages of baromechanical recycling, the potential for future implementation within industry, and the use of baroplastics in nanocomposites and biological systems. Moreover, we have thoroughly reviewed the scope, modelling, and synthesis of baroplastic materials to produce a guide to this growing field.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":413,"journal":{"name":"Progress in Polymer Science","volume":"165 ","pages":"Article 101967"},"PeriodicalIF":26.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143933095","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 the traditional PU synthesis typically occurs at room temperature (r.T) due to the high reactivity of isocyanates, NIPU synthesis generally requires elevated temperatures to surpass the low reactivity of the precursors. Considering societal needs and regulatory changes, achieving NIPU synthesis at r.T could reduce the energy footprint of the process, facilitate transition to NIPUs within existing PU manufacturing facilities and in consumer-grade applications – a more seamless switch from PUs to NIPUs. Additionally, r.T reactions are desirable for minimizing side reactions and enabling a wider functional group tolerance. This review critically gathers unbridged data and recent strategies aimed at achieving NIPU synthesis at r.T. This includes advances in monomer design, catalysis, and the use of r.T-efficient hybrid chemistries.

The addition of non-reactive silicone fluids into silicone elastomers has often been presented as a way to further enhance their release properties. However, the mechanism behind this improvement remains quite unclear and the effect of fluids is largely unpredictable and always assessed experimentally. This review thus attempts to tackle this issue by identifying trends in experimental observations made on barnacle and ice release and proposing theoretical tools to explain and potentially model or predict them. With this objective in mind, this review is divided into three sections and will first describe the chemistry of silicone elastomers while highlighting the parameters that allow tuning the elastomer’s final properties. In the second section, the influence of the physical properties of the silicone elastomer (modulus, thickness, surface energy) on its barnacle and ice-release properties will be discussed. In this section and further, strong similarities will be highlighted between observations made for these foulants. Finally, reports of fluid-containing silicone elastomers will be scrutinized to examine the potential impact of parameters such as compatibility, molecular weight, surface tension, and crosslink density.
