Multicomponent miktoarm stars (MMSs) hold great promise as multiphase materials toward multipurpose applications. To date, modular and iterative methods have been adopted to construct star copolymers with five or more compositions. In this feature article, strategies for the synthesis of ABC‐, ABCD‐, and ABCDE‐type MMSs are reviewed, versatile...

A tremendous increase in research in the field of light‐emitting dendrimers has emerged in the past few decades. There are many representative examples where dendrimers have become the architecture of choice for the design of light‐harvesting antenna, two photon upconversion systems, fluorescent sensors, photoinduced electron‐transfer‐based electronic...

The dielectric properties and electric energy density of tetramethylpiperidineoxyl radical (TEMPO)‐containing polymers are investigated along rational designing toward an energy‐storable material. The TEMPO blend with poly(methyl methacrylate) exhibits both a high dielectric constant and breakdown strength, where the highest electric energy density...

Polymers whose physico‐chemical properties (hydrophilicity, degree of polymerization, etc.) change significantly upon oxidation are discusssed here. Preparative methods, (multi)responsive mechanisms, and biomedical uses of polysulfides, polyselenides, polythioketals, polyoxalates, oligoproline‐ and catechol‐based materials are also reviewed, followed...

Sulfur‐containing polymers receive great attention because of their unique properties and successful applications. This review summarizes recently reported breakthroughs in the synthesis and applications of various sulfur‐containing polymers, with the goal of stimulating further progress in this field. The outlook of this field is also taken into...

A bionic nanocone array with antireflection, antifogging, antifrosting, antifouling, and moisture self‐cleaning properties is facilely fabricated on a transparent glass by anodic aluminium oxide template‐assisted prepolymer curing followed by silica deposition and low‐surface‐energy fluorosilane modification. The bionic surface shows a high transparency...
