  • Many properties of polymers are dictated by topology. However, the topology of a macromolecule is typically a static feature after synthesis. Now, an approach to dynamic and transformable macromolecular architecture has been developed. When triggered by an external stimulus, macromolecular topology can be triggered to transform via thermodynamic control.

  • Lustrous flexible thin films of semiconducting cyclic polyacetylene (c-PA) have been synthesized and characterized. Rapid and efficient tungsten-catalysed acetylene polymerization conditions produce temporarily soluble c-PA, enabling the in situ derivatization of this typically insoluble polymer. Compelling evidence for the cyclic topology—and its influence on the physical properties of the polymer—are presented.

  • Advances in biofabrication technology enable 3D printed constructs to resemble real tissues, but it remains unclear how cell-generated forces deform these constructs. Here the authors investigate mechanical behaviours of 3D printed “microbeams” made from mixtures of living cells and extracellular matrix.

  • The properties and applications of biomacromolecules, for example proteins, can be enhanced by the covalent attachment of synthetic polymers. This Review discusses the modification of these biomacromolecules with stimuli-responsive polymers.
