This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $405,431 to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as University of California, Berkeley, to conduct collaborative research on developing polymers with adaptive molecular structures that can withstand extreme conditions. The key objectives are to: 1) pioneer the use of double-threaded polymers to fabricate slide-ring polymers for enhanced stretchability, 2) integrate dynamic covalent polymer design with 3D printing to enhance self-healing properties, and 3) realize high toughness, rigidity, and processibility via double network polymers using both slide-ring and dynamic covalent polymers. This 4-year research project aims to establish an accelerated, data-driven materials discovery loop incorporating computational modeling, rapid polymer synthesis, automated fabrication, and machine learning. The successful outcome is expected to produce innovative polymeric materials suitable for wearable sensors, soft actuators, and energy harvesting devices.
