Enormous-stiffness-changing polymer networks by glass transition mediated microphase separation
The development of flexible electronics and soft robotics demands materials with wide-range switchable stiffness. Here, the authors report a polymer network that can isochorically and reversibly switch between a soft ionogel and a rigid plastic accompanied by a large stiffness change.
