Abstract Mechanically robust and tough polymeric materials are in high demand for applications ranging from flexible electronics to aerospace. However, achieving both toughness strength polymers remains a significant challenge due their inherently contradictory nature. Here, universal strategy enhancing the of polymer blends using ligand‐modulated metal–organic framework (MOF) nanoparticles is presented, which engineered have adjustable hydrophilicity lipophilicity by varying types ratios ligands. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations demonstrate that these can effectively regulate interfaces between chemically distinct based on amphiphilicity. Remarkably, mere 0.1 wt.% MOF with optimized amphiphilicity (ML‐MOF (5:5) ) delivered ≈1.1‐ ≈34.1‐fold increase poly (lactic acid) (PLA)/poly (butylene succinate) (PBS) blend, respectively. Moreover, amphiphilicity‐tailorable universally enhance mechanical properties various blends, such as polypropylene (PP)/polyethylene (PE), PP/polystyrene (PS), PLA/poly adipate‐co‐terephthalate) (PBAT), PLA/polycaprolactone (PCL)/PBS. This simple method offers potential strengthening toughening blends.

Developing closed-loop recyclable thermosets and understanding their structure–property relationships are essential steps in advancing a circular materials economy. Here, we present vinylogous urethane (VU) thermoset with recyclability, synthesized through the reaction of polytetrahydrofuran bisacetoacetate (aPTHF) tris(2-aminoethyl)amine (TREN). These VU polymers exhibit high elasticity, only 3–9% residual strain observed after cyclic tensile testing at maximum 100%, depending on molecular weight aPTHF network cross-link density. The two structural parameters also allow modulation mechanical stress-relaxation properties elastomers. To investigate hydrolysis linkages within hydrophobic matrix, employed heterogeneous system using biphasic mixture HCl CDCl3. Our findings show that VUs remain stable pure water but can be dissociated under acidic conditions, dissociation rate accelerated higher temperatures and/or presence concentrations. detailed investigations indicate potential elastomers as sustainable substrates for wearable sensors. We therefore conduct case study synthesizing sensor incorporation multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MCNs) into elastomer matrix. robustly detect various movements. Moreover, treatment both neat polymer composite diethyl ether solvent allows excellent recovery (>90%) TREN (86%), without discernible damage to MCNs reclaimed from latter.

Abstract Dynamic covalent polymer networks (DCPN) provide an important solution to the challenging recyclability of thermoset elastomers. However, dynamic bonds exhibit relatively weak bond energies, considerably decreasing mechanical properties DCPN. Herein, a novel reinforcement strategy for DCPN involving in situ formation supramolecular organic nanofillers through asynchronous polymerization is proposed. Owing difference reactivity isocyanate groups and gradual deblocking aldimine, cross‐linking hexamethylene diisocyanate isocyanate‐terminated prepolymer containing oxime–urethane with deblocked tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine facilitates transition from molecular interpenetration chains into immiscible polymerization. This results thermodynamic incompatibility between hyperbranched clusters long chains, inducing spontaneous nanofillers.
