The article aimed to decrease the memory effect of polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) films, reversible additional-fragmental chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization was used to synthesize RAFT-polystyrene (RAFT-PS), which was a kind of RAFT macroinitiators and used to prepare PDLCs via photo polymerization induced phase separation (PIPS). Different RAFT agents were used to synthesize RAFT-PS. The effect of photoinitiator concentration on the memory effect of these PDLCs was investigated, and the effect of structures of RAFT macroinitiators on the memory effect of the PDLCs was also discussed. The results showed that PDLC films with higher photoinitiator concentration and polymer matrix which had two rigid chains in two ends showed lower memory effect, which could be reduced from 10.9% to 2.5% in this experiment.

Inspired by the Cyphochilus scale with extreme whiteness, fluoropolymer is used as the matrix to prepare highly scattering porous polymer films through polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS) method. The mixture used for the PIPS technique contains a fluoride monomer, a UV photoinitiator, and porogens (cyclohexanol and perfluorooctanol). By carefully tuning the mixture parameters (cyclohexanol–perfluorooctanol and monomer–porogen weight ratios), the porous morphology can be well tailored, which induces different scattering performances. With an optimized formulation (50 wt% monomer, 25 wt% cyclohexanol, and 25 wt% perfluorooctanol), the porous film with a thickness of 55 µm can achieve an average total reflectance of ≈90%, featuring a measured transport mean free path of 1.3–1.7 µm (comparable to the 1.5 µm of the benchmark Cyphochilus scale). Further, the porous films are applied to the light-emitting diode (LED) device and it is demonstrated that they can effectively improve the light extraction efficiency of the LED and thus enhance the luminous performance. Due to the simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and scalability of the PIPS method, the as-developed porous fluoropolymer films with such excellent scattering ability can find many potential applications not only in the field of optoelectronics, but also in various complex scenarios, such as daytime passive radiative cooling.

Plastic-crystal-embedded elastomer electrolytes (PCEEs), produced through polymerization-induced phase separation (PIPS), are gaining popularity as solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs). However, it remains to be investigated whether all monomer molecules can achieve polymerization-induced phase separation and the corresponding differences in lithium metal battery performance. Herein, we prepared PCEEs with different functional groups ( OH, CN, F) through in situ polymerization. Research findings show that PCEE containing – CN or – F achieves the separation of the plastic crystalline phase and succinonitrile (SN) phase, whereas PCEE containing OH cannot due to hydrogen bonding with the SN phase. Notably, the PCEE synthesized with the F monomer (FBA-PCEE) exhibited exceptional interfacial stability with lithium metal anodes and lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cathodes, due to its unique coordination mechanism with lithium ions. The FBA-PCEE demonstrated a high ionic conductivity (2.02 × 10 −3 S cm −1 ) and lithium-ion migration number ( t Li + = 0.75). Moreover, lithium symmetric cells incorporating FBA-PCEE demonstrated stable cycling performance for more than 1000 h at a current density of 0.1 mA cm −2 , resulting in the development of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) rich in LiF, Li 3 N, and Li 2 CO 3 over time. Additionally, incorporating FBA-PCEE facilitated the stable cycling of LPF over 1000 cycles at 0.5C, maintaining a capacity retention of 77.38 % after 500 cycles. When coupled with high-voltage Nickel Cobalt Manganese Oxide (NCM-622) cathodes and lithium metal anodes, a discharge capacity of 119.70 mAh g −1 at 0.1C was sustained after 100 cycles, exhibiting a capacity retention of 78.95 %. This study elucidates the critical role of monomer design in achieving PIPS, offering valuable insights into developing high-performance polymer composite electrolytes for advanced lithium metal batteries.
