Abstract Supramolecular polymer networks (SPNs), crosslinked by noncovalent bonds, have emerged as reorganizable and recyclable polymeric materials with unique functionality. However, poor stability is an imperative challenge faced SPNs, because SPNs are susceptible to heat, water, and/or solvents due the dynamic reversible nature of bonds. Herein, design a cooperative network (NCoN) simultaneously stabilize reinforce reported, resulting in ultrastable, superrobust, SPN. The NCoN constructed...

Human conversations naturally evolve around related concepts and hop to distant concepts. This paper presents a new conversation generation model, ConceptFlow, which leverages commonsense knowledge graphs explicitly model flows. By grounding the concept space, ConceptFlow represents potential flow as traverses in space along relations. The traverse is guided by graph attentions graph, moving towards more meaningful directions order generate semantic informative responses. Experiments on...

Two novel four-coordinate boron-containing emitters 1 and 2 with deep-blue emissions were synthesized by refluxing a 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)benzimidazole ligand triphenylborane or bromodibenzoborole. The boron chelation produced new π-conjugated skeleton, which rendered the materials intense fluorescence, good thermal stability, high carrier mobility. Both compounds displayed in solutions very fluorescence quantum yields (over 0.70). More importantly, samples showed identical solution solid...
