Here, we report a molecularly engineered class of UV\u2010curable thiol\u2010ene\u2010aromatic polymers that reconciles optical performance with mechanical compliance. By combining thiol crosslinkers with aromatic acrylates to form a low\u2010absorption network and introducing a phenyl\u2010bearing comonomer to mitigate near\u2010infrared vibrational overtone absorption while tuning elasticity and printability, the optimized A50 formulation exhibits ultralow optical attenuation of \u223c0.004 dB\u2009cm\n                    <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    <jats:sup>1<\/jats:sup>\n                    , together with broadband transparency from 310 to 1100\u2009nm and transmittance exceeding 90% above 380\u2009nm at millimeter\u2010scale thicknesses. The same formulation remains mechanically compliant and supports high\u2010fidelity freeform UV\u2010based 3D printing, while exhibiting high thermal stability (onset \u2248333\u00b0C). Leveraging this combination of optical and mechanical properties, we demonstrate deformable waveguides and bioinspired optomechanical devices capable of robust, multichannel optical sensing under repeated low\u2010force interactions and compliant manipulation. This work establishes a molecular design strategy for creating soft polymers with ultralow optical loss, providing a materials platform for next\u2010generation soft photonic interfaces and adaptive robotic systems.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/adma.74723","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]],"date-time":"2026-08-24T04:03:23Z","timestamp":1787544203000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Molecularly Engineered Ultralow\u2010Loss Soft Polymers for Deformable Printed Photonics"],"prefix":"10.1002","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-9781-1874","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Shang","family":"Gong","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel Ming Rui","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8464-1598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qingyang","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shixing","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bing Rui","family":"Sim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3221-077X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Magdiel Inggrid","family":"Setyawati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6020-107X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenjie","family":"Lai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Wang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"Singapore University of Technology and Design  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1164-9537","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xingyu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8380-8416","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Subhasis","family":"Das","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Singapore\u2010HUJ Alliance for Research and Enterprise (SHARE) CREATE  Singapore Singapore"},{"name":"School of Materials Science and Engineering Nanyang Technological University  Singapore Singapore"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3301-1040","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joel K.
