Optically addressable dielectric elastomer actuator arrays using embedded percolative networks of zinc oxide nanowires.
Materials horizons
Nov 28, 2022
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are electrically driven soft actuators that generate fast and reversible deformations, enabling lightweight actuation of many novel soft robots and haptic devices. However, the high-voltage operation of DEAs comb...
Manta Ray Inspired Soft Robot Fish with Tough Hydrogels as Structural Elements.
ACS applied materials & interfaces
Nov 9, 2022
The design of soft robots capable of navigation underwater has received tremendous research interest due to the robots' versatile applications in marine explorations. Inspired by marine animals such as jellyfish, scientists have developed various sof...
Automated photo-aligned liquid crystal elastomer film fabrication with a low-tech, home-built robotic workstation.
Scientific reports
Oct 20, 2022
Laboratory procedures are often considered so unique that automating them is not economically justified - time and resources invested in designing, building and calibrating the machines are unlikely to pay off. This is particularly true if cheap labo...
Functional Liquid Crystal Elastomers Based on Dynamic Covalent Chemistry.
Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
Oct 13, 2022
The marriage of liquid crystal elastomers with dynamic covalent chemistry can be a new paradigm for the development of dynamic and intelligent polymers with versatile functionalities, which is of paramount significance for many emerging applications ...
Three-dimensional thermochromic liquid crystal elastomer structures with reversible shape-morphing and color-changing capabilities for soft robotics.
Soft matter
Sep 21, 2022
Functional structures with reversible shape-morphing and color-changing capabilities are promising for applications including soft robotics and biomimetic camouflage devices. Despite extensive studies, there are few reports on achieving both reversib...
Liquid Metal-Elastomer Composites with Dual-Energy Transmission Mode for Multifunctional Miniature Untethered Magnetic Robots.
Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Sep 5, 2022
Miniature untethered robots attract growing interest as they have become more functional and applicable to disruptive biomedical applications recently. Particularly, the soft ones among them exhibit unique merits of compliance, versatility, and agili...
Scalable optical manufacture of dynamic structural colour in stretchable materials.
Nature materials
Aug 1, 2022
Structurally coloured materials that change their colour in response to mechanical stimuli are uniquely suited for optical sensing and visual communication. The main barrier to their widespread adoption is a lack of manufacturing techniques that offe...
Aquabots.
ACS nano
Jul 29, 2022
Soft robots, made from elastomers, easily bend and flex, but deformability constraints severely limit navigation through and within narrow, confined spaces. Using aqueous two-phase systems we print water-in-water constructs that, by aqueous phase-sep...
Robust, Healable, Self-Locomotive Integrated Robots Enabled by Noncovalent Assembled Gradient Nanostructure.
Nano letters
Jun 22, 2022
Integration, being lightweight, and intelligence are important orientations for the future advancement of soft robots. However, existing soft robots are generally hydrogels or silicone rubber, which are inherently mechanically inferior and easily dam...
Self-Healable, Self-Repairable, and Recyclable Electrically Responsive Artificial Muscles.
Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Jun 3, 2022
Elastomers with high dielectric permittivity that self-heal after electric breakdown and mechanical damage are important in the emerging field of artificial muscles. Here, a one-step process toward self-healable, silicone-based elastomers with large ...
