Abstract: We report a visible light-responsive bilayer actuator driven by the photothermal properties of a unique molecular photoswitch: donor-acceptor Stenhouse adduct (DASA). We demonstrate a synthetic platform to chemically conjugate DASA to a load-bearing poly(hexyl methacrylate)… read more here.

Abstract: Conductive hydrogels are promising materials for advanced applications in artificial muscles, biomimetic soft robotics, and wearable electronics. However, the simultaneous realization of rapid reversible actuation, superior mechanical robustness, and high-resolution multimodal sensing remains a formidable… read more here.
