Abstract: Supramolecular anion binding to squaramide crosslinkers in poly(N,N-dimethylacrylamide) gel networks enhances swelling and allows reversible chemically driven actuation. The volume swelling ratio of the gels is shown to depend on both the type of anion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acsami.8b13099
Abstract: This work reports a simple approach to form, study, and utilize rough coatings that prevent the adhesion of gallium-based liquid metal alloys. Typically, liquids with large interfacial tension do not wet nonreactive surfaces, regardless of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-92637-x
Abstract: Herein, we report hybrid fibrous artificial muscles with reversible actuation, i.e., expansion upon cooling and contraction upon heating, under external compression. Although many fibrous polymeric artificial muscles by twist insertion in precursor fibers have been… read more here.
