A recent study in Nature Communications presents a new class of shape memory polymer (SMP) surfaces embedded with nanotips. These surfaces feature tunable nanoscale roughness, enabling adjustable dry ...
Shape memory polymers (SMPs) are a remarkable class of stimuli‐responsive materials capable of undergoing substantial deformation and subsequently recovering their original shape when exposed to ...
Researchers from North Carolina State University have demonstrated miniature soft hydraulic actuators that can be used to control the deformation and motion of soft robots that are less than a ...
A recent article published in Small Science introduces fully bioderived, four-dimensional (4D) printable shape memory polymers (SMPs) with linear tunability and remotely controlled actuation ...
Researchers develop a recyclable sulfur-based polymer that enables 4D printing of soft robots with programmable shape changes and magnetic responsiveness. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Materials designed to ...
(Nanowerk Spotlight) The next generation of robots may not look anything like the rigid, mechanical machines we’re used to. Instead, imagine a robot that moves more like an octopus or a human hand, ...
As electronic devices continue to become more compact, flexible, and wearable, materials suppliers are coming under increased pressure to surpass traditional limitations. From foldable displays and ...
The "Smart Polymers Market, Till 2035: Distribution by Type of Polymer, Type of Stimulus, Type of End User, and Geographical Regions: Industry Trends and Global Forecasts" has been added to ...
