Hierarchical Multi‐Material Architectures With Gradient Design for Dynamic‐Range Flexible Tactile Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hierarchical multi‐material TPMS lattices are engineered as flexible tactile sensors by combining soft and stiff elastomeric layers with a conformal conductive coating. The bilayer architecture delivers sensitivity at low pressures while maintaining a broad detectable range under large loads, enabling reliable pressure and vibration monitoring for ...

Microstructured Electrode‐Piezopolymer Interface for Ultrasound Transducers With Enhanced Flexibility and Acoustic Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Flexible piezopolymer ultrasound transducers are engineered by tailoring the electrode–piezopolymer interface using metallic, flake‐based, and porous graphene electrodes. Laser‐induced graphene's porous structure enables polymer infiltration, strengthening interfacial coupling and enhancing piezoelectric response and acoustic output.

Spectral Selectivity Enhancement in Solar Absorber Multilayers through Titanium Oxynitride Thin Film Modulation

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Optical and plasmonic properties of TiN and Ti(O)N thin films were tuned at the synthesis stage by modulating the oxygen pressure during room‐temperature pulsed laser deposition. Ti(O)N thin films exhibiting a highly metallic and peculiar double‐epsilon‐near‐zero (DENZ) behavior were produced.
