Soft ULC Microgels at the Interface Interact and Flow as Hertzian‐Like Colloids

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Monolayers of soft ULC microgels, studied combining interfacial rheology, AFM and computer simulations, exhibit isoelastic points. At these points, the measured stiffness of the monolayer remains constant despite large differences in particle concentration.

Direct‐Write Laser Patterning of PDMS/Graphite Composites for Dual‐Functional Surfaces with Tunable Conductivity and Wettability

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A novel approach for creating multifunctional PDMS surfaces combines PDMS/graphite composites with blue laser processing. By controlling graphite concentration and laser power, tunable electrical conductivity and wettability in a single step is achieved.

Reconfigurable Soft Actuators Constructed via Layer‐by‐layer Assembly

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Stimulated by the energy inputs from heating or humidifying, structural reconfigurations took place in two different materials as manifested by the dynamic structures and mechanical performance, leading to the opportunities of self‐healing and welding. Based on the hierarchical assembly of these two materials with complementary properties, an actuator ...
