Exceptional Elasto‐Dielectric Properties in a Highly Flexible Dielectric Elastomer Composite: The Key Roles of Parallel Elastic Nanofibers

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Soft dielectric elastomer composites often face a trade‐off between enhanced dielectric properties and mechanical compliance. Here, a parallel‐aligned polyurethane nanofiber network embedded in PDMS creates a flexible, durable composite with increased permittivity, low modulus, and fatigue stability after 100,000 cycles.

Microscale 3D‐Printed Digital Strain Switches for Embedded Mechanical Computation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Microscale 3D‐printed strain switches on flexible films convert deformation into native digital signals at geometry defined thresholds. A closed form model predicts switching from 3000 to 15 000 microstrain and is validated across 110 devices. Reliable ohmic closure and strain activated AND, OR, and XOR logic point toward low‐power mechanical ...

3D‐Printed Actuator Powered by Liquid Crystal Elastomer Muscles at the Water–Air Interface

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Soft robots for unstructured environments require responsive, durable actuators. Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) provide large reversible deformations under thermal or optical stimuli. Direct ink writing enables fabrication of LCE actuators integrated with silicone, with mesogen chemistry and oligomers optimized for printable inks.

Angled Nozzle Aerosol Jet Printing to Streamline Conformal Patterning of Electronics

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A modular, angled aerosol jet printhead is demonstrated to streamline patterning on nonplanar surfaces, including 90° step edges and confined internal geometries. A detailed analysis of gravitational settling for a sheathed aerosol flow and deconvolution of oblique deposition and gravitational effects supports the versatility of this approach for ...

Single‐Photon Emitters in Thickness‐Controlled hBN Directly Grown on Silicon Platform

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Direct, catalyst‐free CVD growth produces thickness‐controlled hBN films on SiO2/Si without transfer. Growth temperature, film thickness, and carbon incorporation tune the density and single‐photon fraction of defect emitters while preserving the hBN lattice structure.
