Extreme Mechanics Letters, 2020 Auxetics are materials that contract laterally when compressed, rather than expand, in contrast to common experience. Here we show that common metals and plastics can be rendered auxetic through the introduction of a regular array of holes. Under compression, these hard holey materials bypass localized failure modes, such as shear banding, and instead ...

3D Printing of Stretchable, Compressible and Conductive Porous Polyurethane for Soft Robotics
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A 3D‐printable porous dopamine‐polyurethane acrylate elastomer results in conductive, stretchable, and compressible structures that can be metallized in situ through catechol‐mediated silver reduction. The resulting material function as both compliant soft robot with a and strain sensors without complex assemblies, enabling fully 3D‐printed soft ...

Elasto-plastic shear behavior of reinforced honeycomb and auxetic reentrant lattices
Millenium, 2018 Introduction: Auxetic materials possess a negative Poisson’s ratio. Even though, the existence of isotropic auxetics is theoretically possible, they seem to be absent in natural states thus, there has been an effort to produce artificial auxetics mostly ...

Active Auxetic Heel Support for Achilles Tendon Therapy [PDF]
, 2018 The Achilles tendon, which stretches from the calf to the ankle, can be injured due to repeated daily activities or overstretching. In severe cases a tear in the tendon can prevent athletes from performing in games as well as individuals from completing ...

Material‐Induced Nuclear Deformation Controls Chromatin Architecture in Adipose Stem Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Tuning cell and cytoskeleton mechanics modulated nuclear shape and heterochromatin organization in ASCs. Distinct cytoskeletal architectures induced nuclear morphologies from oblate to prolate ellipsoids. Large elongated cells with a structured actin cap exhibited high nuclear strain, driving nuclear envelope deformation and heterochromatin ...
