Geometry‐Dependent Adhesion in Transparent Monodomain Liquid Crystal Elastomers
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are emerging as exciting pressure‐sensitive adhesives. We examine adhesion in chemically identical elastomer films, exploring the influence of geometry (director orientation) and phase (nematic or isotropic). We demonstrate the potential of these aligned films as transparent, tunable, broad‐temperature‐range smart ...

Beyond developable: computational design and fabrication with auxetic materials [PDF]
, 2016 We present a computational method for interactive 3D design and rationalization of surfaces via auxetic materials, i.e., flat flexible material that can stretch uniformly up to a certain extent. A key motivation for studying such material is that one can

Auxetic oesophageal stents: structure and mechanical properties
Journal of Materials Science: Materials in Medicine, 2013 Oesophageal cancer is the ninth leading cause of malignant cancer death and its prognosis remains poor, ranking as the sixth most frequent cause of death in the world. This research work aims to adopt an Auxetic (rotating-squares) geometry device, that had previously been examined theoretically and analysed by Grima and Evans (J Mater Sci Lett 19(17 ...

Interlocking assembled 3D auxetic cellular structures [PDF]
Materials & Design, 2016 Abstract As promising metamaterials, 3D periodic auxetic cellular structures (PACSs) have attracted great interest. However, they usually consist of intricate geometries which make their fabrication a significant challenge. The present paper is focused on introducing the interlocking assembly concept into the fabrication of 3D PACSs.

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.
