When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...

A Modular Microfluidic System to Generate Gradient Hydrogels with Simple‐to‐Complex Stiffness Profiles for Mechanobiology

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This work introduces a universal approach for fabricating stiffness gradient hydrogels with diverse stiffness ranges and gradient profiles. Gradient formation is achieved by precisely controlling the thermal landscape within a microfluidic system, which drives thermophoretic redistribution of precursor components in solution.

Wrinkle‐Template Confinement of Kinetically Arrested Cellulose Nanocrystals for Sustainable Large Scale Reflection Gratings

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Self‐supported all‐cellulose reflective gratings are fabricated from cellulose nanocrystal dispersions via a confinement printing process. Taking advantage of the reduced fluidity of concentrated, kinetically arrested cellulose nanocrystal dispersions, line arrays can be successfully transferred to dried CNC films.
