Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...

Large actuation and high dielectric strength in metallized dielectric elastomer actuators [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2012 Metal films are seldom used as compliant electrodes for dielectric elastomer actuator (DEA) because they tend to restrain deformation of soft dielectrics. This work showed that silver film electrodes formed by electroless deposition (ELD) are indeed stretchable, and the DEA using ELD silver electrodes is able to generate an actuation up to 50% areal ...

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Deployable medical devices typically need external stimuli to trigger deployment. However, external stimuli are difficult to supply within tissues. Here, we describe a strategy to deploy small‐scale structures into soft tissues after insertion without the need for any stimulus. We demonstrate deployment within a tissue phantom.
