Adaptable Tile‐Based Pneumatic Origami through Structurally Coupled Localized Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This article presents tile‐based pneumatic origami structures with rigid tiles and flexible fabric creases, achieving adaptable properties including morphing shape, selective multistability, and tunable stiffness. Independently pressurized folding bladders at each crease enable structurally coupled localized actuation of origami structures.

Polymer Interface Molecular Engineering for E-Textiles [PDF]

open access: yesPolymers, 2018
Wearable electronics, regarded as the next generation of conventional textiles, have been an important concept in the study of e-textiles. Conductive fibres are the upstreaming of e-textiles and have witnessed the booming development in recent years. However, little work has focused on improving the wash ability and durability of conductive fibres.
