A Review of Smart Materials in Tactile Actuators for Information Delivery
, 2017 As the largest organ in the human body, the skin provides the important sensory channel for humans to receive external stimulations based on touch. By the information perceived through touch, people can feel and guess the properties of objects, like ...

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.The dielectric elastomer‐based electropneumatic device (DE‐EPD) is a vacuum‐assisted ventricular assist device (VAD) that delivers high performance (85 mmHg, 6.8 L min−1) with low power consumption. Unlike traditional motor‐driven VADs, it is lightweight, quiet, energy‐efficient, and provides pulsatile flow. Validated in a simulated circulation system,

Microcellular Poly (Ethylene‐Co‐Vinyl Acetate)/Lignin Nanocomposites for Soft Ferroelectrets
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Lignin valorization for advanced porous polymer nanocomposites development and an upscaling route for continuous manufacturing of soft ferroelectrets for energy harvesting are studied. This work examines the role of lignin and carbon nanotubes (CNT) in modifying the mechanical, dielectric, and ferroelectret properties of poly (ethylene‐co‐vinyl acetate)

Electric field dynamics in the brain during multi-electrode transcranial electric stimulation
Nature Communications, 2019 Transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS) of the brain is widely used in neuroscience, but the electric fields produced when multiple stimulation electrodes are used are not well understood.

ON THE QUANTITY OF ELECTRICITY AND THE ENERGY IN ELECTRICAL STIMULATION [PDF]
Journal of General Physiology, 1936 Weiss's and Hoorweg's laws are discussed with respect to the dynamics of the excitatory process. The former is shown to have a simple basis which is inadequate, however, because it implies a constant rate of subsidence of the state of excitation. Hoorweg's law does not follow logically from the same basis so the two laws do not represent the same ...

Programmable Reconfiguration of Hybrid 4D Chiral Metamaterials via Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A class of hybrid chiral mechanical metamaterials is designed to achieve programmable reconfiguration through soft networks, hinges, and bilayer joints integrated with rigid units. Responsive to mechanical and thermal stimuli, these structures exhibit large volume changes, tunable deformation pathways, and both positive and negative thermal expansion ...
