Mesophase Tunable Actuation of Ionic Thiol‐Acrylate Liquid Crystal Elastomers

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
Thiol‐acrylate ionic liquid crystal elastomers (iLCE) are developed with nematic and cybotactic mesophases and polydomain and monodomain genesis. The effect of genesis, mesophase, and microstructure on electroactuation was studied. ABSTRACT Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are envisioned to play a crucial role in next‐generation soft robotics for their ...

Punching shear of unbonded post‐tensioned steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs: The fiber contribution

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) enhances the flexural capacity of flat slabs and, due to its effectiveness in statically redundant bi‐dimensional elements, represents a viable alternative to conventional reinforcement. Although numerous studies have investigated the flexural behavior of SFRC slabs with and without bonded reinforcement ...

Four‐dimensional immuno‐mechanobiomaterials: Dynamic material cues that program host response to prevent fibrosis and enable regeneration

open access: yesVIEW, EarlyView.
Dynamic immuno‐mechanobiomaterials with time‐programmed mechanical adaptation orchestrate host responses through precise mechanotransduction and immune‐stromal regulation. These adaptive biomaterials minimize mechanical mismatch, attenuate the forign dy response and fibrosis, promote angiogenesis and controlled extracellular matrix remodeling, and ...

A New Take on Sharp Cracks in Brittle Dielectrics: Where Electric Dipole Layers Meet Concentrated Line Forces

open access: yesProceedings in Applied Mathematics and Mechanics, Volume 26, Issue 4, December 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, novel electrostatic aspects of sharp cracks in brittle dielectrics are discussed using the example of an impermeable Griffith crack in an infinite linear isotropic dielectric plate. On the one hand, electrostatic force densities stemming from the Maxwell stress tensor according to Lorentz are derived mathematically, where the ...

Dynamic Control of Phase Matching in Nonlinear Metasurfaces Using Pancharatnam–Berry Phase

open access: yesNanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 17, 11 September 2026.
Can mechanical rotation of a metasurface control the phase of a nonlinear optical signal? In a dual‐metasurface multipass cell, a circularly polarized pump interacts repeatedly with two plasmonic metasurfaces between two mirrors. By exploiting the geometric phase, rotating one metasurface shifts the phase‐matching condition of the second‐harmonic ...
