Validation of Electrostrictive Performance of P(VDF‐TrFE‐CFE) for kHz Range Applications

Journal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 19, Page 4197-4212, 1 October 2026.
This study demonstrates that the high‐frequency deformation of the relaxor ferroelectric polymer P(VDF–TrFE–CFE) is governed by Maxwell's electrostriction, confirming its suitability for fast electromechanical applications. Combining original high‐frequency mechanical characterization, laser vibrometry measurements, and numerical modeling, a ...

Piezo‐Coupling Effects in Smart Polymers: Toward Ultrasensitive Sensing and Biomedical Applications

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 51, 14 September 2026.
Piezo‐coupling effects are the foundational factors for the development of multifunctional and self‐powered platforms. Central to this advancement is the use of stimuli‐responsive smart polymers, which offer mechanical flexibility, biocompatibility, and simplified structural complexity with improved sensitivity and energy efficiency.

Electromechanical coupling in polaronic ceria

JPhys Energy
Oxygen-defective metal oxides like cerium oxides exhibit giant electrostriction and field-induced piezoelectricity due to a dynamic electrosteric interplay between oxygen defects, ${\text{V}}_{\text{O}}^{ \cdot \cdot }$ , and the fluorite lattice.

Light induced lens in a transparent nanosuspension

Физико-химические аспекты изучения кластеров, наноструктур и наноматериалов
Self-focusing of radiation is usually considered as a nonlinear effect in a medium with a positive coefficient of the cubic nonlinearity. Nanosuspensions have such nonlinearity due to electrostrictive flows of nanoparticles in a non-uniform light field.

Stimulated Forward Brillouin Scattering in Subwavelength Grating Silicon Membranes

Laser &Photonics Reviews, Volume 20, Issue 17, 3 September 2026.
This work proposes a novel strategy to achieve large Brillouin scattering with independent control of the optical and mechanical modes using subwavelength silicon membranes. We experimentally demonstrate remarkably high Brillouin gain, resulting in an on/off Stokes gain of 3 dB and anti‐Stokes loss of 4 dB in a 6 mm‐long waveguide with 35 mW of on‐chip

Giant Electrostriction in Halide Perovskites Revisited With Double‐Modulation Interferometry

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 65, 13 August 2026.
A giant electrostrictive effect in lead halide perovskites had been reported previously. This work uses sensitive interferometry to measure the electromechanical response of various halide perovskite samples. The results reveal no intrinsic electrostrictive compression. Instead, the materials expand primarily under an applied electric field as a result

In Situ Change in Contact Angle of a Sessile Droplet on a Magnetoactive Elastomer

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 August 2026.
Contact angles of persistent μL$\mu{\rm L}$‐sized water droplets on a mechanically soft MAE surface under time varying magnetic fields differ from those of newly deposited droplets. The ability to quickly alter the material properties allows one to observe intriguing droplet‐material interactions.

Scan‐Path‐ and Initial‐State‐Dependent Superdomain Switching in (111)‐Oriented PZT

Advanced Electronic Materials, Volume 12, Issue 16, 24 August 2026.
Scan trajectory and initial superdomain topology govern polarization switching in (111)‐oriented PZT. Automated AFM writing, pulsing experiments, and interferometric 3D‐PFM show that raster scans reproducibly stabilize ordered Type‐I stripe superdomains with constrained variant selection, whereas spiral trajectories generate frustrated mixed‐variant ...
