Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.

Direct evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity in poly(vinylidene fluoride‐co‐trifluoroethylene) random copolymers

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.
Direct experimental evidence for electrostriction‐enhanced piezoelectricity is obtained for a quenched‐stretched‐annealed‐poled P(VDF‐TrFE) 52/48 mol.% random copolymer using time‐resolved small‐angle X‐ray scattering and wide‐angle X‐ray diffraction. Upon stretching up to 6% strain, the crystallinity (xc) increases 10% at the expense of the contents ...

Plea for Defect Chemistry: The Fundamental Role of the Chemically Excited States in Solid‐State Chemistry and Beyond

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, Volume 652, Issue 7, 6 May 2026.
In solids, the point defects take the role that in water is held by H3O+, OH−, and solutes. While the chemical ground structure (crystallographic structure) plays the role of the matrix, it is the chemically excited states (dissociation, disorder) that breathe life into the matter.
