Switchable Adhesion of Soft Composites Induced by a Magnetic Field

, 2020
Switchable adhesives have the potential to improve the manufacturing and recycling of parts and to enable new modes of motility for soft robots. Here, we demonstrate magnetically-switchable adhesion of a two-phase composite to non-magnetic objects.

A Self‐Healing Permanent Magnet Putty for Soft Robot Skins With Force Sensing and Functional Recovery

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Permanent magnet putty (PMP) integrates high‐coercivity NdFeB particles with a dynamic polyborosiloxane–Ecoflex matrix, achieving rapid self‐healing (90% mechanical recovery in 10 s) and magnetic recovery within 20 min. With twice the sensitivity of commercial putties, PMP enables precise 5–30 N force detection and discrimination between pressing and ...

Limit points in the free inflation of a magnetoelastic toroidal membrane [PDF]

, 2017
One common phenomenon native to inflation of membranes is the elastic limit-point instability–a bifurcation point at which the membrane begins to deform enormously at the slightest increase of pressure.
