Engineering Strain‐Stiffening Granular Hydrogels for 3D‐Printed Tissue‐Mimicry

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printable strain‐stiffening double‐network granular hydrogel (SDGH) enables independent, region‐specific tuning of toe (EToe) and heel (EHeel) moduli through control of microgel packing and network composition. This platform replicates tissue‐like nonlinear mechanics and allows fabrication of high‐fidelity, multilayered aortic valves with ...

High birefringence tunable effect of microstructured polymer optical fiber

open access: yesActa Physica Sinica, 2008
A new type of microstructured optical fiber with a high birefringence tunable effect is designed by introducing two large air holes in a core region to induce local birefringence and reducing the hole lattices in the x-direction to induce global birefringence.
