Hygromnemics: Programmable Material Memory Matter Actuators via Wet Pre‐Constraining

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Humidity‐based pre‐constraining creates hygromnemics‐shape memory matter. From identical biocomposites actuation in dry and wet states is obtained via hygromnemic and hygromorphic actuation, respectively. Hygromnemic actuators present long‐ and short‐term shape memory abilities.

Adaptive Elastin‐Like Hydrogel with Unidirectional and Controllable Anisotropic Actuation for Soft Robotics and Tissue Engineering

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fiber‐reinforced elastin‐like tubular scaffolds are engineered to achieve anisotropic and reversible actuation under external stimuli. By adjusting fiber's angle, actuation behavior is finely tuned, enabling distinct actuation responses, even within different regions of the same scaffold.

Synergistic Microcrack Engineering and Auxetic Metamaterials for Enhanced Sensitivity in Stretchable Strain Sensors

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A highly sensitive crack‐based piezoresistive strain sensor is developed using a biaxially pre‐stretched multi‐walled carbon nanotubes/Ecoflex composite and integrated with auxetic metamaterials. Biaxial pre‐stretching improves the sensitivity by 56% compared to the uniaxially pre‐stretched strain sensor.

When Cellulose Moves: Smart Sensors and Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This review highlights cellulose‐derived soft actuators alongside with cellulose‐based sensors. Emphasis is placed on their integration into multifunctional devices that couple sensing and actuation to mimic natural motion and adaptability. We also discuss the challenges of achieving robust, reversible, and multi‐stimuli‐responsive motion, and outline ...
