Hydrogel‐Based Method for High‐Resolution Measurements of Contact Mechanics in Rapid Biological Adhesives: A Case Study in Cuttlefish Tentacle Strikes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlefish and squid can catch their prey within milliseconds using specialized tentacles and suckers. The physics of how the suckers can attach so quickly has remained a mystery given the technical challenges of studying them in vivo. In this publication, we develop a hydrogel that retains imprints of the suckers in order to estimate the forces they ...

A Particle‐Level Dual‐Polymer Interphase for Coupled Interfacial and Contact Stabilization of Zinc Metal Powder Anodes in Aqueous Zinc‐Ion Batteries

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A particle‐level dual‐polymer interphase of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) stabilizes zinc metal powder anodes by coupling CMC‐mediated water regulation with PAA‐derived Zn2+ affinity. This synergy suppresses hydrogen evolution, corrosion, and byproduct accumulation while preserving electrode‐level electrical contact ...

Architected Bio‐Based Iontronic Skin With Dual‐Mode Pressure and Strain Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bio‐based acrylates in combination with an ionic liquid create 3D‐printed ionogels with compositionally tuneable mechanics and ionic conductivity. Gyroid architectures amplify low‐pressure sensitivity while preserving robust strain sensing, enabling dual‐mode detection of pressure and deformation.
