Review of Thermally Activated Twisted Coiled Polymer Actuators: A Materials Science Perspective

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Thermally activated twisted and coiled polymer actuators (TCPAs) combine lightweight design, large deformation, and scalable fabrication for soft robotic and wearable applications. This review connects polymer structure, processing history, helix geometry, and thermomechanical characterization to actuator performance, highlighting current challenges in

Shaping Matter with Acoustic Waves: From Particles to Functional Structures

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Acoustic‐directed assembly is reviewed as a materials‐oriented strategy for organizing particles, polymers, metals, and biological systems into functional structures. The review distinguishes reversible manipulation from permanent structure formation through medium fixation, particle fixation, and in situ material generation, highlighting routes toward

Packed Hydrogel Microfibers as Scaffolds Supporting Dynamic Cellular Behavior and Biomaterial Inks in 3D Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Packed hydrogel microfiber (PHM) materials consist of flexible and high aspect ratio hydrogel components that, as a bulk material, are simultaneously mechanically robust and dynamic. Cells cultured in or on PHM scaffolds can be influenced by topographical cues or interact with a dynamic environment that permits cell spreading and multicellular ...

Well-posedness of a fully nonlinear evolution inclusion of second order

open access: yesJournal of Elliptic and Parabolic Equations
The well-posedness of the abstract \textsc{Cauchy} problem for the doubly nonlinear evolution inclusion equation of second order \begin{align*} \begin{cases} u''(t)+\partial Ψ(u'(t))+B(t,u(t))\ni f(t), &\quad t\in (0,T),\, T>0,\\ u(0)=u_0, \quad u'(0)=v_0 \end{cases} \end{align*} in a real separable \textsc{Hilbert} space $\mathscr{H}$, where ...

Almost-periodicity problem as a fixed-point problem for evolution inclusions

open access: yes, 2001
Existence of almost-periodic solutions to quasi-linear evolution inclusions under a Stepanov almost-periodic forcing is nontraditionally examined by means of the Banach-like and the Schauder-Tikhonov-like fixed-point theorems.
