A variable stiffness structure with shape morphing and shape memory capabilities made from layered textiles and 3D printing material is developed. Direct printing of cPLA on textile electrodes maximizes the electrodes' contact area. This work presents a new method for achieving variable stiffness in small segments of soft, deformable structures, using ...

A stretchable and bendable resistance sensor made predominantly from sustainable and biodegradable components is conductive courtesy a water soluble self‐doped conjugated polymer. The wearable sensor measures micromovements by changes in its resistance and it can track both human movement and phonation. Abstract Sustainable electronic devices offer the

Aerosol Jet Printing of Superhydrophobic Surfaces
A novel method for creating spatially programmable superhydrophobic surfaces using an aerosol jet printer is presented. This technique allows precise deposition of micrometer‐sized polymer solution droplets onto a substrate, with control over surface morphology, microstructure, and wettability through solvent evaporation modulation.

Electroless Plating of Copper on Laser‐Induced Graphene for Flexible Hybrid Electronic Applications
Copper‐plated Laser‐Induced Graphene (Cu‐LIG) provides a facile and economical approach to patterning FHEs. This patterning process is enabled by incorporating catalytically active palladium nanoparticles into the LIG structure, which serve as surface reaction sites for reducing copper ions in solution plating.
