Photothermal-Triggered Controlled Drug Release from Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles Based on Base-Pairing Rules

open access: yes, 2019
Base-pairing is stable under physiological temperature but broken by heating, which is the basic mechanism for nucleic acid amplification in biology. In this manuscript, a simple controlled-drug-release system was prepared on the basis of this rule and ...

Liquid Crystalline Elastomers in Soft Robotics: Assessing Promise and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are programmable soft materials that undergo large, anisotropic deformation in response to external stimuli. Their molecular alignment encodes directional actuation in a monolithic structure, making them long‐standing candidates for soft robotic systems.

Photothermal-Responsive Graphene Oxide Membrane with Smart Gates for Water Purification

open access: yes, 2019
In this work, photothermal-responsive graphene oxide (GO)-based membranes intercalated by multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by polydopamine (PDA) modification and 2-ureido-4­[1H]-pyrimidinone (UPy) assembly process.

Numerical Modeling of Photothermal Self‐Excited Composite Oscillators

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
We present a numerical framework for simulating photothermal self‐excited oscillations. The driving mechanism is elucidated by highlighting the roles of inertia and overshoot, as well as the phase lag between the thermal moment and the oscillation angle, which together construct the feedback loop between the system state and the environmental stimulus.
