Magnetic Actuation Under DC and AC Fields of Thermoplastic Polyurethane With Strontium Hexaferrite
Magnetic thermoplastic polyurethane composites with strontium hexaferrite (SrFe12O19) are produced through a solvent‐free melt‐mixing technique. These composites display a magnetomechanical actuation mechanism, being able to deform (bend and twist) through DC and AC magnetic fields, showcasing their potential as a promising material for the fabrication

Direct Ink Writing of Carbon‐Based Electrofluids for Soft Electrical Component Manufacturing
This work explores the manufacturing of Electrofluids (EFs), conductive particle suspensions that flow while maintaining conductivity, for soft electrical components. Using Direct Ink Writing (DIW), patterned EFs achieve enhanced performance, including a 800% sensitivity boost in strain gauges. Through rheological studies, a printability map is created

This study examines a soft gripper with a NiTiCu6 Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire embedded in a graphene nanoparticle (GNP)‐functionalized PDMS matrix. Comparing GNP‐enhanced and plain elastomer prototypes, results show that GNPs improve cooling rates, accelerating release by 40%, but increase energy consumption in low‐current activations.

A novel multi‐stamping on multi‐prestrain (MSMP) process is proposed, where sensor elements are transferred onto a substrate under different prestrains (0–150%) within a single integrated platform. This MSMP approach not only resolves the mismatch issue in stretchable wearable electronics, but also ensures that each sensor element exhibits optimal ...

A corrugated origami TENG (CO‐TENG) soft sensor utilizes paper self‐folding technology to create battery‐free devices by laminating and folding sheet materials. In the object drop test, the voltage generated by CO‐TENG is classified with machine learning to achieve an accuracy of 98.9%, which shows its potential for smart cushioning devices.
