Ultra‐Thin Tow‐Based Discontinuous Composites—Material Overview and Aspirations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Tow‐based discontinuous composites made from ultra‐thin tapes offer outstanding in‐plane mechanical properties. This material, inspired by Nacre, has high volume fraction of tapes exceeding 90 % and allows for quasi‐isotropic material plates less than 100 micrometer in thickness.

Architectural Tuning of Bouligand Electrospun Laminates Enables Coupled Mechanical Robustness and Electromechanical Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioinspired Bouligand architectures are translated into biodegradable polymer laminates with integrated sensing, revealing how structural design governs multifunctional performance. A 20° interlayer rotation optimizes strength, flexibility, and electromechanical response, while embedded nanotube networks enable real‐time damage detection and wearable ...

Numerical analysis of proposed tubular perfobond shear connector

open access: yes, 2021
The most common means for connection between steel and concrete is mechanical, usually through shear connectors. Currently, numerous shear connectors are available to designers which have been subject of study in the past decades. Eurocode 4 prescribes a

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

open access: yesAdvanced 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 ...

High‐Modulus Skeleton‐Reinforced PDMS Microstamps for Precision Transfer Printing of Microscale Devices

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Elastomeric micropillars bend under contact loading, sliding microscale devices out of alignment during transfer printing. A hybrid PDMS stamp embeds a high‐modulus skeleton within each pillar while retaining a compliant contact surface. The reinforcement confines pillar deformation, suppressing interfacial sliding and preserving array registration on ...
