Reprogrammable liquid-metal/NdFeB/silicone composite magnetic elastomer

AIP Advances, 2023
Programming the patterned magnetization profile on the magnetic elastomer can enable the magnetic soft robot to produce controlled deformation. But the magnetization profiles are usually unchangeable, which leads to the single function of magnetic soft ...

Starch/Silicone Elastomers and Foams

Sustainability, 2023
While the beneficial physical properties of silicone polymers are exploited in many sustainable applications, the high energy requirement for their synthesis compromises to a degree their sustainability. We report a strategy to mitigate this issue by filling the silicone with inexpensive and renewable starch.

Development of Silicone Elastomer for Use in the Assessment of Padded Clothing in Rugby Union

Proceedings, 2020
Rugby Union is a collision sport, with both player to player and player to pitch impacts being frequent. Current test standards for padded clothing in rugby use impact surrogates, which may not accurately replicate the human response. Modern technologies
