Liquid Crystal Elastomer Actuator Matrix for Large Area Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A scalable approach is used to manufacture a digitally‐controllable, 2D 5 × 5 actuator matrix. The elements of the matrix are produced by direct ink writing of a liquid crystal elastomer ‘artificial muscle’ on large‐area flexible thin‐film heaters. In optimizing the low‐power actuators, multiple heater designs and substrate materials are investigated ...

A Constraint‐Based Analytical Framework for Design‐Space Analysis and Material Screening of Tubular Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Pumps for Extracorporeal Circulatory Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

Biodegradable and Edible Milli‐Fluidic Logic Circuits

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Fully biodegradable and edible fluidic circuits are developed using gelatin‐based valves that operate at low pressure. Logic gates, a one‐bit memory, and a ring oscillator are demonstrated, showing that biodegradable materials can perform computation and control.

Liquid Metal Resistive Sensing Architectures for Measuring Diaphragm Strain Responses on Obstructed Surfaces

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A liquid metal‐based strain‐sensing architecture to measure the deformation of a circular diaphragm against obstructed surfaces is formulated using finite element modeling and confocal imaging to establish the mechanical framework and is utilized to control diaphragm‐induced confinement on a bead array, as validated by biomolecular loading level ...
