Soft‐Matter Engineering for Soft Robotics

Advanced Materials Technologies, 2018
AbstractSince its inception, the field of robotics has aimed to create machines that mimic the extraordinary capabilities of the human body. From as early as the 1940s, this has included efforts to engineer actuators and electronics out of elastomers, textiles, and other soft materials in order to mimic the compliance and deformability of natural ...

Soft matter nanoscopy

Current Opinion in Colloid & Interface Science, 2018
Abstract Super-resolution microscopy (SRM), also known as nanoscopy, has gained ground in the past decade as a valuable imaging and characterization tool to investigate sub-μm architectures. Widespread is its usage in cell biology and biophysics, while visualization of the inner life of man-made materials is still in its infancy. In this contribution,

A practical guide to active colloids: choosing synthetic model systems for soft matter physics research.

Soft Matter, 2020
Synthetic active colloids that harvest energy stored in the environment and swim autonomously are a popular model system for active matter. This emerging field of research sits at the intersection of materials chemistry, soft matter physics, and ...

Isothermal titration calorimetry: practical approaches and current applications in soft matter.

Soft Matter, 2020
Isothermal Titration Calorimetry (ITC) elucidates the thermodynamic profile (ΔH, ΔS, ΔG, Ka, and stoichiometry) of binding and dissociation reactions in solution. While ITC has primarily been used to investigate the thermodynamics of interactions between

Soft-Matter Nanotubes: A Platform for Diverse Functions and Applications.

Chemical Reviews, 2020
Self-assembled organic nanotubes made of single or multiple molecular components can be classified into soft-matter nanotubes (SMNTs) by contrast with hard-matter nanotubes, such as carbon and other inorganic nanotubes.
