Stiffening Liquid Crystal Elastomers with Liquid Crystal Inclusions
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Incorporation of low molecular weight liquid crystals (LC) into liquid crystal elastomers (LCE) leads to a significant increase in their stiffness and output work density. Such remarkable stiffening is attributed to nanoscale phase‐separation and the formation of induced‐smectic domains in polydomain and monodomain LC‐LCEs, respectively.

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.A synthetic strategy for the formation of Pt islands and their transformation into Pt atomic strings on Ru nanoparticle surfaces is presented. The thermodynamically favored configuration of Pt strings on Ru catalyst is demonstrated to catalyze HER via the faster Volmer–Tafel pathway with a significantly improved intrinsic activity, owing to the well ...

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This work demonstrates a strategy to spatially control supramolecular chirality by leveraging spontaneous twist self‐assembly in liquid crystal materials. It is generated by periodic zigzag line defects that define alternating enantiomeric domains, stabilized by a polymer network. This approach enables precise defect engineering, tunable chirality, and

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.The properties of 2D conjugated metal–organic frameworks (2D c‐MOFs) are related to their structure and are influenced by the synthesis conditions. Here, in situ, Raman and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) are used to determine Raman marker bands that characterise the reaction progress and yield of phthalocyanine‐based 2D Cu2[ZnPc‐O8] MOFs. Thus,

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.This article demonstrates that encasing a hyperelastic balloon in an inextensible sleeve greatly increases its burst pressure. This simple mechanical behavior can be used to produce an asymmetric inflation‐deflation sequence for coupled balloons with different thicknesses so they could serve as a soft robot's rear and front anchors when driven from a ...

Pick‐and‐Place Grippers with Tunable Adhesion from Capped Soft Hollow Pillar Structure
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Mushroom‐shaped soft hollow pillars (SHPs) with a mushroom cap, or capped SHPs (C‐SHPs) are introduced for improved tunable adhesion under pneumatic actuation. The mushroom cap optimizes stress distribution and alters crack initiation on the contact interface, leading to significantly improved adhesion strength and tunability.
