Bio‐Inspired Artificial Muscle‐Tendon Complex of Liquid Crystal Elastomer for Bidirectional Afferent‐Efferent Signaling

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
The Muscle–tendon complex (MTC)‐inspired Liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) artificial muscle integrates actuation (efferent) and proprioceptive sensing (afferent) by combining contractile nematic and elastic isotropic LCEs within a single soft structure. Embedded liquid metal channels enable simultaneous Joule heating and real‐time sensing of length and ...

Investigating the Effect of Aging on the Viscosity of Tendon Fascicles and Fibers

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2019
In the current work, we investigate the effect of aging on the viscosity of tendon subunits. To that scope, we make use of experimental relaxation curves of healthy and aged tendon fascicles and fibers, upon which we identify the viscosity parameters ...

Wireless Acousto‐Piezoelectric Conduit with Aligned Nanofibers for Neural Regeneration

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
An ultrasound‐driven, highly aligned piezoelectric nanofiber‐based nerve guidance conduit (APNF‐NGC) designed for effective peripheral nerve repair has been demonstrated in this study. Featuring aligned topology, cell‐adhesive surfaces, and an axial electric field, the APNF‐NGC collectively promotes significant nerve regeneration.

How Does a Delicate Insect Wing Resist Damage? Chitin Orientation Is Adapted to the Mechanical Demands at the Nanoscale

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Nanoscale chitin fiber orientations in the insect wing play a critical role in adapting to complex mechanical demands. These findings reveal two distinct and functionally adaptive chitin orientation patterns in the membranes that vary regionally, optimizing mechanical resilience and deformation control.
