MAGTWIST: A Magnetically‐Driven Rotary Actuator Using a Traveling‐Wave With Integrated Stiffness Tunability

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
MAGTWIST: A compact magnetic rotary actuator, enabling smooth, stepless rotation, and on‐demand locking. Inspired by peristalsis, a soft polymer belt generates a traveling‐wave, enabling 270° rotation when heated. Cooling stiffens the belt, locking it in position and enabling it to withstand high loads.

Thermoresponsive hydrogels in biomedical applications [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2008
Environmentally responsive hydrogels have the ability to turn from solution to gel when a specific stimulus is applied. Thermoresponsive hydrogels utilize temperature change as the trigger that determines their gelling behavior without any additional external factor.

Prevention of Hair Heat Damage via Thermoresponsive Organic Silicon-Modified Keratin

open access: yesMolecules
Heat damage is a common phenomenon that often occurs when drying and straightening hair. After heat damage, the hydrophobic barrier on the hair’s surface becomes disrupted, thereby altering the hair’s hydrophilicity. Meanwhile, during the process of heat
