Robotic Materials With Bioinspired Microstructures for High Sensitivity and Fast Actuation
In the review paper, design rationale and approaches for bioinspired sensors and actuators in robotics applications are presented. These bioinspired microstructure strategies implemented in both can improve the performance in several ways. Also, recent ideas and innovations that embed robotic materials with logic and computation with it are part of the

Effect of silicone coupling agent on dielectric properties of barium titanate/silicone elastomer composites [PDF]
Abstract BaTiO 3 is a type of ceramic with a high dielectric constant, while silicone is a type of elastomer with low elastic modules. Composites made by blending these two materials together can obtain both of their advantages, which has many possible applications in the area of actuators or mechanical sensors.
