Development of Heat Engines Powered by Twisted and Coiled Polymer Fiber Actuators
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Continuously rotating engines driven by thermally responsive actuating materials can turn waste heat into useful energy. For the first time heat engines operated by twisted and coiled polymer fiber actuators are demonstrated with engine design guided by two simple analytical models.

3D Printing of Stretchable, Compressible and Conductive Porous Polyurethane for Soft Robotics
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A 3D‐printable porous dopamine‐polyurethane acrylate elastomer results in conductive, stretchable, and compressible structures that can be metallized in situ through catechol‐mediated silver reduction. The resulting material function as both compliant soft robot with a and strain sensors without complex assemblies, enabling fully 3D‐printed soft ...

Adhesive Double‐Network Granular Organogel E‐Skin
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.We introduce a double‐network granular organogel adhesive for electronic skin, overcoming adhesion and strength trade‐offs. It provides reversible, robust bonding and ionic conductivity, enabling wearable and soft robotic e‐skin. Thanks to the e‐skin adhesive, a soft robotic trunk can recognize touch, temperature, humidity, and acidity.
