Liquids as Reinforcements for Anisotropic and Tough Soft Matter Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid metal droplets are shaped and oriented within soft elastomers to create all‐soft matter composites with programmable mechanical anisotropy. These liquid inclusions act as fiber‐like reinforcements, enabling directional stiffness, enhanced toughness, and controlled crack steering under extreme deformation, offering new routes to resilient soft ...

Tunable Sensitivity in PAN/CNF/PEDOT:PSS Nanofiber‐Based Piezocapacitive Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates highly tunable, flexible pressure sensors made from a nanofibrous composite of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) and carbon nanofibers (CNF) or poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS). By adjusting filler type, concentration, and mat thickness, the sensors achieve large sensitivity improvements, stable ...

Note on the Rayleigh waves properties in viscoelastic media

open access: yesArchives of Mechanics
This paper describes a theory for surface Rayleigh waves propagating in a viscoelastic medium. The Zener model to describe the viscoelastic behavior of the medium is used. This simple model captures both the relaxation and retardation.

Interfaces in Large Area 2D Materials Integration: From Epitaxial Growth and Clean Transfer to Interface‐Dominated Performance

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This Review proposes an interface‐centric framework for large‐area 2D materials integration, linking wafer‐scale single‐crystal epitaxy, clean transfer and deterministic stacking, and interface‐dominated structure–property–device correlations. We summarize how interfacial symmetry and energetics govern nucleation/coalescence and adhesion‐controlled ...

Hybrid Magnetoactive Soft Elastomers: Material Development Toward Application in Diaphragm Pumps

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hybrid magnetoactive soft elastomeric membranes are developed by combining two different types of magnetic particles. The membranes exhibit distinct mechanical, magnetic and thermal properties owing to the unique characteristics of the two magnetic particles.

Fabrication Technologies for Soft, Multimaterial Optical Fibers for In Vivo Diagnostics and Phototherapy, With a Focus on Extrusion Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Soft multimaterial optical fibers integrate multiple functionalities—such as waveguiding, side emission, sensing, drug delivery or actuation—into a single filament for wearable, implantable, and tissue‐integrated devices for diagnostics and phototherapy.
