Photothermomechanically Efficient, Low‐Cost, High‐Cycle‐Life, Hybrid MXene‐Polymer Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
The addition of MXenes to elastomer‐plastic‐paper films enables the creation of easily prepared actuators that are scalable for small robotic applications. Known as MXene‐polymer Trilayer Actuators (MPTAs), they bend from UV light. Their usefulness is demonstrated through kirigami‐inspired flower‐shaped art design, parallel manipulator for waveguiding,

Design and Fabrication of High Dielectric GRIN Lens for a Directive Antenna Using a Hybrid Filled Voxel Additive Manufacturing Technique

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Hybrid‐filled voxel AM enables integration of high‐permittivity materials into additively manufactured devices. Using this approach, a graded refractive index (GRIN) lens is demonstrated, achieving a 50% antenna size reduction with enhanced directivity.

Laser Micromachining of Liquid Metal Patterns for Stretchable Electronic Circuits

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A cleanroom‐free fabrication strategy combines UV‐laser micromachining with a copper foil wetting layer to rapidly produce high resolution, liquid metal based stretchable electronic circuits on diverse substrates. The scalable, maskless process enables complex circuit designs (<$<$3 h, ∼$\sim$15/device) with excellent electrical stability under strain,

Hydrostatic actuation for wearable robotics

Exoskeletons require energy efficient actuators of low mass and volume (to increase wearability) with controlled output force, sufficient for full gait support. The main research objective of this work was to develop such an actuator.First, the concept of the passive return electro-hydrostatic actuator (PREHydrA) was developed.
