Abstract: Shape memory hydrogel is a type of hydrogel whose shape can transform between a temporary shape and its initial shape when exposed to external stimuli, such as water, temperature, and pH. Over the last decade, shape memory ...

Abstract: Bistable metamaterials, characterized by their ability to transition between two stable configurations, find applications in the fields of morphing structures, energy harvesting systems, and bionics. Shape memory polymers ...

Abstract: When exposed to an external solvent, a dry polymeric network imbibes the solvent and undergoes large deformation. The resulting aggregate is known as a hydrogel. This swelling process is diffusion driven and thus results ...

Abstract: Metallic glasses (MGs) are often perceived as quintessential structural materials due to their superior mechanical properties such as high strength and large elastic limit. In practical applications, service conditions ...
