Journal ArticleDOI
Adaptive infrared-reflecting systems inspired by cephalopods.
TL;DR: Adapt infrared-reflecting platforms that feature a simple actuation mechanism, low working temperature, tunable spectral range, weak angular dependence, fast response, stability to repeated cycling, amenability to patterning and multiplexing, autonomous operation, robust mechanical properties, and straightforward manufacturability are developed that may open opportunities for infrared camouflage and other technologies that regulate infrared radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stretchable Cephalopod-Inspired Multimodal Camouflage Systems.
TL;DR: Stretchable copolymer membranes are used for the fabrication of mechanically and electrically actuated camouflage devices that function over an unprecedented spectral window and may afford new scientific and technological opportunities not only for adaptive optics and photonics but also for any platform that can benefit from simultaneously controlling visible light and heat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitivity of Pressure Sensors Enhanced by Doping Silver Nanowires
TL;DR: This study may provide a new method of fabricating high performance flexible sensors at relatively low cost compared with sensors based on poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE), (77/23].
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-polarized piezoelectric thin films: preparation, formation mechanism and application
TL;DR: In this article, a facile method is introduced for preparation of porous self-polarized piezoelectric thin films (100-300 nm) by depositing polyvinylidene fluoride solution onto the surface of an aqueous solution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A novel dielectric elastomer actuator based on compliant polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel electrodes
TL;DR: In this article, physically-prepared compliant polyvinyl alcohol hydrogel electrodes were used as a promising supplement in dielectric elastomer actuators, and they demonstrated significant actuating performance under over 5kV with the mechanism of ion migration.
