Journal ArticleDOI
Self-healing soft pneumatic robots
TL;DR: This research proposes to construct soft robotics entirely out of self-healing elastomers, on the basis of healing capacities found in nature, and shows how realistic macroscopic damage could be healed entirely using a mild heat treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
A self-healing polymer network based on reversible covalent bonding
TL;DR: In this paper, a self-healing polymer network for potential coating applications was designed based on the concept of the reversible Diels-Alder (DA) reaction between a furan functionalized compound and a bismaleimide.

TL;DR: Criteria to evaluate the potential of a self- healing polymer to be used in soft robotic applications is proposed and the different types of self-healing polymers already available in literature are critically assessed and compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical, physical and chemical characterisation of mycelium-based composites with different types of lignocellulosic substrates.
TL;DR: Experimental results show that mycelium-composites can fulfil the requirements of thermal insulation and have the potential to replace fosile-based composites.

Mechanical, physical and chemical characterisation of mycelium-based composites with different types of lignocellulosic substrates
TL;DR: This is the first study reporting the dry density, the Young’s modulus, the compressive stiffness, the stress-strain curves, the thermal conductivity, the water absorption rate and a complete FTIR analyse of mycelium-based composites by making use of a disclosed protocol with T. versicolor.
