TL;DR: An ingenious design strategy for the microfabrication of complex geometric 3D mesostructures that derive from the out-of-plane buckling of an originally planar structural layout is developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Materials as Machines
TL;DR: This review summarizes the material transformation mechanisms, mechanical design, and robotic integration of responsive materials including shape memory alloys, piezoelectrics, dielectric elastomer actuators, ionic electroactive polymers, pneumatics and hydraulics systems, shape memory polymers (SMPs), hydrogels, and liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) and networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and alignment of liquid crystalline elastomers
Katie M. Herbert,Hayden E. Fowler,Joselle M. McCracken,Kyle R. Schlafmann,Jeremy A. Koch,Timothy J. White +5 more
TL;DR: A review of the synthesis and processing of liquid crystalline elastomers can be found in this paper, where the authors examine the mechanical response of LCEs to stimuli and survey approaches for mechanical alignment, surface-enforced alignment, field-induced alignment and rheological alignment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ionic Hydrogels with Biomimetic 4D-Printed Mechanical Gradients: Models for Soft-Bodied Aquatic Organisms
Joselle M. McCracken,Brittany M. Rauzan,Jacob C. E. Kjellman,Hanxiao Su,Simon A. Rogers,Ralph G. Nuzzo,Ralph G. Nuzzo +6 more
TL;DR: Direct-ink writing (DIW) as mentioned in this paper is a rapidly growing and advancing form of additive manufacturing, providing capacities for on-demand tailoring of materials to meet specific requirements for final designs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Programming Mechanical and Physicochemical Properties of 3D Hydrogel Cellular Microcultures via Direct Ink Writing
