Forces that Drive Nanoscale Self-assembly on Solid Surfaces
Zhigang Suo,Wei Lu +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a model that accounts for the self-assembly behavior of a two-component monolayer grown on a solid surface is presented, where the phase boundary energy drives phase coarsening and the concentration-dependent surface stress drives phase refining.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Lesson from Plants: High-Speed Soft Robotic Actuators.
Richard Baumgartner,Alexander Kogler,Josef M. Stadlbauer,Choon Chiang Foo,Rainer Kaltseis,Melanie Baumgartner,Guoyong Mao,Christoph Keplinger,Soo Jin Adrian Koh,Nikita Arnold,Zhigang Suo,Martin Kaltenbrunner,Siegfried Bauer +12 more
TL;DR: A soft balloon actuator is presented, which is inspired by such mechanical instabilities and creates safe, giant, and fast deformations and can help pave the way for applications ranging from haptic displays to soft grippers and high‐speed sorting machines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Indentation: A simple, nondestructive method for characterizing the mechanical and transport properties of pH-sensitive hydrogels
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used instrumented indentation to characterize the mechanical and transport behavior of a pH-sensitive hydrogel in various aqueous buffer solutions, and they demonstrated the utility of indentation techniques in the characterization of pH sensitive hydrogels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyacrylamide hydrogels. II. elastic dissipater
Junjie Liu,Junjie Liu,Canhui Yang,Canhui Yang,Tenghao Yin,Tenghao Yin,Zhengjin Wang,Zhengjin Wang,Shaoxing Qu,Zhigang Suo +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a polyacrylamide hydrogel of various thicknesses, and record the steady peel forces were analyzed and shown to be a potent toughening mechanism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dielectric elastomers of interpenetrating networks
Zhigang Suo,Jian Zhu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a model of interpenetrating networks of long and short chains, where the network with long chains fills the space and keeps elastomer complaint at small to modest deformation.
