Engineering polymer film porosity for solvent triggered actuation.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report a novel approach for the fabrication of porous polymer films and their self-folding behavior in response to water and show that the pore architecture in the films significantly enhances the actuation speed.

An embedded interface regulates the underwater actuation of solvent-responsive soft grippers
TL;DR: In this paper , the role of an embedded interface between two polymer thin films in determining the overall folding and actuation characteristics of a bilayer system applied for gripping submerged objects is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transient Analysis for Two-Dimensional Chemo-Mechanical Coupled Problem
TL;DR: In this article, the two-dimensional chemo-mechanical coupled problem in the polar coordinates is studied under plane strain assumption, and transient analytical expressions for concentration and stresses are obtained using a displacement potential function and Airy stress function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intrinsic-water desorption induced thermomechanical response of hydrogels.
TL;DR: In this article , an interplay between the desorption of intrinsic water and relaxation of polymer chains was reported, resulting in an unusual thermomechanical response of a hydrogel, wherein the elastic modulus increases in a certain temperature range followed by a sharp decrease with a further increase in temperature.

Thermodynamics of High Polymer Solutions
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical treatment of high polymer solutions has been carried out on the basis of an idealized model, originally proposed by Meyer, which is analogous to the one ordinarily assumed in the derivation of the ''ideal'' solution laws for molecules of equal size.
