New magnetic polymer enables stronger and more flexible artificial muscles in soft robotics
Despite their remarkable flexibility, today’s soft artificial muscles struggle to deliver meaningful force. This ...
The authors explain that unlike in Figure 4, this polymer is linked by a thioester bond, which is considerably more stable than a disulfide bond (5). Note that the reaction product has a sulfhydryl ...
Recently, a research team led by Professor Zhengwei You from the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Fiber Materials at Donghua University published an ...
The rational development of polymeric structures requires a deep understanding at both molecular and macroscopic scales. Several methods are used to analyze the structure of polymers, such as ...
