The intrinsic compliance of soft robots provides safety, a natural adaptation to its
environment, allows to absorb shocks, and protects them against mechanical impacts …

Soft robots are, due to their softness, inherently safe and adapt well to unstructured
environments. However, they are prone to various damage types. Self‐healing polymers …

Inspired by the compliance found in many organisms, soft robots are made almost entirely
out of flexible, soft material, making them suitable for applications in uncertain, dynamic task …

Engineering materials and devices can be damaged during their service life as a result of
mechanical fatigue, punctures, electrical breakdown, and electrochemical corrosion. This …

In this study, we developed nature-inspired multi-functional polymeric fibers (called
BioFiber) to deliver bio-self-healing agents into cementitious materials. BioFibers were …

Recently, the Diels–Alder reaction between furan and maleimide functional groups has
been exploited in dynamic reversible covalent networks, introducing a healing ability and …

The field of self-healing soft robots was initiated a few years ago. A healing ability can be
integrated in soft robots by manufacturing their soft membranes out of synthetic self-healing …

The sustainability of epoxy thermosets (EPs) and EP-based composites is always limited by
the evolution of internal microcracks and flammability. Herein, inspired by the drug release …

Abstract Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is a well-known additive manufacturing technique
that builds 3D complex structures by sintering powder particles together upon laser …

The healing behavior of a dynamically reversible covalent polymer network with a T g of 3°
C, based on the reversible Diels-Alder (DA) cycloaddition between furan and maleimide …
