Memory formation in matter is a theme of broad intellectual relevance; it sits at the
interdisciplinary crossroads of physics, biology, chemistry, and computer science. Memory …

The most common and abundant polymer in nature is the linear polysaccharide cellulose,
but processing it requires a new approach since cellulose degrades before melting and …

Abstract 3D-printable, flexible, and conductive thermoplastic-based material was
successfully developed for strain sensing applications. Thermoplastic polyurethane …

Self-healing polymers render their life cycle more sustainable by recovering their properties
upon healing. Intrinsic self-healing polymers can be recycled, which further reduces waste …

A flexible, biocompatible, nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR)-based strain sensor with high
stretchability, good sensitivity, and excellent repeatability is presented for the first time …

Soft polymeric materials such as elastomers and hydrogels have played a significant role in
recent interdisciplinary research. They are subjected to large stretch and high cyclic loading …

We show that the nonlinear mechanical response of networks formed from un–cross-linked
fibrin or collagen type I continually changes in response to repeated large-strain loading. We …

Fabricating complex sensor platforms is still a challenge because conventional sensors are
discrete, directional, and often not integrated within the system at the material level. Here …

Fiber-based strain sensors have attracted widespread concern of researchers due to large
specific surface area, good stretchability and remarkable flexibility. In this work, a stretchable …

Materials with programmable conductivity and stiffness offer new design opportunities for
next-generation engineered systems in soft robotics and electronic devices. However …
