Polymer electrolytes (PEs), a type of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs), have been in contention
for nearly half a century to replace organic liquid electrolytes (LEs) that are used in state-of …

The full realisation of optical fibres in devices such as sensors is reliant on the stability of
their polymer coating under in-service conditions. Depending on the application, resistance …

Polymeric gel‐based artificial muscles exhibiting tissue‐matched Young's modulus (10 Pa–
1 MPa) promise to be core components in future soft machines with inherently safe human …

Acrylate chemistry has found widespread use in dual-curing systems over the years.
Acrylates are cheap, easily handled and versatile monomers that can undergo facile chain …

Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) have been considered one of the most promising
material concepts for artificial muscles. However, accomplishing actuation of LCEs requires …

Liquid-crystalline elastomers (LCEs) are frequently used in soft actuator development.
However, applications are limited because LCEs are prone to mechanical failure when …

An environmentally-friendly synthesis method of bio-based polyester acrylate that is useful
for UV-curable coating was studied. In this study, itaconic acid and ethoxylated diglycerol …
