Soft materials often exhibit a distinctive power-law viscoelastic response arising from broad
distribution of time-scales present in their complex internal structure. A promising tool to …

The enormous variety of polysaccharides that can be extracted from marine plants and
animal organisms or produced by marine bacteria means that the field of marine …

Biomimetic skin-like electric materials have been rapidly developed for human–machine
interfaces, health monitoring, and soft robots. However, achieving a combination of …

Polysaccharide-based biomaterials are an emerging class in several biomedical fields such
