Surface acoustic waves (SAWs) are the guided waves that propagate along the top surface
of a material with wave vectors orthogonal to the normal direction to the surface. Based on …

Bio‐inspired actuation materials, also called artificial muscles, have attracted great attention
in recent decades for their potential application in intelligent robots, biomedical devices, and …

Existing stretchable, transparent conductors are mostly electronic conductors. They limit the
performance of interconnects, sensors, and actuators as components of stretchable …

The fabrication of transparent, conductive, and uniform silver nanowire films using the
scalable rod-coating technique is described in this study. Properties of the transparent …

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and its copolymers with a particular semi-crystalline
conformation (β) have evolved as lead (Pb)-free alternatives to electroactive perovskite …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are 1D nanostructured materials with unique mechanical, optical,
and electrical properties which can be potentially exploited for fabricating wide variety of …

Large deformation of soft materials is harnessed to provide functions in the nascent field of
soft machines. This paper describes a new class of systems enabled by highly stretchable …

Aligned multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)/polymer composite films are prepared by
solution casting in the presence of an alternating electric field. Application of 7 kV/m at a …

This paper studies the piezoresistive property of the CNT/cement composite to explore its
feasibility as an embedded stress sensor for civil structures such as roadways, levees and …

A flexible, transparent acoustic actuator and nanogenerator based on graphene/P (VDF-
TrFE)/graphene multilayer film is demonstrated. P (VDF-TrFE) is used as an effective do** …
