In recent decades, origami has been explored to aid in the design of engineering structures.
These structures span multiple scales and have been demonstrated to be used toward …

Hydrogels are highly water-swollen molecular networks that are ideal platforms to create
tissue mimetics owing to their vast and tunable properties. As such, hydrogels are promising …

The fracture of highly deformable soft materials is of great practical importance in a wide
range of technological applications, emerging in fields such as soft robotics, stretchable …

The underlying size-dependent mechanism of viscoelastic porous metamaterial structures is
still unclear, and the solution to their response using the high-fidelity numerical method is …

For vitrimer systems obtained by dynamic cross-linking of polymer chains, incompatibility
effects between the cross-links and polymer backbone can lead to microphase separation …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a broad definition of various techniques to produce layer-by-
layer objects made of different materials. In this paper, a comprehensive review of laser …

We develop a fully data-driven model of anisotropic finite viscoelasticity using neural
ordinary differential equations as building blocks. We replace the Helmholtz free energy …

Dynamic materials, which include ionic polymeric materials, contain specific bonds or
interactions that can reversibly break and reform under certain stimuli or conditions. Among …

Growth constitutes a powerful method to post-modulate materials' structures and functions
without compromising their mechanical performance for sustainable use, but the process is …
