Mashup Score: 18Polymerizable rotaxane hydrogels for three-dimensional printing fabrication of wearable sensors - Nature Communications - 1 year(s) ago
While hydrogels find applications in wearable sensors and electronic skins, they are prone to fatigue fractures upon deformation cycling. Xiong et al. report the synthesis of conductive polymerizable rotaxane hydrogels, exhibiting large fatigue resistance, for 3D printable flexible sensors.

Mashup Score: 0Engineers at UBC get under the skin of ionic skin - 2 year(s) ago
In the quest to build smart skin that mimics the sensing capabilities of natural skin, ionic skins have shown significant advantages. They’re made of flexible, biocompatible hydrogels that use ions to carry an electrical charge. These hydrogels can generate voltages when touched, but scientists did not clearly understand how — until a team of researchers at UBC devised a unique experiment,…

Mashup Score: 15Electrically programmable adhesive hydrogels for climbing robots - 3 year(s) ago
Although there have been notable advances in adhesive materials, the ability to program attaching and detaching behavior in these materials remains a challenge. Here, we report a borate ester polymer hydrogel that can rapidly switch between adhesive and nonadhesive states in response to a mild electrical stimulus (voltages between 3.0 and 4.5 V). This behavior is achieved by controlling the…

Mashup Score: 4New Cartilage Grown Using Magnetic Fields and Hydrogels - 4 year(s) ago
Using a magnetic field and hydrogels, a team of researchers in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania have demonstrated a new possible way to rebuild complex body tissues. The new approach can be used to generate living tissues for implantation to fix localized cartilage defects, and may one day be extended to generate living joint surfaces.
