Cephalopod-Inspired Stretchable Self-Morphing Skin Via Embedded Printing and Twisted Spiral Artificial Muscles

Cutaneous muscles drive the texture-modulation behavior of cephalopods by protruding several millimeters out of the skin. Inspired by cephalopods, a self-morphing, stretchable smart skin containing embedded-printed electrodes and actuated by Twisted Spiral Artificial Muscles (TSAMs) is proposed. Electrothermally actuated TSAMs are manufactured from inexpensive polymer fibers to mimic the papillae muscles of cephalopods. These spirals can produce strains of nearly 2000% using a voltage of only 0.02 V mm⁻¹. Stretchable and low-resistance liquid metal electrodes are embedded-printed inside the self-morphing skin to facilitate the electrothermal actuation of TSAMs. Theoretical and numerical models are proposed to describe the embedded printing of low-viscosity Newtonian liquid metals as conductive electrodes in a soft elastomeric substrate. Experimental mechanical tests are performed to demonstrate the robustness and electrical stability of the electrodes. Two smart skin prototypes are fabricated to highlight the capabilities of the proposed self-morphing system, including a texture-modulating wearable soft glove and a waterproof skin that emulates the texture-modulation behavior of octopi underwater. The proposed self-morphing stretchable smart skin can find use in a wide range of applications, such as refreshable Braille displays, haptic feedback devices, turbulence tripping, and antifouling devices for underwater vehicles.     

Electrospinning Multilayered Scaffolds Loaded with Melatonin and Fe3O4 Magnetic Nanoparticles for Peripheral Nerve Regeneration

Peripheral nerve injury is a common clinical problem bringing heavy burden to patients, due to its high incidence and unsatisfactory treatment. Nerve guidance conduit (NGC) is a promising scaffold for peripheral nerve repair, and bioactive agents are applied for great functional recovery. Melatonin (MLT) and Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄‐MNPs) are proven to inhibit oxidative stress, inflammation, and induce nerve regeneration. Herein, a multilayered composite NGC loaded with MLT and Fe₃O₄‐MNPs is designed for sequential and sustainable drug release, creating an appropriate microenvironment for nerve regeneration. The composite scaffold shows sufficient mechanical strength and biocompatibility in vitro, and evidently promotes morphological, functional, and electrophysiological recovery of regenerated sciatic nerves in vivo. This work proves that the multilayered conduits show great prospect in the long‐term nerve defects treatment due to easy manufacture and desired efficacy.

单晶SiC电化学腐蚀及化学机械抛光

通过电化学工作站对4英寸(1英寸=2.54 cm)n型单晶SiC(4H-SiC)进行电化学腐蚀特性研究,采用36GPAW-TD单面抛光机对其Si面和C面进行了化学机械抛光(CMP)。结果表明,采用H2O2和NaClO作为氧化剂,均可促进SiC的电化学腐蚀并提高其抛光去除速率,其促进作用与氧化剂浓度和抛光液的pH值密切相关。选择含体积分数5%的H2O2、pH值为12的SiO2抛光液对SiC进行CMP,得到的Si面抛光速率可以达到285.7 nm/h。在含H2O2抛光液中引入适量的NaNO3和十二烷基硫酸钠,SiC表现出较高的腐蚀电位绝对值和去除速率。在H2O2和NaClO抛光液体系中,SiC的去除速率与其腐蚀电位的绝对值正相关,该结果对实际应用有一定的借鉴意义。
