Oral administration is a widespread and convenient drug delivery approach. However, oral
delivery can be affected by the complex digestive tract environment, including irregular …

Biological tubular actuators show diverse deformations, which allow for sophisticated
deformations with well-defined degrees of freedom (DOF). Nonetheless, synthetic active …

Enabling the living capability of secreting liquids dynamically triggered by external stimuli
while maintaining the bulk frame is a significant challenge for mucosa‐inspired hydrogels. A …

Lubrication is everywhere in the body and essential for the correct operation of biological
systems when subjected to contact stress and wear. The body is like a continuously …

Biomineralized tough hydrogels (BTHs) have advanced applications in the fields of soft
bioelectronics and biomimetic tissue engineering. But the development of rapid and general …

Over the past decades, functional hydrogels that respond to a variety of mechanical and
chemical stimuli with a volume change of more than 100% have been developed. Despite …

A pneumatic large intestine-like soft robot with McKibben muscles is designed based on
traveling wave motion. The robot consists of four sections, and each section is controlled by …

Thermoresponsive hydrogels (TRHs) are intelligent materials that, when wet, show
volumetric shape deformation in response to temperature change. In contrast to other stimuli …

Although stimuli-responsive microemulsions (MEMs) consisting of water, oil and surfactants
have found extensive potential applications in industrial fields, a responsive MEM exhibiting …

Abstract Poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAm) is widely implemented in responsive soft
actuators. However, there are still defects of low brittleness and poor mechanical properties …
