Abstract 3D printing alias additive manufacturing can transform 3D virtual models created by
computer-aided design (CAD) into physical 3D objects in a layer-by-layer manner …

With the rapidly growing attention to human-robot interfaces, soft robotics has attracted a
great deal of interest. Soft robots have diverse advantages, including compliancy and safety …

3D printing (also called “additive manufacturing” or “rapid prototyping”) is able to translate
computer-aided and designed virtual 3D models into 3D tangible constructs/objects through …

Although the encrypted anti‐counterfeiting technology based on infiltration‐controlled
photonic crystals has attracted widespread attention, the information has only hidden and …

Nanosized crosslinked polymer networks, named as nanogels, are playing an increasingly
important role in a diverse range of applications by virtue of their porous structures, large …

Vitrimers, with their unique dynamic covalent bonds, possess attractive self‐healability and
mechanical robustness, providing an intriguing opportunity to construct functional soft …

Photonic crystals, which are materials with periodic dielectric constants on the
submicroscale, have been the focus of research for an extended period. Photonic soft …

Thermochromism denotes the phenomenon of a color change with dependence on
temperature. The red color of the ruby, for example, transforms on heating, when exceeding …

We describe here the advantages of oligo (ethylene glycol)‐based (co) polymers for
preparing thermoresponsive materials as diverse as polymer‐enzyme bio‐hybrids …

A novel anisotropic hydrogel, consisting of lamellar bilayers and a polymer network, with
unidirectional alignment of the bilayer structure has been synthesized. The unidirectional …
