The intrinsic compliance of soft robots provides safety, a natural adaptation to its
environment, allows to absorb shocks, and protects them against mechanical impacts …

Soft robots are, due to their softness, inherently safe and adapt well to unstructured
environments. However, they are prone to various damage types. Self‐healing polymers …

Based on the triboelectrification and electrostatic induction coupling, triboelectric
nanogenerators (TENGs) can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, showing a …

A type of polyurethane elastomer with excellent self-healing ability has been fabricated
through digital light processing 3D printing. First, a type of polyurethane acrylate containing …

Metal corrosion causes huge economic losses, environmental pollution and industrial
disasters. Application of smart self-healing coatings for the active corrosion protection of …

Complex battery degradation is an interplay of different processes correlated to the
