In recent years, soft pneumatic actuators have come into the spotlight because of their simple control and wide range complex motions. To monitor deformation robotic systems, elastomer-based sensors are being used. However, embedding actuator modules by polymer casting is time consuming difficult to upscale. this study, it shown how a bending with an integrated sensing element can be produced u...

Supramolecular polymeric materials constitute a unique class of materials held together by non-covalent interactions. These dynamic supramolecular interactions can provide unique properties such as a strong decrease in viscosity upon relatively mild heating, as well as self-healing ability. In this study we demonstrate the unique mechanical properties of phase-separated electrostatic supramolec...
