Liquid marble is a droplet encapsulated by a hydrophobic powder,which has wide applications in superhydrophobic materials,drug delivery and micro-fluidics.
We demonstrate the existence of solitonic structures of the full system of equations describing propa-gation of waves in a fluid of finite depth beneath an
Double network(DN)hydrogels are composed of two interpenetrating polymer networks with absorbed water,which show very large deformability,high strength and
The mechanics of the formation and propagation of ridges on compressed stiff film/compliant substrate systems is studied theoretically and experimentally.
Folded structures arise in a variety of natural objects including insect wings,leaves,and petals as well as engineering structures like Miura-Ori,pleated ro
The prospect of structures that can adopt pre-designed forms as a result of external stimuli has been a long-standing engineering and technological goal.
