A hydrogel-based adhesive with a hydrophobic backing layer protects it from exposure to water and offers painless removal and easy repositioning.
A method to fabricate batteries from biodegradable materials that can operate in the environment, such as on or under soil, and are scalable in size.
A scalable heterogeneous nanoparticle film with controllable manufacturing methods with tunable properties that could be useful for a variety of applications.
A microfluidic system that uses transverse alternating-current (AC) electrophoresis for multi-parameter analysis of single biological particles including mammalian or bacterial cells.
An adhesive drug-loaded microcapsule which releases therapeutic cargo upon mechanical stretching.
A class of base metal catalysts (as opposed to expensive platinum and heavier group metals) with facile preparation methods for cyclic conjugated polymer synthesis.
A polymer brush coating on a substrate made through block copolymer coating and exfoliation for pH-mediated nanoparticle sorting, transport, and diffusion.
Dry adhesion-based shape memory polymer (SMP) gripper with high-load capacity and a high adhesion switching ratio.
A hydrogel that can naturally stretch and self-heal while adhering to the body, enabling new designs for medical adhesives.
A polymer mesogen which self-assembles into a stable cubic nanoporous liquid crystal, for use in filtration, catalysis, and ion transport.
