From printing to intelligence: Smart polymer composite actuators for next-generation soft robotics

Smart polymer composite actuators are emerging as enabling materials for next-generation soft robotics by combining mechanical compliance, multifunctionality, and programmable responsiveness within lightweight architectures. Their ability to convert electrical, thermal, magnetic,...

A review of dispersing strategies for aluminum nitride suspensions in vat photopolymerization systems

Aluminum nitride (AlN) is a key ceramic material for thermal management applications due to its high thermal conductivity and electrical insulation. However, processing AlN via vat photopolymerization (VPP) remains challenging, as highly loaded suspensions must exhibit low viscos...
