The development of multifunctional tactile sensor remains a challenge and limit its application in flexible electronics and devices. We propose a liquid metal based tactile sensor for both temperature and force sensing which is made by 3D printing. The structural design and working principle of liquid metal based tactile sensor are firstly described. A digital light processing-based printing process is developed to print two kinds of photosensitive resins with different hardness, and used to fabricate the tactile sensor. A Wheatstone bridge circuit is designed for decoupling the temperature and forces from the measured output voltages. Characterization tests show that the tactile sensor has relatively high force sensing sensitivity of 0.29 N-1, and temperature sensing sensitivities are 0.55% °C−1 at 20 ~ 50 °C and 0.21% °C−1 at 50 ~ 80 °C, respectively. Then, the fabricated tactile sensor is mounted onto hand finger to measure the contact force and temperature during grasping. Results show that the 3D printed tactile sensor has excellent flexibility and durability and can accurately measure the temperature and contact forces, which demonstrate its potential in robotic manipulation applications.

In recent years, self-powered intelligent products have attracted much interests. Triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) can convert mechanical energy into electrical energy by contact and relative motion, thus providing the possibility of self-powering for electronic equipments. However, TENG-based self-powered technologies are limited by low power output and poor conversion efficiency. In this review, we present the development of TENG-based self-powered systems, with the emphasis on the output power of TENG and how to improve it. Based on the above applications, we propose the idea of TENG-driven self-powered remote robots, providing promising scenarios of small remote robots for land rescue or underwater detection. Due to the limited power output of the current TENGs, there are still some difficulties in driving the robot. Aiming at the problems of low power supply and poor conversion efficiency, we introduce the current attempts to improve the power generation efficiency from the perspectives of mechanical structure, electrode materials and auxiliary tools. We also outline the applications of TENGs as power supply systems in various fields such as sensing, wearable devices, and collecting Marine energy. Finally, we forecast the development prospect of TENG.

The ion-exchange capacity of the Nafion membrane was tested, and the morphology of IPMCs was observed. The electro-mechanical properties of IPMCs under AC voltage inputs were studied, and grasping experiments were performed. The results show that the Nafion membrane after hydrolysis has a good ion-exchange ability and water-holding capacity. SEM observed that the thickness of the IPMC’s electrode layer was about 400 nm, and the platinum layer was tightly combined with the substrate membrane. When using a square wave input of 3.5 V and 0.1 Hz, the maximum current of IPMCs reached 0.30 A, and the displacement and blocking force were 7.57 mm and 10.5 mN, respectively. The new fabrication process ensures the good driving performance of the printed IPMC. And two pieces of IPMCs can capture the irregular objects successfully, indicating the feasibility of printing IPMCs by FDM technology. This paper provides a new and simple method for the fabrication of three-dimensional IPMCs, which can be further applied in flexible grippers and soft robotics.

Moreover, the experimental results found that the composite still exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity and maintains a high and stable activity in the 12-hour experiment with 3 cycles.

It is challenging to monitor the damage of the structure during the vibration process. This study was aimed at using buckypaper (BP) sensors to monitor the structural health status of composite structures under ambient vibrations. First, the feasibility of flexible printed circuit instead of wire is verified by the tensile experiment. Then the vibration monitoring experiment of the composite cantilever beam is carried out by using BP sensors systematically. The sweep frequency experiment determines the excitation frequency of the cantilever beam. Low-period vibration fatigue cycle and high-period vibration fatigue cycle experiments are designed to verify the vibration monitoring method using BP sensors. Besides, the signal response of BP sensors in the vibration experiment is analyzed, and the relationship between ΔR/R0 and vibration acceleration is obtained. Finally, through the change law of ΔR/R0 of the sensor, the cumulative damage caused by vibration fatigue is visualized. It is demonstrated that the monitoring method based on BP sensors can be applied to study the damage behavior of composite structure under the vibration environment.

Due to the introduction of microelasticity theory, the phase field method for magnetic materials can be used to calculate the coupling effect of stress and magnetic field. However, the computing model usually needs to satisfy periodic boundary condition. In this paper, the phase field simulation combined with the finite element method is employed. By using user defined element, the evolution of magnetic domain structures of the double-hole nanorings has been studied. In different diameter of the holes and external magnetic field direction, we have found seven kinds of magnetic domain evolution mechanism.

However, due to this gradient term flexoelectricity, to exhibit itself, requires specially designed geometry or material composition of the dielectric material. First of its kind, the present study put forward a novel strategy of achieving electric field gradient and thereby converse flexoelectricity, independent of geometry and material composition of the material. The spatial variation of the electric field is established inside the dielectric material, Ba0.67Sr0.33TiO3 (BST), by manipulating electrical boundary conditions. Three unique patterns of electrode placement are suggested to achieve this spatial variation. This varying direction of electric field gives rise to electric field gradient, the prerequisite of converse flexoelectricity. A multi-physics coupling based theoretical framework is established to solve the flexoelectric actuation by employing isogeometric analysis (IGA). Electromechanically coupled equations of flexoelectricity are solved to obtain the electric field distribution and the resulting displacements thereby. The maximum displacements of 0.2 nm and 2.36 nm are obtained with patterns I and II, respectively, while pattern III can yield up to 85 nm of maximum displacement.
