Improving the design of temperature-responsive materials used in drug delivery, sensors, and soft robotics

Image title: Probing polymer gel networks with rheo-impedance Image caption: Schematic of the custom rheo-impedance device, which simultaneously applies shear stress and measures the gel's changing electrical properties. This device can dynamically and non-invasively reveal how the gel's internal structure and conductivity evolve under real-world conditions, providing crucial data for designing better smart materials.
