Tunable surface topographies via particle-enhanced soft composites
We introduce a new class of particle-enhanced soft composites (PESC) that can generate, on demand, custom and reversible surface topographies, with surface features that can be highly localized. These features can be specifically patterned or alternatively can be random in nature. Our PESC samples …

Fabrication and mechanical characterization of liquid-in-solid elastomeric soft composites
… composite materials, liquid-in-solid elastomer soft composites are of the current research interest for their enhanced mechanical properties and high biological application potentials. Despite established microscopic models for describing elastic behaviors of the two-phase material incorporating …

Fabrication and Characterization of Multifunctional Soft Composites for Hybrid Electronic Systems
There has been an ever-increasing need for soft, functional materials within areas of research such as soft robotics, flexible electronics, and wearable devices. These materials must be stretchable and/or flexible, thermally and electrically conductive, and robustly adhesive to a wide variety of …

Tension-induced tunable corrugation in two-phase soft composites and its properties as a band gap structure
… the elastic deformation response of a two-phase soft composite under externally applied concentric tension and its properties as a band gap structure. By carefully designing the inclusion pattern, it is possible to induce corrugations normal to the direction of stretch. By stacking 1D composite …

Fracture and toughening of soft elastic composite
… by their low modulus and high stretchability, soft composites have recently attracted great interest from researchers in related areas. The main objective of the present study is on the fracture property and toughening mechanism of soft composites. Two types of soft composites will be studied: …

Bulk Ceramic-Based Biologically Inspired Composites: Design, Fabrication and Testing
… fibrous, layered, or overlapped "architected composites". These natural material systems are "architected" to delocalize damage and prevent defect coalescence, to avoid catastrophic failure, even though they are mainly composed of brittle building blocks (>90 vol% mineral content). …
