A pH Switchable Responsive Surface for the Trapping And Release of a Hydrophobic Substance
… will stick efficiently to a hydrophobic surface (the “like dissolves like” principle). With an introduced response (i.e. pH change), a responsive surface can change from hydrophobic to hydrophilic, weakening the hydrophobic substance’s attraction and thus facilitate in an easy removal. A …

Elastomeric microsystems fabricated using transfer printing
… by transfer printing. Functional devices such as responsive surfaces and vibration energy harvesters are constructed to demonstrate the benefits of the unconventional elastomeric microsystem. Such devices outperform rigid systems regarding large deformation capability and providing additional …

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators in Electro-Responsive Surfaces Based on Tunable Wrinkling and the Robotic Arm for Powerful and Continuous Movement
… for years. Recently the DEA-based deformable surfaces have demonstrated controllable microscale roughness, ease of operation, fast response, and possibilities for programmable control. DEA muscles used in bioinspired robotic arms for large deformation and strong force also become desirable for …
