Current technologies capable of establishing bioresorbable orthopedic fixation devices and stents have broad utility for biomedical applications to improve constructive tissue remodeling. Recent studies and investigations on bioresorbable conductors, semiconductors, dielectrics, and polymer substrates offer a promising opportunity to propel the existing non-degradable bioelectronic devices to the promising bioresorbable electronics,...
Surface patterns that can reconfigure under external stimuli are important for tailoring diverse properties such as surface adhesion, optical transmittance, and wettability depending on the feature size and orientation. Wrinkling a stiff skin layer on a pre-strained elastomer substrate has emerged as a method to create responsive structures without using...
Self-assembly of colloidal particles at the nano- and microscale has been a powerful tool for producing structures with emergent properties in applications ranging from electro-mechanical systems to photonics and biomedical devices. Great success has been achieved in experiments, where a variety of exotic phases have been discovered and even reconfigurable...
