  • The properties of articular cartilage, which lines bones in joints, depend partly on repulsion between components of the material. A new synthetic gel that mimics this feature has rare, direction-dependent properties. See Letter p.68

  • Several strategies have been explored for overcoming limitations on the ultimate extensibility and softness of silicone elastomers but they either increase process complexity or lead to mechanical instabilities in the resulting elastomers. Here the authors report an easy curing reaction which allows versatile tailoring of elastomer properties exceeding their intrinsic limitations

  • Monolithic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thin film layers were prepared by adhering two partly cured films together at different curing times. For dielectric electroactive polymer (DEAP) uses the lamination performed slightly above the gelation threshold, namely at the time where the monolayer films had gained 30% of the final mechanical strength, was extremely favorable. The lamination process for DEAP bilayers can actually be used as a process to improve the overall performance of the DEAP, and hence enable the large-scale production of DEAP transducers.

  • Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) films were doped with 1% perfluoroether to lower the surface energy. Although the surface energy was lowered, the peel force did not decrease. It was found that peel force was linearly related to adhesive energy of films, and adhesive energy was inversely related to Young’s modulus. Films with low Young’s moduli evened out against surfaces easily and made good contact, which increased the adhesive forces, making the release hard. Comparatively, films with higher Young’s moduli had low peel force.
