Symposium Technical Description
Soft materials is an increasingly active field of research driving science and technology into new exciting directions. Large deformations coupled with various multiphysics phenomena and multiscale instabilities open an immensely rich research arena. As a result, they offer unique opportunities to design multifunctional materials and devices with novel properties, through the targeted design of material composition and microstructural layout. Moreover, soft materials represent an essential component in biological tissues, a topic of extreme interest for bio-medical applications.
This mini-symposium will address recent experimental, computational, theoretical and manufacturing advances in this direction. Topics of particular interest include:
- Electroactive and magnetoactive elastomers
- Hydrogels and soft wet materials
- Liquid crystal elastomers
- Shape-memory and light-sensitive polymers
- Ionic Polymer-Metal Composites (IPMC)
- Microstructural instabilities, fracture, and adhesion
- Soft biological materials and Bioinspired Materials
- Multiphysics phenomena in Soft Materials
- 3D/4D printing and fabrication of soft materials
