Explores autonomously moving and assembling soft matter systems, focusing on hydrogel actuators, latch-mediated spring actuation, and self-spinning filament bundles.
Covers the basics of polymer biophysics, including DNA conformation modeling and the Boltzmann principle, emphasizing the exponential decay of correlations between segments.
Explores the classification, molecular structures, mechanical behavior, and viscoelastic properties of polymers, emphasizing temperature effects and material responses.
