Adaptive soft materials exhibit a diverse set of behaviors including reconfiguration, actuation, and locomotion. These responses however, are typically optimized in isolation. Here, the interrelation between these behaviors is established through a state space framework, using Nylon 6 thin films in a humidity gradient as an experimental testbed. It is determined that the dynamic behaviors are a result...
In article number 1705616, Richard A. Vaia and co‐workers use a common polymer, Nylon 6, to map out a behavioral state space for stimuli‐interactive polymers that includes four distinct modes of locomotion. These materials simultaneously harvest energy and information from the environment and are shown to be amenable to composite design, which paves the way for incorporation of stimuli interactive...
