A supramolecular biomimetic skin combining a wide spectrum of mechanical properties and multiple sensory capabilities
Biomimetic skin finds wide application in robotics and smart wearable devices but materials mimicking mechanical properties of skin and responding at the same time to multiple stimuli are rarely realized. Here the authors demonstrate a biomimetic hydrogel with multiple sensory capabilities which imi...

Summary: | Biomimetic skin finds wide application in robotics and smart wearable devices but materials mimicking mechanical properties of skin and responding at the same time to multiple stimuli are rarely realized. Here the authors demonstrate a biomimetic hydrogel with multiple sensory capabilities which imitates mechanical properties of natural skin. |
