TL;DR: This dense carbon-nanotube material is advantageous for numerous applications, and here it is demonstrated its use as flexible heaters as well as supercapacitor electrodes for compact energy-storage devices.
Abstract: Shape-engineerable and highly densely packed single-walled carbon nanotubes and their application as super-capacitor electrodes

TL;DR: Shape-memory polymers (SMPs) undergo significant macroscopic deformation upon the application of an external stimulus (e.g., heat, electricity, light, magnetism, moisture and even a change in pH value).

TL;DR: It is the goal to emphasize underutilized adaptive behaviors of stimuli-responsive polymers so that novel applications and new generations of smart materials can be realized.
1,390 citations
TL;DR: Magnetorheological (MR) materials are a kind of smart materials whose mechanical properties can be altered in a controlled fashion by an external magnetic field as discussed by the authors, and they traditionally include fluids, elastomers and foams.
Abstract: Magnetorheological (MR) materials are a kind of smart materials whose mechanical properties can be altered in a controlled fashion by an external magnetic field. They traditionally include fluids, elastomers and foams. In this review paper we revisit the most outstanding advances on the rheological performance of MR fluids. Special emphasis is paid to the understanding of their yielding, flow and viscoelastic behaviour under shearing flows.

TL;DR: In this article, a strategy for the design of bioinspired, smart, multiscale interfacial (BSMI) materials is presented and put into context with recent progress in the field of BSMI materials spanning natural to artificial to reversibly stimuli-sensitive interfaces.
Abstract: In this review a strategy for the design of bioinspired, smart, multiscale interfacial (BSMI) materials is presented and put into context with recent progress in the field of BSMI materials spanning natural to artificial to reversibly stimuli-sensitive interfaces. BSMI materials that respond to single/dual/multiple external stimuli, e.g., light, pH, electrical fields, and so on, can switch reversibly between two entirely opposite properties. This article utilizes hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity as an example to demonstrate the feasibility of the design strategy, which may also be extended to other properties, for example, conductor/insulator, p-type/n-type semiconductor, or ferromagnetism/anti-ferromagnetism, for the design of other BSMI materials in the future.
