Prescribed pattern transformation in swelling gel tubes by elastic instability
Howon Lee, Jiaping Zhang, Hanqing Jiang +1
We present a study on swelling-induced circumferential buckling of tubular shaped gels. Inhomogeneous stress develops as gel swells under mechanical constraints, which gives rise t…

First Jump of Microgel: Actuation Speed Enhancement by Elastic Instability
Howon Lee, Chunguang Xia, Nicholas X. Fang
Swelling-induced snap-buckling in a 3D micro hydrogel device, inspired by the insect-trapping action of Venus flytrap, makes it possible to generate astonishingly fast actuation. W…
