Cracking and healing in poly(methyl methacrylate): effect of solvent
In this work, the solvent-induced structural changes of PMMA (poly(methyl methacrylate)) are studied via desorpon of methanol in 2-ethylhexyl alcohol. The desorption of methanol from PMMA specimens causes the ...

Methanol-assisted crack healing in UV-irradiated poly(methyl methacrylate)
The UV irradiation can cause structural degradation of polymer and limit the applications of polymer as structural materials. In this work, the effects of UV irradiation on the mass transport and crack healing...

Electrothermally actuated artificial muscles from the silver-polyethylene-terephthalate core–shell structure
Develo** compliant-artificial muscles for applications in soft robotics and flexible electronics is of practical importance. In this work, we construct Ag-PET (silver-polyethylene-terephthalate) twist-coiled...
