... of these remarkable characteristics, HMSMs are promising candidates for the remotely controlled actuators. The magnetic actuation behavior of the hard-magnetic soft actuators (HMSAs) is considerably affected by the viscoelastic material behavior of HMSMs. In this article, we aim at developing an analytical dynamic...

... behaviors of binary-solvent gels under mechanical forces, or subject to geometric constraints. The model can consistently capture some experimental findings on binary-solvent gels such as the cononsolvency effect. In particular, we employ the model to analyze a bilayer soft actuator consisting of a binary...
