Researchers demonstrate a novel method measuring elastomer crosslinking in soft robots, suggesting improved manufacturing quality.
Soft Robotic Elastomer Crosslinking This cover depicts a highly sensitive and cost-effective magnetic levitation (Maglev)-based physical sensing method for reliable, real-time monitoring of elastomer crosslinking, crucial for deep-sea soft robots' performance and manufacturing quality. This method is the first demonstration of high-precision polymer curing monitoring based on physical property sensing rather than chemical analysis, representing a novel in situ quantification strategy. More details can be found in the Research Article by Chengqian Zhang, Peng Zhao, and co-workers (10.1002/admt.202501531).
