Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are promising materials that can be used as artificial muscles in soft robotics. These materials can be 3D printed to obtain curved shapes, which can […]
Solvent Migration in Charged Membranes Research Highlighted in Nature Computational Science
Nature Computational Science has featured the latest research from our Ph.D. student Alain Boldini and Prof. Maurizio Porfiri on the inversion of solvent migration in charged membranes. This research, which […]
Inversion of Solvent Migration in Charged Membranes
When a change in concentration is generated, solvent molecules migrate to mitigate this difference in concentration, due to osmosis. In their new paper, published in a renown journal Physical Review […]
