While two dimensional materials are extremely stiff in-plane they have very low bending rigidity and also can adhere well to soft materials such as gels and polymers. Inspired by exo and endoskeletons in biological organisms, this talk will discuss design, modelling and integration of low dimensional materials such as ultrathin silicon oxides, graphene and molybdenum disulfide with hydrogels, polymers and live cells to enable ultrathin shape change and self-folding devices, biosensors and biomimetic tissues. 

Soft 3D Smart Devices with Hard 2D Materials

The Virtual Technical Meeting of the Society of Engineering Science 2020 is the first fully virtual meeting of the SES community to envision and connect during the hiatus created by Covid-19, providing a platform for the exchange of ideas, and to showcase the latest research in the field of engineering science.
