Double-network (DN) hydrogels, with their unique combination of mechanical strength and toughness, have emerged as promising materials for soft robotics and tissue engineering. In the past decade, ...

This paper presents the fundamental concept of wave propagation in periodic multilayer films consisting of two different materials, so-called one-dimensional electromagnetic bandgap (EBG) materials.

In these compounds, low-dimensional 1D and 2D inorganic subunits are assembled into higher 2D or 3D covalent frameworks by organic ligands. In addition to the structure-directing effect of organic ...
