Multifunctional magnetic soft composites: a review

Shuai Wu, Wenqi Hu, Qiji Ze et al. · 17 Nov 2020

Magnetically responsive soft materials are soft composites where magnetic fillers are embedded into soft polymeric matrices. These active materials have attracted extensive research and industrial interest due to their ability to realize fast and programmable shape changes through remote and untethered control under the application of magnetic fields. They would have many high-impact potential applications…

Multifunctional materials: concepts, function-structure relationships, knowledge-based design, translational materials research

Andreas Lendlein, Richard S. Trask · 28 Aug 2018

Integrating different functions in one material systemis a fundamental challenge, especially if those functions seem to exclude each other.Understanding function-structure relationships and developing a competence in the systemapproach formultifunctionality enablesmanymodern applications,which can improve quality of life and address important global challenges.The interdisciplinary field recently extends to computational engineering approaches for virtual material design and to…

Reversible shape change structures by grayscale pattern 4D printing

Jiangtao Wu, Zeang Zhao, Xiao Kuang et al. · 28 Aug 2018

Abstract Structures and devices with reversible shape change (RSC) are highly desirable in many applications such as mechanical actuators, soft robotics, and artificial muscles. In this paper, we propose to use 3D grayscale printing method to create reversible self-folding structures. The grayscale pattern was used to control the light intensity distribution of a UV projector…

Roadmap on soft robotics: multifunctionality, adaptability and growth without borders

Barbara Mazzolai, Alessio Mondini, Emanuela Del Dottore et al. · 18 Jan 2022

Abstract Soft robotics aims at creating systems with improved performance of movement and adaptability in unknown, challenging, environments and with higher level of safety during interactions with humans. This Roadmap on Soft Robotics covers selected aspects for the design of soft robots significantly linked to the area of multifunctional materials, as these are considered a…

Model of a structural battery and its potential for system level mass savings

Wilhelm Johannisson, Dan Zenkert, Göran Lindbergh · 19 Aug 2019

Structural batteries are materials that can carry mechanical load while storing electrical energy. This is achieved by combining the properties of carbon fiber composites and lithium ion batteries. There are many design parameters for a structural battery and in order to understand their impact and importance, this paper presents a model for multifunctional performance. The…

Multifunctional Materials template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Multifunctional Materials format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Multifunctional Materials template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official IOP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Multifunctional Materials use?
Multifunctional Materials uses Numbered (IOP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] Smith A, Jones B and Lee C 2023 A representative article title Multifunctional Materials 12 45–58
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Multifunctional Materials?
No. DocuGuru generates the iopjournal LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a IOP Publishing-ready Multifunctional Materials document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Multifunctional Materials template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Multifunctional Materials format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes Multifunctional Materials?
Multifunctional Materials is a physics journal published by IOP Publishing. DocuGuru's Multifunctional Materials template matches IOP Publishing's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready Multifunctional Materials PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Multifunctional Materials template (the iopjournal class) that is ready to submit to IOP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Multifunctional Materials template cost?
You can start writing in the Multifunctional Materials template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Multifunctional Materials PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
