Liquid crystalline elastomers (LCEs) have demonstrated tremendous potential in applications such as soft robotics, biomedical materials, electronics, sensors, and biomimetic systems. The physical properties of LCEs are controlled by the degree of crosslinking, nature of the mesogens, and mesogen orientation in the LCE network structure. A wide range of dynamic covalent bonds (DCBs) capable of dynamic bond exchange reactions (DBERs) have been introduced into LCE structures to obtain intelligent materials in recent decades. In this review article, we discuss the molecular constitution, macrostructure, morphing mechanism, recent advances in LCEs with dynamic covalent bonds, the influence of DCBs on self-healing, reprogramming and reprocessing properties of LCE actuators, and challenges and opportunities in incorporating dynamic chemistry in the field of LCE actuators.

The Gibson-Ashby (G-A) model has been instrumental in the design of additively manufactured (AM-ed) metal lattice materials or mechanical metamaterials. The first part of this work reviews the proposition and formulation of the G-A model and emphasizes that the G-A model is only applicable to low-density lattice materials with strut length-to-diameter ratios greater than 5. The second part evaluates the applicability of the G-A model to AM-ed metal lattice materials and reveals the fundamental disconnections between them. The third part assesses the deformation mechanisms of AM-ed metal lattices in relation to their strut length-to-diameter ratios and identifies that AM-ed metal lattices deform by concurrent bending, stretching, and shear, rather than just stretching or bending considered by the G-A model. Consequently, mechanical property models coupling stretching, bending and shear deformation mechanisms are developed for various lattice materials, which show high congruence with experimental data. The last part discusses new insights obtained from these remedies into the design of strong and stiff metal lattices. In particular, we recommend that the use of inclined struts be avoided.

High-entropy materials provide a versatile platform for the rational design of novel candidates with exotic performances. Recently, it has been demonstrated that high-entropy ceramics (HECs), depending on their compositions, show great application potential because of their superior structural and functional properties. However, the immense phase space behind HECs significantly hinders the efficient design and exploitation of high-performance HECs through traditional trial-and-error experiments and expensive ab-initio calculations. Machine learning (ML), on the other hand, has become a popular approach to accelerate the discovery of HECs and screen HECs with exceptional properties. In this article, we review the recent progress of ML applications in discovering and designing novel HECs, including carbides, nitrides, borides, and oxides. We thoroughly discuss different ingredients that are involved in ML applications in HECs, including data collection, feature engineering, model refinement, and prediction performance improvement. We finally provide an outlook on the challenges and development directions of future ML models for HEC predictions.

The superplastic behavior of medical magnesium alloys is reviewed in this overview article. Firstly, the basics of superplasticity and superplastic forming via grain boundary sliding (GBS) as the main deformation mechanism are discussed. Subsequently, the biomedical Mg alloys and their properties are tabulated. Afterwards, the superplasticity of biocompatible Mg-Al, Mg-Zn, Mg-Li, and Mg-RE (rare earth) alloys is critically discussed, where the influence of grain size, hot deformation temperature, and strain rate on the tensile ductility (elongation to failure) is assessed. Moreover, the thermomechanical processing routes (e.g. by dynamic recrystallization (DRX)) and severe plastic deformation (SPD) methods for grain refinement and superplasticity in each alloying system are introduced. The importance of thermal stability (thermostability) of the microstructure against the grain coarsening (grain growth) is emphasized, where the addition of alloying elements for the formation of thermally stable pinning particles and segregation of solutes at grain boundaries are found to be major controlling factors. It is revealed that superplasticity at very high temperatures can be achieved in the presence of stable rare-earth intermetallics. On the other hand, the high-strain-rate superplasticity and low-temperature superplasticity in Mg alloys with great potential for industrial applications are summarized. In this regard, it is shown that the ultrafine-grained (UFG) duplex Mg-Li alloys might show remarkable superplasticity at low temperatures. Finally, the future prospects and distinct research suggestions are summarized. Accordingly, this paper presents the opportunities that superplastic Mg alloys can offer for the biomedical industries.

The exquisite structure–function correlations observed for native protein filaments have prompted research into the design of simpler peptide-based analogues that can be tailored for specific applications as synthetic filamentous nanomaterials. Sequence-structure correlations that have been established from analysis of native proteins have been previously adapted to create a supramolecular folding code based on simple design principles. While successful, the supramolecular folding code has not been critically examined in terms of the relationship between the proposed models and experimentally determined structures. Recent cryo-EM analyses of peptide-based filaments at near-atomic resolution offers the opportunity to compare the predictions of the supramolecular folding code to the resultant atomic models. The results provide insight into the limitations of the folding code and suggest an approach to refine the design of peptide-based filaments.

The most promising solid electrolytes for all-solid-state Li batteries are oxide and sulfide ceramics. Current ceramic solid electrolytes are brittle and lack the toughness to withstand the mechanical stresses of repeated charge and discharge cycles. Solid electrolytes are susceptible to crack propagation due to dendrite growth from Li metal anodes and to debonding processes at the cathode/electrolyte interface due to cyclic variations in the cathode lattice parameters. In this perspective, we argue that solutions to the mechanics challenges of all-solid-state batteries can be borrowed from the aerospace industry, which successfully overcame similar hurdles in the development of thermal barrier coatings of superalloy turbine blades. Their solution was to exploit ferroelastic and transformation toughening mechanisms to develop ceramics that can withstand cyclic stresses due to large variations in temperature. This perspective describes fundamental materials design principles with which to search for solid electrolytes that are ferroelastically toughened.

Here we review recent studies of mechanical metamaterials originating from or closely related to marginally jammed solids. Unlike previous approaches mainly focusing on the design of building blocks to form periodic metamaterials, the design and realization of such metamaterials exploit two special aspects of jammed solids, disorder and isostaticity. Due to the disorder, every single bond of jammed solids is unique. Such a bond uniqueness facilitates the flexible adjustment of the global and local elastic responses of unstressed spring networks derived from jammed solids, leading to auxetic materials with negative Poisson’s ratio and bionic metamaterials to realize allostery and flow controls. The disorder also causes plastic instabilities of jammed solids under load. The jammed networks are thus inherently metamaterials exhibiting multi-functions such as auxeticity, negative compressibility, and energy absorption. Taking advantage of isostaticity, topological mechanical metamaterials analogous to electronic materials such as topological insulators have also been realized, while jammed networks inherently occupy such topological features. The presence of disorder greatly challenges our understanding of jammed solids, but it also provides us with more freedoms and opportunities to design mechanical metamaterials.

Heterostructured materials comprised of relatively soft/hard disparate phases typically exhibit composite strengthening but lack plastic deformability at ambient temperatures. However, heterostructured systems comprised of nanoscale phases can simultaneously enhance yield strength and strain hardening, thereby promoting uniform distribution of plastic flow. In this review, the atomic-scale deformation mechanisms in model systems of eutectic alloys, Al-Al2Cu and Al-Si, refined to nanoscales via laser rapid solidification are discussed, and compared with literature on multi-component (high entropy) eutectics such as Ni-Al-Fe-based with Cr and/or Co additions. The nano-lamellar Al-Al2Cu structures exhibit unit defect mechanisms not reported in monolithic Al2Cu intermetallic: localized shear on {0 1 1} and shear-induced faults on {1 2 1} planes, constrained by closely-spaced dislocation arrays in Al confined by Al/Al2Cu interfaces. The unexpected plasticity mechanisms are enabled by slip continuity in nanoscale Al-Al2Cu eutectics associated with the orientation relationship and interface habit planes. In nano-fibrous Al-Si eutectic, tensile ductility at strength approaching 600 MPa is observed resulting from dislocation plasticity in the nano-Al channels and cracking in Si nanofibers. Molecular dynamics simulations show that Al dislocations easily cross-slip (screw) or climb (edge) along Al-Si interfaces, making slip transmission difficult. The propagation of nano-cracks is suppressed by surrounding strain hardening Al, retaining good ductility of the sample, in spite of lack of direct slip transmission. The critical unit mechanisms of slip transmission and interface-enabled plasticity observed in nanoscale eutectic binary systems can also explain the strength-ductility relationship in multi-component eutectics and homogeneously distributed plastic flow with increasing microstructural heterogeneity.
由相对软/硬不同相组成的异质结构材料通常表现出复合强化,但在环境温度下缺乏塑性变形能力。然而,由纳米级相组成的异质结构体系可以同时提高屈服强度和应变硬化,从而促进塑性流动的均匀分布。本文讨论了通过激光快速凝固将Al-Al2Cu和Al-Si共晶合金模型系统细化到纳米级的原子尺度变形机制,并与多组分(高熵)共晶(如添加Cr和/或Co的ni - al - fe基共晶)的文献进行了比较。纳米层状Al-Al2Cu结构表现出在单片Al2Cu金属间化合物中没有的单元缺陷机制:在{0 11}面上的局部剪切和{1 21}面上的剪切诱导缺陷,受到Al/Al2Cu界面限制的Al中紧密间隔的位错阵列的约束。纳米尺度Al-Al2Cu共晶的滑移连续性与取向关系和界面习惯面有关,从而实现了意想不到的塑性机制。在Al-Si纳米纤维共晶中,由于纳米al通道中的位错塑性和Si纳米纤维中的裂纹,在接近600 MPa的强度下观察到拉伸延展性。分子动力学模拟表明,Al位错容易沿Al- si界面交叉滑移(螺旋)或爬升(边缘),使得滑移难以传递。纳米裂纹的扩展受到周围应变硬化Al的抑制,尽管缺乏直接滑移传递,但仍保持了样品的良好延展性。在纳米级共晶二元体系中观察到的滑移传递和界面激活塑性的关键单元机制也可以解释多组分共晶的强度-塑性关系以及随着微观组织非均质性的增加而均匀分布的塑性流动。

Recent advancements in electronics have renewed the interest in high strain rate nanoindentation testing, resulting in the development of new high strain rate nanoindentation test equipment and test methodologies. In this work, the current state-of-the-art in high strain rate nanoindentation testing is critically reviewed, with focus on three key aspects - the testing equipment's dynamic mechanical and electronic response, test methodology, and post-processing of raw data to obtain hardness and strain rate. The challenges in instrument hardware design and post-test data analysis are discussed, along with optimal strain rate window for accurate high strain rate measurements. Specific focus will be on instrumented high strain rate testing using self-similar indenters at strain rates in excess of 100 s−1, wherein load and depth of penetration into the sample are both measured or applied.

2D materials are enabling disruptive advancements in electronic and photonic devices yielding to the development of sensing and wearable materials and in the field of energy production and storage as key components of photovoltaic technology and batteries. Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to TMDs and oxides that contain vanadium, as it is the case of vanadium disulfide (VS2) and vanadium dioxide (VO2). In this study we review the synthesis and characterization using Raman spectroscopy of VS2 and its oxidized states. Laser-induced oxidation occurring during the Raman experiments in ambient conditions is described and plateau values of laser power levels to induce oxidation are provided. Furthermore, tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) spectra and maps are conducted to reveal at the single flake level the onset of oxidation mechanisms at the surface of the 2D platelets.

Nevertheless, little attention has been paid to TMDs and oxides that contain vanadium, as it is the case of vanadium disulfide (VS<sub>2</sub>) and vanadium dioxide (VO<sub>2</sub>). In this study we review the synthesis and characterization using Raman spectroscopy of VS<sub>2</sub> and its oxidized states.
