Material characterization Dogbone-shaped samples were 3D printed with the soft material that comprises bistable elements (Elastic 50 A, Formlabs), and uniaxial tensile tests were then performed according to ASTM D412-C specifications to measure the linear elastic and viscoelastic property, yield stress, and long-term toughness. We used a universal testing machine (Model 5942, Instron®, Illinois Tool Works …

Exploration of a wide bandgap semiconducting supramolecular Mg(II)-metallohydrogel derived from an aliphatic amine: a robust resistive switching framework for brain-inspired computing

Rheological analysis The rheological mechanical property results from angular frequency and strain-sweep measurement tests confirmed the viscoelastic nature of the Mg@TMA metallohydrogel. This is a case where the storage modulus (G′, the energy stored in the system during the application of shear to the viscoelastic zone) is much greater than the loss modulus (G′′, the …
