By rotationally casting soft robots, no bonding of different material layers is required. Soft robots including one or more integrated enclosed compartments are constructed from fibers that are embedded directly into the mold prior to adding elastomeric precursors.

The present invention relates to a method for the production of plastic footwear (10; 100) of the full plastic type by means of moulding using a polyurethane mixture (M; P). The method comprises the steps of: providing a mould (20) having a mould cavity (22) defined by at least two impressions (28, 30) and designed to receive a shoe last (24) so as to define, when the mould (20) is closed, an interspace (26) having the shape and dimensions of the plastic footwear (10; 100) to be produced; spraying a polyurethane mixture (M, P) onto said at least two impressions (28, 30) of the mould cavity (22); inserting the shoe last (24) inside said mould cavity (22); closing the mould cavity (22) so that the sprayed polyurethane mixture (M, P) occupies said interspace (26); opening the mould (20), once at least the demoulding time (td) for the sprayed polyurethane mixture (M, P) has lapsed, such that the sprayed polyurethane mixture (M, P) has solidified inside the interspace (26) forming said plastic footwear (10, 100); extracting the shoe last (24) from the mould cavity (22); removing the plastic footwear (10, 100) from the shoe last (24).

The disclosure is directed at a large-area monolayer of solvent dispersed nanomaterials and method of producing same. The method of the disclosure includes dripping a nanomaterial solvent into a container filled with water whereby the nanomaterial being dripped collects at the air-water interface to produce the large-area monolayer. In one embodiment, different nanomaterial solvents can be dripped, at predetermined intervals such that the resulting large-area monolayer includes at least two different nanomaterials.

Devices and methods are provided for making a variable textured breast implant when used in conjunction with a breast implant mandrel having a molding surface and a stem depending therefrom.

A method of manufacturing a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes in order: forming a sacrificial layer in a predetermined position on a substrate; forming a base material containing resin on the substrate with the sacrificial layer therebetween; forming a display region including a plurality of pixels on the base material; irradiating the substrate with laser light from a side of the substrate on which the base material is not formed; and peeling the substrate from the base material. A region where the base material and the substrate are in contact with each other is present at least a part of an edge portion of the base material.

The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible drag reduction coatings, and in particular to a method for preparing a flexible and elastic drag reduction film. The flexible and elastic drag reduction film prepared by the present invention has excellent flexibility and elasticity. The film has a groove structure on a surface, and is suitable for curved surfaces and pipe surfaces of different diameters. The film is directly used without the need for an adhesive. It is sheathed on curved structures or devices of different diameters and curvatures by virtue of its own flexibility and elasticity, reducing an error due to the film adhesion.
