In this research domain we apply the design rules of complex molecular systems to the construction of soft materials with interactive features. We follow an integrative approach, covering the entire chain of knowledge, for the development of polymer materials with built-in dynamics. We construct actuating materials, from coatings to microfluidic devices, and we integrate responsive materials with regulation and computational elements for application in soft robotics.
