Paper: Growing Sheets into Shells in Soft Matter
Our manuscript entitled “Morphing of geometric composites via residual swelling” has been published in the Soft Matter. This work was authored by Matteo Pezzulla, and co-authored by Steven Shillig, Paola Nardinocchi, and Douglas Holmes. This work was also highlighted on Soft Matter’s inside cover: Understanding and controlling the shape of thin, soft objects has been […]
