软设备领域的进展-即弹性体发挥关键作用的触觉、机器人和人机界面（HRHMI）类型-以聚合物材料和化学合成科学为基础。然而，在查阅文献时，发现大多数发展都是通过单独使用或作为物理共混物和复合材料的组分使用的现成材料实现的。对合成化学方法的更多认识将加速HRHMI的能力。相反，在这一领域工作的工程师所寻求的应用意识可能会激发化学家开发新的分子设计和合成方法。一些应用程序的活性，刺激响应聚合物，已被证明或显示潜在的使用HRHMI突出。这些材料都是最先进的合成技术的产物。因此，进度报告按合成材料的化学方法组织，包括受控自由基聚合、金属介导的交叉偶联聚合、开环聚合、各种交联策略和混合方法。这些方法可以提供具有多种性质的聚合物（即，导电性、刺激响应性、自我修复和可降解能力、生物相容性、可降解性和机械鲁棒性），这些都是科学家和工程师对人类交互软器械的极大兴趣。
Progress in the field of soft devices—that is, the types of haptic, robotic, and human‐machine interfaces (HRHMIs) in which elastomers play a key role—has its basis in the science of polymeric materials and chemical synthesis. However, in examining the literature, it is found that most developments have been enabled by off‐the‐shelf materials used either alone or as components of physical blends and composites. A greater awareness of the methods of synthetic chemistry will accelerate the capabilities of HRHMIs. Conversely, an awareness of the applications sought by engineers working in this area may spark the development of new molecular designs and synthetic methodologies by chemists. Several applications of active, stimuli‐responsive polymers, which have demonstrated or shown potential use in HRHMIs are highlighted. These materials share the fact that they are products of state‐of‐the‐art synthetic techniques. The progress report is thus organized by the chemistry by which the materials are synthesized, including controlled radical polymerization, metal‐mediated cross‐coupling polymerization, ring‐opening polymerization, various strategies for crosslinking, and hybrid approaches. These methods can afford polymers with multiple properties (i.e., conductivity, stimuli‐responsiveness, self‐healing, and degradable abilities, biocompatibility, adhesiveness, and mechanical robustness) that are of great interest to scientists and engineers concerned with soft devices for human interaction.
