Bio-Inspired Design: Aerodynamics of Boxfish

Procedia Engineering, 2015
AbstractThis paper investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a boxfish using both experimental and computational methods. A scaled up model boxfish was manufactured and tested in RMIT Industrial Wind Tunnel under a range of Reynolds numbers and yaw angles. The drag, lift and side forces and their corresponding moments were measured simultaneously. A CAD

SI‐bioATRP in Mesoporous Silica for Size‐Exclusion Driven Local Polymer Placement

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An enzyme‐catalyzed surface‐initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI‐bioATRP) of an anionic monomer within mesoporous silica particles, using hemoglobin as a catalyst, allows for controlling the location of the formed polymer via size‐exclusion effects between the nanopores and the biomacromolecules, thereby opening routes to functional ...
