Leucaena Oil Functionalized With Osmium Tetroxide as a Precursor for Polyol‐Based Polyurethane

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Leucaena leucocephala seed oil is converted into a hydroxyl‐functional biopolyol through OsO4‐mediated dihydroxylation. The resulting biopolyol shows a hydroxyl number of 160–175 mg KOH g−1 and is successfully used to produce flexible, open‐cell polyurethane foams, highlighting a renewable route for converting underutilized biomass into value‐added ...

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Sprayable MXene Hydrogels With Composition‐Driven Interfacial Stabilization and on‐Skin Gelation for Conformal Postsurgical Photothermal Therapy

Small, EarlyView.
A sprayable MXene‐loaded thermosensitive hydrogel was developed for postoperative melanoma treatment. Molecular simulations combined with experimental analyses demonstrated that polymer composition regulates MXene oxidation. The optimized hydrogel effectively preserved photothermal performance under physiological conditions, enabling efficient near ...
