Scalable Liquid‐Phase Exfoliation of h‐BN for Solar‐Reflective and Thermally Stable Polymer Aerogels

Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.
High‐pressure homogenization exfoliates hexagonal boron nitride (h‐BN) into stable nanosheets, which are incorporated into PVA, CMC, and HEC matrices to form lightweight composite aerogels. Tuning h‐BN loading (0–50 wt%) transforms the structure from porous to densely packed, tailoring optical, thermal, and mechanical properties. An optimized PVA/20 wt%

Modeling and Characterization of a Self‐Sensing Soft Hydraulic Muscle

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents the self‐sensing soft hydraulic muscle (SSHM), a novel soft actuator capable of simultaneously sensing force and length without external sensors. A comprehensive model accurately predicts SSHM behavior, validated experimentally with minimal errors. Using propylene glycol enhances durability and reduces hysteresis.

Cavitation resistance of refractory coatings

In this study, the resistance to the cavitation effect of three types of refractory samples based on talc with the addition of 10%, 15% and 20% cordierite was investigated. Talc has a fine structure, low hygroscopicity, insensitivity to temperature changes, low coefficient of thermal conductivity, low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, great ...

The sleeping giant needs coffee: Overlooked areas for integrating plant ecophysiology and evolutionary biology

American Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
Abstract Interpretations of evolutionary outcomes are limited without incorporation of physiological ecology, and ecophysiological interpretations would benefit from incorporating evolutionary perspectives. Although there has been a rise of studies in the last 20 years between these fields, evolutionary studies that incorporate plant physiology have ...
