Characterization and Selection of Contractile Actuators for Soft Robotics Operating in the Quasistatic Regime

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We developed methods to characterize soft contractile actuators using force–displacement measurements in the passive state and the total force in the active state and define the operational range of thermal, electrothermal, and pneumatic muscles. A graphical method enables the selection of an actuator based on the required mechanical force–displacement

Stochastic Locomotion Emerging From Body–Environment Interactions in a Mexican Jumping Bean–Inspired Robot

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the Mexican jumping bean, this study presents a centimeter‐scale, electronics‐free robot that merges principles from both the animal and plant kingdoms. A thermo‐responsive actuator mimicking larval motion, enclosed within a uniquely shaped plant‐seed‐inspired shell, generates jumping, rolling, flipping, sliding, and climbing through ...

The Jekyll and Hyde Nature of Tetrazoles in Polymer Science: From Intrinsic Electronic Duality to Programmable Macromolecular Function

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, EarlyView.
Tetrazoles are reframed as substitution‐programmable heterocycles rather than static functional groups in polymer chemistry. By linking electronic identity to synthetic strategy and polymer architecture, this mini‐review establishes a design framework for translating tetrazole duality into predictable macromolecular function.

Grid Independence Study and a Finite Difference Collocation Approach for Magnetized CeO2‐Ti3C2/H2O Hybrid Nanofluid Flow Over an Inclined Spinning Disk With Newtonian Heating

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This work examines magnetohydrodynamic (CeO2, Ti3C2/H2O) hybrid nanofluid (HNF) flow on an inclined revolving disk with effects of Newtonian heating. HNF is obtained by suspending the nanoparticles (NPs) of CeO2 and Ti3C2 in water (H2O). The flow is affected by mixed convection, Joule heating, nonlinear thermally radiative and dissipative ...

Long‐Time Thermal Aging of Perfluoroalkoxy Polymers for Electrical Insulation: Structural and Physical Properties Evolutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This work focuses on the investigation of the influence of a long‐time exposition to accelerated thermal aging on the physicochemical structure and properties of PFA. Results show a decrease in the melting temperature and crystal ratio due to chemical aging.
