Physicochemical Reinforcement Unlocks Sterilization‐Stable Anisotropic Hydrogels for Cell‐Compatible Mock Arteries

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In vitro arterial models offer ethical and robust alternatives for vascular research but require cytocompatible materials that replicate physiological mechanics. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels produced by directional freezing and salting‐out (PVA DFSO) are anisotropic yet lack stability for cell culture. Herein, methacrylated PVA (PVA‐MA)

Research on Solving the Structural Instability of Composite Propellants by Using Non-Ablative Cladding Layers

Aerospace
In a high-temperature test of the gas generator with a free-loading composite propellant, an abnormal jitter appeared in the latter part of the internal ballistic curve, whereas no such abnormality was observed in the low-temperature and normal ...

Unveiling the Role of Curvature in Carbon for Improved Energy Release of Ammonium Perchlorate

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
High‐curvature carbon materials identified via machine learning and simulation can enhance the heat release and combustion performance of ammonium perchlorate. ABSTRACT The catalytic role of carbon curvature in the thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate (AP) remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, this study employs machine learning and

Mechanical properties of HTPB composite propellants in the initial period of service life [PDF]

Scientific Technical Review, 2014
Uniaxial tensile tests of different composite solid rocket propellant compositions, based on hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB), have shown that mechanical properties extensively change after curing, up to 100% of their initial values, during the ...

Modeling and rheology of HTPB based composite solid propellants

Polymer Composites, 1998
AbstractThe propellant with the minimum viscosity required for a defect‐free casting can be obtained by proper selection of the size and fractions of solid components leading to maximum packing density. Furnas' model was used to predict the particulate composition for the maximum packing density.

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
