Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Starting from an experimental database, a physically‐based machine learning approach is used to gain new insights into spider silk supercontraction. These insights inspire a microstructure‐based analytical model that quantitatively predicts supercontraction based on protein primary structure properties. New experiments to further elucidate the physical

Flowsheet generation through hierarchical reinforcement learning and graph neural networks
AIChE Journal, Volume 69, Issue 1, January 2023., 2023 Abstract Process synthesis experiences a disruptive transformation accelerated by artificial intelligence. We propose a reinforcement learning algorithm for chemical process design based on a state‐of‐the‐art actor‐critic logic. Our proposed algorithm represents chemical processes as graphs and uses graph convolutional neural networks to learn from ...

Design optimisation of separate-jet exhausts for the next generation of civil aero-engines [PDF]
The Aeronautical Journal, 2018 ABSTRACTThe next generation of civil large aero-engines will employ greater bypass ratios compared with contemporary architectures. This results in higher exchange rates between exhaust performance and specific fuel consumption (SFC). Concurrently, the aerodynamic design of the exhaust is expected to play a key role in the success of future turbofans ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A novel low‐bandgap random terpolymer is designed for narrow band detection in charge collection narrowing (CCN) based organic photodetectors. With a relative thin active layer (<1 µm), the CCN‐based devices achieved a narrowband response of 68 nm full‐width‐at‐half‐maximum at 916 nm, together with Responsivity values of 0.13 A W−1 and dark current of ...

Biofilm Control by Active Topography with Mucin Coating
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study reports a new antifouling strategy based on a bioinspired design. Mucin coating enhances biofilm control by active topography with beating micron‐sized pillars. Besides the mechanical force of beating pillars, the antibiofilm activities also involve biological factors since mucin coating inhibits swarming motility and c‐di‐GMP synthesis in ...
