Double Helix Structure for Stable Flexural Actuation in Soft Robotics

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a double‐helical architecture for soft robotic actuators that enhances twisting resistance, increases output force, and minimizes undesired deformation. Actuators driven by shape‐memory alloy wires exhibit a roughly fivefold higher torsional/flexural stiffness ratio and 50% greater force output.

Thermally Drawn Bioelectric Catheters: Enabling Proprioceptive Endovascular Navigation

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This work introduces a novel bioelectric navigation system eliminates the need for harmful fluoroscopy during endovascular surgeries. A bespoke 16‐electrode catheter is fabricated using rapid thermal drawing and laser micro‐machining. Paired with a real‐time tracking algorithm fusing vascular geometry detection and distance estimation, this technology ...

Accelerating Sustainable Epoxy Resin Development Through Bayesian Optimization and Inverse Design

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Development of a machine learning framework for the optimization of the Tg of partially bio‐based epoxy resin formulations in a 13‐component design space using Bayesian optimization, active learning, random design, and inverse design. The results show that the BO effectively navigates high‐dimensional formulation spaces, and the final ML model could ...

Influence of Annealing Temperature on the Thermomechanical Properties and Dimensional Stability of FFF‐Printed PET‐CF

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Following extrusion at 265°C, components underwent a 45‐min annealing process at temperatures from 145°C to 225°C. The results show that increasing the annealing temperature elevates the onset of thermal softening, significantly enhancing thermal reliability.

Inverse Vulcanized Sulfur Polymer Composites From Poultry‐Industry Products and Lignocellulosic Biomass Waste

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
This work explores the use of various fillers, including eggshell powder, feather meal, peanut hulls, and sawdust to reinforce a base binder GFS90 (comprised of 90 wt.% sulfur, 5 wt.% chicken fat, and 5 wt.% sunflower oil). The resulting composites showed impressive compressive strengths ranging from 15.3 to 36.2 MPa, making them a potential ...

Material Characterization of Lignin‐Filled Polypropylene Composites

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Ground and spray‐dried lignin powders are compared as fillers for polypropylene composites. Differences in powder preparation methods are associated with differences in powder characteristics and composite behavior after melt compounding. Spray‐dried lignin produces smaller particles and fewer large agglomerates, while a 5 wt% lignin loading provides a
