Versatile Pneumatic Twisted Coiled Actuators Enabled by Fiber‐Polymer Composite Fabrication

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This work reports composite Pneumatic Twisted Coiled Actuators with embedded Kevlar fibers that convert pneumatic or hydraulic pressure into powerful linear motion. A novel precise manufacturing technique is used to systematically explore how design variables influence actuator mechanics and dynamics.

Investigation of the effect of different materials on convective heat transfer

open access: yesJournal of Mechanical Engineering and Sciences, 2020
Conventionally, the study of convection heat transfer merely focuses on the behavior of air flow without considering the conductive effect of the horizontal flat plate.

Filmwise condensation on a horizontal tube in the presence of forced convection and non-condensing gas [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
PhDAccurate and repeatable heat-transfer data have been obtained for filmwise condensation from pure vapours (steam and Refrigerant 113) and vapour-gas (steam-air, steam-hydrogen, Refrigerant 1 13-air and Refrigerant 113- hydrogen) mixtures flowing

Synergistic Solar Interfacial Evaporation and Photocatalysis Enabled by a Hierarchical Porous Hydrogel Reactor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tree‐inspired hydrogel interfacial reactor couples solar evaporation with photocatalysis for simultaneous desalination and waste water treatment. The bilayer design achieves 2.14 kg·m−2·h−1 evaporation rate with 79% dye degradation under one sun, demonstrating that photothermal heating and evaporation induced pollutant enrichment create a self ...

Advancements in Hypersaline Wastewater Treatment: The Promise of Quasi‐Liquid Surfaces to Reduce Salt Scaling

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Durable quasi‐liquid polymer brush surfaces provide an anti‐scaling strategy for hypersaline brine evaporation and zero‐liquid‐discharge desalination. The smooth, liquid‐like QLS interface suppresses substrate‐side salt nucleation, promotes compact crystallization and dewetting, reduces crystal–surface contact area, and enables low‐adhesion salt ...

Mixed convection of ferrohydrodynamics magnetized hybrid ferrofluid on a slip-permeable stretching sheet

open access: yesJournal of Taibah University for Science
Mixed convection significantly affects fluid flow and heat transfer in manufacturing and engineering. This study investigates it in a ferrohydrodynamics magnetized hybrid ferrofluid on a slip stretching sheet affected by suction and injection.

Cellular Responses to Mechanical Cues Across Scales: From Fundamental Insights to Translational Potential

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...
