Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

A high‐power hybrid nanogenerator (HP‐HNG) with multi‐degree‐of‐freedom mechanical coupling is reported, integrating multi‐directional wave energy for output to achieve 1 + 1 > 2 energy harvesting. The HP‐HNG achieves a peak output power of 0.764 W, corresponding to a peak power density of 127.303 W m−3. At a wave frequency of 1 Hz, the HP‐HNG delivers

MOF‐Derived Cu‐TiO2/Alginate Micromotors for Buoyancy‐Regulated 3D Motion
In this work, cyanobacteria‐inspired sodium alginate (SA)/Cu‐TiO2/Fe3O4 hydrogel micromotors generate and encapsulate O2 microvesicles upon light irradiation, enabling buoyancy‐mediated Z‐axis upward migration and surface enrichment at the light‐exposed water‐air surface.

Control of friction-induced torsional vibrations in drilling
The thesis deals with the control of torsional oscillations in drill strings. Self-excited torsional oscillations occur due to friction and complex coupling between the torsional,axial and lateral drill string dynamics. The focus is on the control of friction-induced torsional oscillations in the drill string. In this work the torsional oscillations

Conventional contact‐separation triboelectric nanogenerators generate high voltage but deliver limited power due to premature charge dissipation. Here, a capacitive charge reservoir architecture decouples charge accumulation from discharge triggering, enabling sequential voltage amplification via floating‐layer capacitive coupling.
