A Soft Robotic Fish With a Dielectric Elastomer Actuator Body and Negative Stiffness Spine
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work introduces a bio‐mimetic soft robotic fish driven by fiber‐reinforced dielectric elastomer actuators integrated as its body. By prestretching this active skin against a flexible spine, a negative stiffness system is created, enabling large‐amplitude bending.

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

Enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stalk in a hollow fiber ultrafiltration membrane reactor
, 2009 A hollow fiber ultrafiltration (UF) membrane reactor was set up to investigate the enzymatic hydrolysis of steam-exploded corn stalk. It was found that the hydrolysis rate, as well as the reducing sugar (RS) yield, could be markedly enhanced in the UF ...

Optimising the performances of hollow antiresonant fibres [PDF]
, 2011 We study the loss of novel antiresonant hollow-core fibres, demonstrate the existence of a wavelength independent optimum distance between core-surround and solid outer cladding, and provide useful guidelines for the fabrication of practical low-loss ...

A Low‐Cost, Handheld Optical Stiffness Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel handheld stiffness sensor is presented for real‐time tissue stiffness characterization. By simultaneously sensing contact force and tissue deformation, the device enables accurate stiffness quantification without requiring precise manual control. This approach offers a promising solution for intraoperative tumor detection and minimally invasive

Recovery of Lignosulfonates from Spent Sulfite Liquor Using Ceramic Hollow-Fiber Membranes
Membranes, 2019 Spent sulfite liquor is an abundant but currently less used wastewater stream from the pulp and paper industry. The recovery of lignin from this resource would provide an inexpensive raw material for the manufacture of fuels and fine chemicals.
