Hot Melt Extrusion Technology in Taste Masking

AAPS PharmSciTech
Abstract Hot melt extrusion (HME) is a widely used method of taste masking in medication formulations, notably for bitter Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs). This continuous, solvent-free technique successfully wraps APIs within a polymer matrix, forming a barrier that considerably decreases bitterness perception.

High Center‐of‐Mass, Multi‐Legged Soft Robots Powered by Geometrically Encoded Liquid Crystal Elastomer Arc Appendages

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by the octopus and the golden wheel spider, soft robots with liquid crystal elastomer arc fibers as appendages are fabricated to transcend surface constraints through an elevated center of mass and minimal contact footprints. By leveraging curvature‐encoded deformation‐recovery cycles, these robots exhibit contractile, torsional, and flexural ...

Two‐Way Shape Memory Polymer Composite Gripper for Adaptive Robotic Applications

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A two‐way shape memory polymer (SMP) composite is developed with intrinsic shape‐changing capability driven solely by temperature, eliminating external actuation loads. Embedding the SMP in a low‐stiffness elastomeric matrix enabled reversible transformations during heating and cooling cycles.
