The influence of hydrogen on the hot tearing susceptibility of aluminium-silicon alloys
An automotive company has recently adopted procedures to control the melt hydrogen content of their cast aluminum air-intake manifolds. This arose because the hydrogen content showed a strong correlation with the incidents of hot tearing.

To address functionality limitations in plant‐based and industrially compostable polymer aerogels, this work introduces bio‐inspired aerogels with broadened functionality. Inspired by functional plant tissues, lightweight biopolymer aerogels based on exclusively stereocomplex crystals are fabricated, featuring hierarchically macro‐/meso‐porous ...

Seamless Mechanical Programming Through Hybrid Epoxy–Acrylate Printing for Soft–Rigid Robots
Hybrid epoxy‐acrylate printing enables seamless fabrication of soft–rigid robotic systems with covalently integrated interfaces and functionally graded mechanics. Grayscale exposure expands the accessible material space, enabling spatially programmed actuation through patterned stiffness while revealing the mechanics and durability of continuously ...

Strong Fully Reprocessable Engineered Wood Composites
Engineering a hyperbranched adhesive with complementary imine‐bond and hydrogen‐bond networks, combining it with wood particles to fabricate the wood composite (WP/HTP) under mild hot‐pressing conditions. The WP/HTP exhibits 100% mechanical strength recovery after three cycles of reprocessing, and the reprocessed modulus of rupture (MOR) and modulus of

Predicting Hot Tearing in Aluminium Castings
In many casting processes, some stages, such as the starting phase in the direct chill casting of aluminium alloys, are particularly critical because of the propensity of some alloys to develop either hot tears which initiate at non zero liquid fraction, or cold cracks which nucleate and grow exclusively in the solid metal.

Smart Electrospun Nanofibers for Controlled Oil‐Water Separation
Stimuli‐responsive electrospun nanofibers are reviewed as advanced platforms for controlled oil/water separation. The effects of surface wettability, porous structure, and external stimuli, including pH, temperature, gas, and light, on separation performance are discussed.
