Receptogenesis in a Vascularized Robotic Embodiment

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Functional augmentation of situated robots via ex novo hardware generation extends physical adaptability. Drawing inspiration from open circulatory systems for mass and function redistribution, this study presents a vascularized robotic composite exhibiting receptogenesis ‐ the on‐demand construction of sensors ‐ from internal fluid reserves based on ...

Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
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.

Chiral Morphing of Liquid Crystal Polymer Networks

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This paper reviews how macroscopic chirality spontaneously arises from liquid crystal polymer materials. It describes how alignment is utilized to create the mechanical anisotropy, geometric misorientation and asymmetry that leads to chiral shape morphing, how shape selection between helicoids and helices arises, the techniques used to prepare these ...

Bio‐Based Polyurethanes for Sustainable and Multifunctional Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Bio‐based polyurethanes prepared from vegetable oils, lignin, and polysaccharides have attracted increasing interest as alternatives to fossil‐derived polyurethanes. This review summarizes recent progress in their chemistry, structural engineering, and advanced applications, highlighting the roles of feedstocks, chain‐segment design, dynamic covalent ...
