Ionogel Actuators: A Review

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Ionogels dynamically and functionally couple ionic liquids with polymer networks, enabling multiscale programmable deformation and motion under electrical, magnetic, optical, thermal, humidity, and chemical stimuli. This article systematically elucidates the constituent components, structural design, and multiscale actuation mechanisms of ionogel ...

Microplastics removal techniques: challenges and opportunities of in situ field trials and a review of contemporary microplastics removal technologies

Plastic pollution is a growing environmental concern, especially when understanding how polymers interact within ecosystems. Microplastics (MPs) are difficult to analyze in nature due to variety in polymer, size (MPs are less than 0.5 cm but can include ...

Compostable and Recyclable Baroplastic Triblock Copolymers Enable Low‐Energy Polymer Processing

Small, EarlyView.
Baroplastic Poly(L‐lactide)‐block‐poly(ethylene glycol)‐block‐poly(L‐lactide) triblock copolymers enable ambient‐temperature processing under moderate pressure, reducing energy demand while preserving polymer integrity. The materials show rapid industrial compostability, effective chemical and physical recyclability, and compatibility with heat ...

Designing Participatory Systems Interventions for Behavioural Change: Integrating Soft Systems Methodology, the Theory of Planned Behavior, and Experiential Learning

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Small and medium‐sized enterprises (SMEs) operate within complex sociotechnical systems where behavioural change is shaped by interdependent cognitive, social and structural factors. This study examines a participatory systems intervention with food and beverage SMEs in a coastal tourism context in Vietnam.

Tailored Hardening and Isothermal Bainitizing of Additively Manufactured Nitrogen‐Enhanced Martensitic Chromium Steel

steel research international, EarlyView.
Tailored heat treatments transform additively manufactured high‐nitrogen martensitic Cr steel from austenitic as‐built condition to high‐hardness states. Isothermal bainitizing at 250°C generates an ultrafine nanostructure and achieves higher hardness than conventional hardening and tempering, highlighting a promising postprocessing route for laser ...
