System Identification of Robotic Fish Swimming Reveals Roles of Reactive and Resistive Fluid Force in Two Distinct Swimming Gaits

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
System identification and particle image velocimetry reveal how a modular robotic fish changes thrust physics across gaits. A traveling‐wave, fish‐like motion draws thrust from resistive drag, while a resonant standing‐wave motion is driven by reactive pressure.

Separation of Polyamide 66 From Blends With Wool Through Selective Dissolution: Implications of the Presence of Dyes

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
The study assesses dye impacts on PA66/wool recycling via selective PA66 dissolution in calcium chloride–ethanol–water and water reprecipitation. Acid dyes migrate into solvent, yielding color‐free, melt‐spinnable PA66 and reusable wool. Metal‐complex dyes remain, altering PA66 melt viscosity and requiring extraction or repurposing.
