Miniaturized Multifunctional Valves for Intelligent Pneumatic Systems in Soft Robotics
Miniaturized multifunctional pneumatic valves in normally closed (NC) and normally open (NO) configurations enable reconfigurable and programmable fluidic logic—including AND, OR, NAND, and NOR gates—with/without physical replumbing. These valves integrate sensing, logic, and actuation within a unified architecture, demonstrated through an electronics ...

Automated Process Optimization in a Novel Triple Shaft Mixer with Adaptive Mixing Modes
A novel multi‐purpose mixer with adjustable blade angle and a coaxial stirrer is developed, providing three degrees of freedom. An optimization strategy is integrated to autonomously identify optimal operating conditions through automated tests. The current draw of the main stirrer serves as the optimization criterion, while stirrer speeds, directions,

Review of CFD modelling techniques for single‐phase and multiphase flow in static mixers
This review synthesizes computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches for static mixers, linking hydrodynamics to pressure drop, particle/droplet distributions, mixing metrics, and heat‐transfer performance to guide modelling choices and design decisions. Abstract Static mixers enable compact and low‐energy intensification.

Abstract Process‐based functionalization of food materials has gained immense interest as they contribute to the development of clean label ingredients that can offer similar functional properties as food additives of synthetic origin. Chemical and conformational changes in proteins can induce diverse and targeted functionalities that can be useful as ...

Adhesive Protein Nanoparticles Control Emulsion Properties via Tunable Interdroplet Linking
In this study, pea protein nanoparticles were probed for their ability to link emulsion droplets. Experiments across multiple length scales showed that the nanoparticles form shear‐resistant links via bridging interactions from the thin film between droplets.
