Development of Heat Engines Powered by Twisted and Coiled Polymer Fiber Actuators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Continuously rotating engines driven by thermally responsive actuating materials can turn waste heat into useful energy. For the first time heat engines operated by twisted and coiled polymer fiber actuators are demonstrated with engine design guided by two simple analytical models.

Enhancing Organic Light‐Emitting Diode Performance Using Naturally Derived Diatomite: A Cost‐Effective and Eco‐Friendly Strategy

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Diatomite‐based light extraction structures enable enhanced photon outcoupling through multi‐angle scattering and far‐field redistribution. By harnessing the unique scattering behavior of diatomite, this approach introduces randomly oriented scattering centers that effectively reshape internal light propagation.
