Digital Actuation Control of Soft Robotic Origami With Self‐Folding Liquid Crystal Elastomer Hinges
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Self‐folding soft‐rigid hybrid robotic origami is enabled by liquid crystal elastomer actuators with embedded Joule heating and closed‐loop digital control. Digitally addressable hinges provide reversible and programmable transitions between distinct folded states while maintaining actuation performance at high cycle counts (over 1500).

Stress response and structural transitions in sheared gyroidal and lamellar amphiphilic mesophases: lattice-Boltzmann simulations [PDF]
, 2006 We report on the stress response of gyroidal and lamellar amphiphilic mesophases to steady shear simulated using a bottom-up lattice-Boltzmann model for amphiphilic fluids and sliding periodic (Lees-Edwards) boundary conditions.

Pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids Pipe flow of shear-thinning fluids
, 2012 Lʼécoulement de fluides rhéofluidifiants en conduite cylindrique est étudié à lʼaide de simulations numériques. Le comportement rhéofluidifiant est modélisé par la loi de Carreau. Lʼécoulement est décomposé en un écoulement de base et une perturbation.

Meta‐Rod Mechanical Metamaterials With Programmable Reconfiguration
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Existing mechanical metamaterials achieve programmable large deformations in planar square or cubic configurations, restricted by required complex boundary conditions. This research proposes a 1D metamaterial, Meta‐rod, with linear, bending, twisting, area, and volume deformation modes.

Aggregation of silica nanoparticles in concentrated suspensions under turbulent, shear and extensional flows. [PDF]
, 2013 The production of nanoparticles in concentrated suspensions requires strict control of the stability of the systems which are strongly influenced by the physico-chemical properties and the hydrodynamic conditions they are placed in. This study deals with

Linear instability of a highly shear-thinning fluid in channel flow
, 2015 We study pressure-driven channel flow of a simple viscoelastic fluid whose elastic modulus and relaxation time are both power-law functions of shear-rate.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A self‐gelling PG@PAC (POD/Gel‐CDH@PA/CHX) powder is developed for infected burn care in austere settings. Upon contact with wound exudate, it instantly forms an adhesive hydrogel, providing simultaneous hemostasis, broad‐spectrum antibacterial activity, reactive oxygen species scavenging, and immunomodulation. In a murine model of S.
