Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Study on the Characteristics of CO2 Displacing Non-Newtonian Fluids
LubricantsCO2 displacement is a key technique that was examined through numerical methods in a 3D Hele–Shaw cell, with CO2 as the displacing phase and shear-thinning fluids as the displaced phase.

Preferential Interfacial Engineering of Hydrogels via Interdigitated Nanoparticle Assembly
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Robust surface functionalization of hydrogel surfaces is performed via interdigitated metal nanoparticle assembly, inducing strong affinity with the hydrogel matrix. The partially exposed nanoparticle domains act as interfacial nanobridges that mediate both chemical and physical bonding with diverse materials, including small molecules, fluorous ...

2D Skeletal Muscle Thin Film Actuators Enhance Efficiency of Biohybrid Robots
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.2D skeletal muscle thin film actuators generate millinewton‐scale forces and millimeter‐scale strokes while remaining functional for over 30 days. Their force density is 20‐fold higher than 3D skeletal muscle actuators, enabling multi‐fin robots with tunable speed and multidirectional steering.

Role of B2O3 on structure and shear-thinning property in CaO–SiO2–Na2O-based mold fluxes
High Temperature Materials and Processes, 2019 Most traditional mold fluxes are Newtonian fluids, and their constant viscosity has certain limitations in continuous casting. A new non-Newtonian fluid mold flux with shear-thinning behavior, i.e., a mold flux with a relatively high viscosity at lower ...
