Vine Tendril‐Inspired Cold‐Programmable Shape‐Memory Polymer Composites Using Sugar Beet Pulp
Vine tendrils inspire a bio‐derived, cold‐programmable shape‐memory polymer composite (SMPC). Magnetically guided sugar beet pulp creates mesoscale heterogeneity within a glassy matrix, producing built‐in mechanical asymmetry for rapid, solvent‐free programming by simple stretching.

Alloy Qualification for Producing Quench and Tempered Plate Steels with Extra‐Heavy Gage
This study develops alloy concepts for ultraheavy steel plates (>100 mm) with ≥690 MPa yield strength. Through dilatometry and Jominy testing, the effects of Mo, Ni, and B on hardenability are quantified. A synergy between 0.5% Mo and 0.5%–1.0% Ni ensures core strength at low cooling rates, while boron microalloying suppresses ferrite and promotes ...

Phase Transformation Behavior of Continuously Cooled Fe–C–V–(Mo) Alloys
Additions of vanadium and molybdenum microalloying are shown to reshape phase transformations in clean low‐carbon steels. By tracking microstructural shifts during continuous cooling, the work uncovers the correlation between transformation kinetics, ferrite morphology, and hardness.
