ABSTRACT The corrosion resistance of alpha and near‐alpha titanium alloys has resulted in their widespread application in extreme environments. Their corrosion behavior is often influenced by their microstructure, particularly intermetallic particles (IMPs), and even slight compositional variations can produce significant differences in microstructure ...

Geometry‐Encoded Programmable Mechanics in Single‐Material Dual‐Phase Metamaterials
Inspired by the unique soft‐hard heterogeneous architecture of nacre, this study proposes a novel class of dual‐phase (DP) metamaterials. The DP metamaterials exhibit programmable nonlinear mechanical responses, tailored failure processes, and enhanced energy absorption by systematically varying the spatial coding patterns of soft‐hard unit cells ...

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.
