An Electrowetting Pump

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A tubular electrowetting pump moves alternating droplets through a millimeter‐wide channel in discrete, reversible steps, functioning as a fluidic stepper motor. With no moving parts and electrodes insulated from the liquid, it delivers silent, accurate flow. Flexibility allows the pump to be woven directly into textiles for wearable, medical, and soft‐

S‐Nitrosothiols as Thiol‐Protecting Groups for Controlled Thiol‐Maleimide Crosslinking of Homogeneous Soft Hydrogels

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Rapid thiol‐maleimide addition frequently outpaces mixing, resulting in heterogeneous hydrogels. S‐nitrosothiols act as thiol‐protecting groups, allowing uniform mixing with maleimide‐functionalized polymers before gelation. Sodium thiosulfate or sodium ascorbate then regenerates thiols on demand, triggering controlled thiol‐maleimide crosslinking ...

Propeller-Induced Jet Impact on Vegetated Flow Fields: Complex Coupled Effect towards the Velocity Profile

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The failure of swirling ship propellers in marine environments can lead to huge repair costs. One of the main causes of such failure is when propellers tangle with vegetation, especially in shallow flow environments like ports, harbours, or shipyards. In

Air bubble interaction with a submerged, axisymmetric water jet. [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1991
Individual air bubbles were released from a vertical, blunt-tipped, 20-gauge hypodermic needle. They rose and collided with an axisymmetric, horizontal water jet submerged in a water-filled tank. Acoustic emissions resulting from bubble–jet interaction were studied. High-speed video analysis was also employed to visually determine bubble behavior (e.g.,
