PLA Foaming Process and Its Research Progress

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 311, Issue 9, September 2026.
Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) foaming is mapped from molecular structure and gas–polymer interactions to extrusion, autoclave, injection, and 3D‐printing routes. The review reveals how crystallization, rheology, pressure history, and flow govern cellular architecture, while highlighting intelligent control, sustainable blowing agents, and multimodal ...

Hybrid Flexible–Soft Neural Interface as a Practical Solution for Long‐Term Implants

open access: yesRare Metals, Volume 45, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Implantable neural interfaces face persistent challenges in long‐term functionality due to chronic immune responses, mechanical mismatch with tissue, and material corrosion in vivo. The commonly used flexible materials, such as polyimide and parylene‐C (poly[monochloro‐p‐xylylene]), have advantages in low water vapor permeability and high ...

Biomimetic Multifinger Tactile Sensing and Contact‐Regulated Palpation for Autonomous Breast Tumor Localization

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 3939-3954, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Early detection of breast abnormalities remains challenging: manual palpation is subjective and operator‐dependent, while imaging modalities may miss small or subtle stiffness anomalies. This paper presents a biomimetic multifinger robotic palpation approach intended to support early breast‐cancer screening and follow‐up assessment as a proof ...

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4037-4060, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.
