Surface Modification of Fluorine‐Free Superhydrophobic Materials with (Ultra‐)Thin TiO2 Layers
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Significant changes in wettability, with a reduction of 60o in the water conduct angle, are reported via the surface modification of fluorine‐free superhydrophobic thin films, prepared by aerosol‐assisted chemical vapor deposition, after coating a 4 nm layer of titanium dioxide on the surface using atomic layer deposition.

Programmable Reconfiguration of Hybrid 4D Chiral Metamaterials via Mechanical and Thermal Stimuli
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.A class of hybrid chiral mechanical metamaterials is designed to achieve programmable reconfiguration through soft networks, hinges, and bilayer joints integrated with rigid units. Responsive to mechanical and thermal stimuli, these structures exhibit large volume changes, tunable deformation pathways, and both positive and negative thermal expansion ...
