Cellulose is a natural, biodegradable material, making it an attractive component for incorporation into nanocomposites. However, achieving uniform dispersion remains a major challenge, and chemical modification strategies can be complex and significantly increase processing costs. Here, we discuss several alternative...
This research presents an experimental investigation of a planar robotic swimmer with a passive elastic joint. Bio-inspired robotic swimmers have been widely studied as a means of understanding aquatic locomotion and developing efficient underwater robotic systems. Previous studies investigated fully...
High-performance amorphous polymers, such as Polyetherimide (PEI / Ultem 1000), are increasingly vital in demanding aerospace and structural mechanical applications. However, predicting their plastic failure under multiaxial stress states remains a critical design challenge, as classical metal-based criteria fail to...
