Density and viscosity measurements are performed for ethanol, water, hexamethyldisiloxane (MM), octamethyltrisiloxane (MDM), decamethyltetrasiloxane (MD2M), and their mixtures (ethanol/water, MM/MDM, MM/MD2M, MDM/MD2M) at 100 kPa at different temperatures (293–423 K) and mixture compositions. To measure the density and viscosity, an IMETER measuring system with a combined dynamic and static force measurement method, a density meter with an oscillating U-tube measuring method, and a rheometer with a double-gap measuring system were used. The experimentally determined data for the pure substances show a very good agreement with literature data. However, there is a strong deviation of the mixture viscosity between max 7% for MM/MDM and 31% for MM/MD2M compared to Refprop v.10.0. In order to enable an improvement in the calculation of the density and viscosity for the mixtures, specific parameters for the Jouyban–Acree model are developed for all mixtures and thereby, a better description of the density and viscosity for the mixtures could be achieved.

Lookup of thermodynamic properties of substances is a common task in numerous engineering disciplines and is also an important skill taught to students in several common engineering disciplines. While properties were traditionally found using tables of thermodynamic data, availability of modern software has essentially eliminated the need for laborious use of tables, and has created opportunities to support quick iteration and revision of calculations. As thermodynamic data are published in a variety of formats, it is necessary for software to provide a standardized interface to operate on a number of different data source formats. Additionally, thermodynamic software needs to be numerically efficient and robust, to deal with the diverse computational methodologies required to produce property calculations. PYroMat seeks to create a tool that meets these needs and can grow with users at different levels of expertise. It offers a low barrier to entry and is easy enough for students to use, but also powerful and flexible enough to serve the needs of engineering professionals and scientific researchers.

Soft pneumatic actuation is widely used in wearable devices, soft robots, artificial muscles, and surgery machines. However, generating high‐pressure gases in a soft, controllable, and portable way remains a substantial challenge. Here, a class of programmable chemical reactions that can be used to controllably generate gases with a maximum pressure output of nearly 6 MPa is reported. It is proposed to realize the programmability of the chemical reaction process using thermoelectric material with programmable electric current and employing preprogrammed reversible chemical reactants. The programmable chemical reactions as soft pneumatic actuation can be operated independently as miniature gas sources (∼20–100 g) or combined with arbitrary physical structures to make self‐contained machines, capable of generating unprecedented pressures of nearly 6 MPa or forces of about 18 kN in a controllable, portable, and silent manner. Striking demonstrations of breaking a brick, a marble, and concrete blocks, raising a sightseeing car, and successful applications in artificial muscles and soft assistive wearables illustrate tremendous application prospects of soft pneumatic actuation via programmable chemical reactions. The study establishes a new paradigm toward ultrastrong soft pneumatic actuation.
