JUK-8 ([Zn(oba)(pip)]n, oba2- = 4,4 '-oxybis(benzenedicarboxylate), pip = 4-pyridyl-functionalized benzene-1,3-dicarbohydrazide) is a hydrolytically stable flexible metal-organic framework. Owing to its unusual adsorptive properties, JUK-8 can be considere ...
We report on the design and operation of a world-to-chip microfluidic interface and experimental setup for fluidic micro- and nano-electromechanical systems. The central component of the interface is an engineered polyether ether ketone connector that brin ...
For dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) to find more widespread adoption in commercial products, a better understanding of their durability is needed. By determining the different mechanisms contributing to ageing and breakdown in DEAs, new methods for i ...
Reaction of the pentamethylcyclopentadienyl rhodium iodide dimer Cp*RhI2 with 1,1'-diphenyl-3,3'-methylenediimidazolium diiodide in non-alcohol solvents, in the presence of base, led to the formation of bis-carbene complex [Cp*Rh(bis-NHC)I] I (bis-NHC ...
Liquid hot water (LHW) and high-boiling point alcohol/water (HBAW) pretreatments were compared to improve enzymatic saccharification of cellulose in moso bamboo. When pretreatments were conducted at 200 degrees C for 40 min, HBAW (20% (v/v) 1,4- butanediol ...

A non-intrusive method is presented for measuring different fluidic properties in a microfluidic chip by optically monitoring the flow of droplets. A neural network is used to extract the desired information from the images of the droplets. We demonstrate ...
