Mechanical Reinforcement of Hydrogels through Physical Crosslinks and Double Network Granular Architecture

Alvaro Lino Boris Charlet

Throughout nature, organisms fabricate a myriad of materials to sustain their lifestyle. Many of the soft materials are composed of water-swollen networks of organic molecules, so-called hydrogels. They generally contribute to the mechanical integrity of t ...

Increased electromechanical sensitivity of polysiloxane elastomers by chemical modification with thioacetic groups

Yee Song Ko

Chemically cross-linked polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) elastomers have gained importance as a dielectric in elastic capacitor actuators, which elongate when electrically charged. Common PDMS elastomers have a dielectric permittivity of only about 3 and thus e ...

Flexible support and enhanced groove geometries for gas lubricated bearings

Philipp Kaspar Bättig

Gas lubricated Herringbone-Grooved Journal Bearings (HGJB) are a promising solution to support high-speed rotors in oil-free turbo-machinery due to their compactness, relatively low losses, no need for lubrication and low wear. Gas lubricated bearings, how ...

Feasibility of accelerated curing for strengthening of steel members by prestressed bonded CFRP plates

Ardalan Hosseini, Elyas Ghafoori

Bond behavior and anchorage resistance of prestressed CFRP plates to steel substrate have been investigated in the current study. To do so, a set of single lap-shear and prestress release tests was performed on CFRP-to-steel bonded joints, and the feasibil ...

Soft flexion sensors integrating strechable metal conductors on a silicone substrate for smart glove applications

Stéphanie Lacour, Hadrien Olivier Michaud, Joan Teixidor

We design and implement a sensory skin that monitors in real time finger flexure (three sensors per finger) of a user's hand. Compared to current technologies, the electronic skin is made entirely of stretchable materials integrating silicone rubber, low r ...
