3D printing of elastomeric mechanical sensors designed for human motion monitoring
In this thesis several advances are made to the emerging field of 3D printed mechanical sensors. Techniques and processes were developed to enable the integration of highly conductive, and capacitive and piezoresistive sensing features embedded within 3D p ...
EPFL2022Ultrasoft Liquid Metal Elastomer Foams with Positive and Negative Piezopermittivity for Tactile Sensing
Yegor Piskarev, Yang Li, Michael Dickey, Jianhang Yang
Soft, capacitive tactile (pressure) sensors are important for applications including human-machine interfaces, soft robots, and electronic skins. Such capacitors consist of two electrodes separated by a soft dielectric. Pressing the capacitor brings the el ...
WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH2020Tuning Interaction Parameters of Thermoplastic Polyurethanes in a Binary Solvent To Achieve Precise Control over Microphase Separation
Thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) are designed using a large variety of basic building blocks but are only synthesized in a limited number of solvent systems. Understanding the behavior of the copolymers in a selected solvent system is of particular inter ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC2019Hierarchical porous structure
Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio
Cellular thermoplastic structures with hierarchical multi-scale porosity (preferably 1-300 µm micro-porosity to 0.3-10 mm macro-porosity) are produced from an integrated approach of 3D printing, preferably by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and of supercr ...
2018LABORATORY EXPERIMENTS OF PULSED SUBAQEOUS SEDIMENT DENSITY FLOWS: INTERNAL STRATIFICATION AND LAYERING
Mário Jorge Rodrigues Pereira Da Franca, Carmelo Juez Jiménez, Mariangela Sfouni-Grigoriadou
This paper reports on an experimental study which focuses on reproducing small scale sediment density flows in a laboratory flume. The observations are aimed at improving the parametrization of the relations that govern the transition between different pha ...
2017Liquid CO2 processing of solid polylactide foam precursors
John Christopher Plummer, Yonghoon Yoon
Diffusion of CO2 in polylactide was modelled by assuming the diffusion coefficient to depend on CO2 concentration, c, according to D[c]=D[0]exp[Ac], where D[0] and A are empirical constants, with the aim of optimizing impregnation of nominally amorphous an ...
Sage Publications Ltd2016Heat expandable biopolymers for one-step production of foam core sandwich composites
The overall aim of this work has been to develop sustainable solid thermally activated foam precursors suitable for the in-line production of lightweight bio-based foam core sandwich structures with consolidated wood particle facings, using a non-inflammab ...
