Dielectric properties of 3-3 flexible composites by infiltration of elastomers into porous ceramic structures using cellulose scaffold

Thomas Geiger

Elastomer composites are prepared by infiltrating polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) into a porous ceramic structure of nanoparticles. This method differs from the conventional approach, where particles are dispersed into the polymer matrix, since here, the polym ...

Highly Stretchable Silicone Elastomer Applied in Soft Actuators

Fabio Beco Albuquerque, Pengpeng Hu

In this work, a highly stretchable silicone elastomer is incorporated into dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) in order to decrease operation voltages by applying high prestretches. Results show that the fabricated DEAs (5 mm diameter circle active regio ...

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 ...

Optimization of a Py-GC/MS method for silicone -based lubricants analysis

Christophe Roussel, Céline Burnier

Condom evidence can be analysed using several analytical techniques, such as FTIR, MALDI-MS or DART-TOF-MS, but the only one that was used on real samples for transfer and persistence studies in the context of sexual assault or rape cases was Py-GC/MS. How ...

Wavelength-Multiplexed Single-Shot Ptychography

Yves Bellouard

We present multi-wavelength single-shot ptychography, a technique which is ideally suited for imaging dynamically evolving plasmas. Through improvements to single-shot ptychography and a novel probe constraint, wavelength-multiplexed single-shot ptychograp ...

Additive micro-manufacturing of crack-free PDCs by two-photon polymerization of a single, low-shrinkage preceramic resin

Jürgen Brugger, Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Helena Van Swygenhoven, Eirini Kakkava, Lorenz Hagelüken, Georgia Konstantinou, Nikolaos Nianias, Jieping Wang

Additive manufacturing (AM) methods are being integrated in ceramics fabrication either as the main manufacturing tool or for auxiliary purposes. By using polymers, powders and preceramic formulated materials, AM techniques are pushing towards higher resol ...

Strain and filler ratio transitions from chains network to filler network damage in EPDM during single and cyclic loadings

Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz

Chains and filler network damage were investigated during single and multiple cycles on a series of vulcanized EPDM containing various filler contents. In both series of experiments, a strain and a filler ratio transitions for damage mechanisms were identi ...
