Digital manufacturing of personalised footwear with embedded sensors
Danick Briand, Ryan Mitchell van Dommelen, Rubaiyet Iftekharul Haque, Jaemin Kim
The strong clinical demand for more accurate and personalized health monitoring technologies has called for the development of additively manufactured wearable devices. While the materials palette for additive manufacturing continues to expand, the integra ...
2023Transient Elastomers with High Dielectric Permittivity for Actuators, Sensors, and Beyond
Holger Frauenrath, Yauhen Sheima
Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are key materials in actuators, sensors, energy harvesters, and stretchable electronics. These devices find applications in important emerging fields such as personalized medicine, renewable energy, and soft robotics. However, e ...
AMER CHEMICAL SOC20223D 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 ...
EPFL2022The odd free surface flows of a colloidal chiral fluid
In simple fluids, such as water, invariance under parity and time-reversal symmetry imposes that the rotation of constituent 'atoms' is determined by the flow and that viscous stresses damp motion. Activation of the rotational degrees of freedom of a fluid ...
NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP2019Modelling of fluid injection into a frictional weakening dilatant fault
Brice Tanguy Alphonse Lecampion, Federico Ciardo
Understanding the mechanism of nucleation of dynamic rupture is an important issue in seismology. It is the key factor in determining the seismic potential of pre-existing faults under long-term loadings. Furthermore, the activation of Mode II fracture by ...
2016Fabrication of suspended micro-resonator integrated with PZE electrodes
Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Annalisa De Pastina
The objective of this project is the fabrication of hollow piezoelectric micro electric mechanical systems (PZE-MEMS) arrays with suspended micro-channels integrated with a microfluidic network. The ultimate goal is to demonstrate the feasibility of charac ...
2015Wafer-level micro-structuring of glassy carbon
Hans Peter Herzig, Toralf Scharf, Karin Prater, Loïc Etienne Hans, Cédric Kilchoer
Glassy carbon is used nowadays for a variety of applicationsbecause of its mechanical strength, thermal stability and non-sticking adhesion properties. One application is glass molding that allows to realize high resolution diffractive optical elements on ...
Spie-Int Soc Optical Engineering2014Synthesis of poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide) surfactant and its use in the synthesis of polyhydroxyethyl methacrylate nanoparticles containing azo-dye
A synthetic path to poly(ethylene-co-butylene)-block-poly(ethylene oxide), a substitute for the "KLE" surfactant was developed. For this purpose, mono hydroxyl end-functionalized poly(ethylene-co-butylene) (similar to 3800 g mol(-1)) was modified with a tr ...
Royal Soc Chemistry2014Interaction of glia with a compliant, microstructured silicone surface
Stéphanie Lacour, Ivan Rusev Minev
Soft bioengineered surfaces offer a route towards modulating the tissue responses to chronically implanted devices and may enhance their functionality. In this communication we fabricate microtopographically rich and mechanically compliant silicone surface ...
Elsevier2013Brownian motion in a Maxwell fluid
The equilibrium dynamics of a spherical particle immersed in a complex Maxwell fluid is analyzed in terms of velocity autocorrelation function (VACF), mean-square displacement (MSD), and power spectral density (PSD). We elucidate the role of hydrodynamic m ...
