The analytical formulas describing the behaviour of dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) are based on hyperelastic strain energy density functions. The analytical modelling of a DEA will only lead to meaningful results if the dielectric elastomer can be a ...
Stretchable electronics are integrated circuitry that can reversibly expand and relax while retaining their functionality. This emerging technology has great potential in unconventional electronic application areas, especially in biomedical sector. To atta ...
In continuous composite production, for example the continuous impregnation of steel wires or cords with a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix, an ideal and cost-effective solution to improve interfacial adhesion and durability would be to deposit and cure a ...
We report results on the development of an innovative fast-curing coupling method using a UV-curable epoxy primer based on a cycloaliphatic di-epoxide resin. The materials to bond are metallic wires and a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. The curing kinet ...
Dielectric elastomers are highly promising as functional materials for the rapidly developing field of flexible actuator and generator technology. They offer a unique combination of low densities and large reversible deformations of up to more than 100% in ...
The cost-effective production of high-performance and durable steel reinforced thermoplastic composites requires improvement of the adhesion encountered at the interface between metallic substrates (galvanized steel) and a thermoplastic elastomer (TPU). Co ...
This work addresses the development of composite materials that contain metallic load-bearing cords with the aim of combining outstanding mechanical performance with added functionality, including electrical conductivity, data transmission, and temperature ...
Petroleum-based polymers and composites are commonly used in a wide variety of application fields. However ecological concerns, increasing oil prices and dwindling natural resources explain why nowadays industrial and public interest is more than ever focu ...
One of the goals of microfluidics is to bring a whole laboratory processing chain on a few square centimeters, Lab-On-Chips (LOC). But current LOCs require many heavy and power-consuming off-chip controls like pneumatics, pumps and valves, which keep the s ...
The overall aim of this thesis has been to assess the potential of latex-based technologies for the preparation of polymer/clay nanocomposites. The key feature of latex-based technologies is that they offer the possibility of improved control of the final ...
