With the proliferation and diversification of metal additive manufacturing (AM) processes in recent years, effective decision tools for process selection are increasing importance. This paper presents a novel time activity based cost model Wire-Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), an emergent AM technology. The full chain is modelled tool-path deposition employed. results show that WAAM has significant potential as cost-effective approach compared to other conventional CNC machining methods....
Graphene fiber-based supercapacitors (GFSCs) hold high power density, fast charge–discharge rate, ultralong cycling life, exceptional mechanical/electrical properties, and safe operation conditions, making them very promising to small wearable electronics. However, the electrochemical performance is still limited by severe stacking of graphene sheets, hydrophobicity fibers, complex preparation process. In this work, we develop a facile but robust strategy easily enhance properties...
Carbon nanomaterials are desirable candidates for lightweight, highly conductive, and corrosion-resistant current collectors. However, a key obstacle is their weak interconnection between adjacent nanostructures, which renders orders of magnitude lower electrical conductivity mechanical strength in the bulk assemblies. Here we report an "epitaxial welding" strategy to engineer carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into crystalline interconnected structures. Solution-based polyacrylonitrile was conformally...
In recent years, the use of functional textiles has attained attention due to their advantageous health and safety issues. Therefore, this study investigated flame retardancy on cotton (COT) polyester-cotton (PC) fabrics treated with different concentrations silica zinc nanoparticles through a sol-gel finishing technique. FTIR, SEM, TGA were conducted for characterization coated fabric samples. The FTIR SEM Pristine Treated Cotton PC illustrated that SiO2 (silica dioxide) ZnO (Zinc oxide)...
We propose a temperature visualization and dynamic management sandwich-structure textile based on an ultra-stretchable spiral conductive composite yarn, which maintains flexibility, breathability, stretchability excellent performance stability.
Recently, soft actuators have been found to great potential for various applications due their ability be mechanically reconfigured in response external stimuli. However, the balance between output force and considerable strain constrains further application. In this work, a novel electrothermal actuator was fabricated by polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-coated carbon nanotube sponge (CNTS). The results showed that CNTS heated 365 °C ∼1 s when triggered voltage of 3.5 V. Consequently, large...
The advancement of next-generation wearable electronics is highly inclined with electro-conductive yarn having excellent flexibility and functionality. However, the deficiency existing metal-based nanomaterial (carbon nanotube, i.e., CNT)-based conductive wires indeed limits their modest requirements due to inadequate elasticity mediocre antiabrasion ability in conjunction stable electrothermal performance for enough effective utilization real textiles. This study introduces an interesting...
Abstract Polymer composites with lightweight, ultralow dielectric constant, excellent thermal insulation and mechanical properties are in high demand aerospace, transport, wireless communications other fields. In this work, the three‐dimensional woven Kevlar/glass hybrid (3DKGC) strength, were obtained Kevlar fiber glass as raw materials. The results showed that volume content of air 3DKGC is over 82% density low 0.29 g·cm −3 , while compression strength 7.68 MPa. exhibits an ultra‐low...
