Three-dimensional flexible porous conductors have significantly advanced wearable sensors and stretchable devices because of their specific high surface area. Dip coating polymers with graphene is a facile, low cost, scalable approach to integrate conductive layers the polymer substrate platforms; however, products often suffer from nanoparticle delamination overtime decay. Here, fabrication scheme based on accessible methods safe materials introduced surface-dope silicone nanoplatelets. The...
Abstract This study presents a low‐cost, tunable, and stretchable sensor fabricated based on spandex (SpX) yarns coated with graphene nanoplatelets (GnP) through dip‐coating process. The SpX/GnP is wrapped into silicone rubber (SR) sheath to protect the conductive layer against harsh conditions, which allows for fabricating washable wearable sensors. Dip‐coating parameters are optimized obtain maximum GnP coating rate. covering tailored achieve high stretchability beyond sensing limit of...
Laser additive manufacturing has led to a paradigm shift in the design of next-generation customized porous implants aiming integrate better with surrounding bone. However, conflicting criteria have limited development fully functional implants; increasing porosity improves body fluid/cell-laden prepolymer permeability at expense compromising mechanical stability. Here, functionally gradient and scaffolds designed based on interconnected triply periodic minimal surfaces (TPMS) are...
Natural fibers are gaining wide attention due to their much lower carbon footprint and economic factors compared synthetic fibers. The moisture affinity of these lignocellulosic fibres, however, is still one the main challenges when using them, e.g., for outdoor applications, leading fast degradation rates. Plastination a technique originally used preservation human animal body organs many years, by replacing water fat present in tissues with polymer. This article investigates feasibility...
Temperature and humidity measurements in electrochemical energy devices are essential for maximizing their overall performance under different operating conditions avoiding hazardous consequences that may arise from the malfunction of these systems. Using sensors situ temperature relative (RH) is a promising approach continuous monitoring management power sources. Here, we report on feasibility using thread-based RH proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) as an example devices....
A dedicated custom-built experimental setup and testing methodology were designed manufactured for the investigation of inter-ply friction behavior Carbon/Epoxy fabric prepregs at varying interfacial temperatures, rates, compaction pressures. The parameters selected in ranges corresponding with those pregelation phase consolidation processes autoclave processing laminates sandwich panels. thorough understanding frictional shear forces during was obtained, suggesting a strong dependence on...
An initial investigation of the liquid phase sintering Sm2Co17 using a 60 wt% Sm ‐ 40 Co aid has been conducted. The total samarium content was varied from 25.3 to 34.5 through additions, with resulting phases present in sintered magnets being uncertain. temperature 1110°C 1140°C for time 30 minutes. With exception saturation induction, Bs, which decreased approximately 20%, magnetic properties increased increasing content. This particularly true intrinsic coercive force, Hci, as much...
Detailed characterization of fabric reinforcements is necessary to ensure the quality manufactured composite parts, and subsequently prevent structural failure during service. A lack consensus standardization exists in selecting test methods for mechanical fabrics. Moreover, reality, any experimentation there are sources uncertainties which may result inconsistencies interpretation data comparison different testing methods. The aim this article show how simple statistical analysis be used...
