A Constraint‐Based Analytical Framework for Design‐Space Analysis and Material Screening of Tubular Multilayer Dielectric Elastomer Pumps for Extracorporeal Circulatory Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A constraint‐based analytical framework maps the coupled effects of material properties, structural parameters, and operating conditions in tubular dielectric elastomer pumps for extracorporeal circulatory applications. The approach defines performance boundaries through mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic constraints and identifies feasible design ...

The Paradigms of Chinese Ethnic Politics

open access: yes, 2011
The nature of the interethnic relationships is determined by the unwritten principle according to which they present themselves as a zero-sum operation, where the profit of one party will necessarily be associated with loss for the opposite side of the equation.

Liquid Metal Resistive Sensing Architectures for Measuring Diaphragm Strain Responses on Obstructed Surfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A liquid metal‐based strain‐sensing architecture to measure the deformation of a circular diaphragm against obstructed surfaces is formulated using finite element modeling and confocal imaging to establish the mechanical framework and is utilized to control diaphragm‐induced confinement on a bead array, as validated by biomolecular loading level ...

Politics and Theatre in the PRC: Fifty Years of Teahouse on the Chinese Stage

open access: yes, 2013
Ever since its introduction to China in the early twentieth century, spoken drama (huaju) has been at the forefront of social and political changes. Its realistic portrayal of life and use of spoken dialogue made it an ideal vehicle to promote social ...

Exceptional Elasto‐Dielectric Properties in a Highly Flexible Dielectric Elastomer Composite: The Key Roles of Parallel Elastic Nanofibers

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Soft dielectric elastomer composites often face a trade‐off between enhanced dielectric properties and mechanical compliance. Here, a parallel‐aligned polyurethane nanofiber network embedded in PDMS creates a flexible, durable composite with increased permittivity, low modulus, and fatigue stability after 100,000 cycles.

Zero‐Waste Manufacturing of Ophthalmic Lenses by Direct Fluidic Shaping in Arbitrary Domains

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Conventional ophthalmic lens manufacturing discards up to 97% of material through subtractive processes. The Cookie Cutter algorithm extends Fluidic Shaping to arbitrary rim geometries. The framework prescribes a spatially varying boundary height that, under neutral buoyancy and surface tension, shapes curable polymer into spherocylindrical lenses that

Customizable Piezo‐Transmittance‐Based Multiaxial Force Sensor With Deep‐Learning‐Assisted Sensing

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Development of a soft tri‐axis piezo‐transmittance sensor with integrated LEDs and photodiodes enables multidirectional force sensing through deformation‐induced optical modulation. A tailored 1D convolutional neural network provides real‐time force direction and intensity prediction, achieving 99.6% classification accuracy and a mean squared error of ...

Spatial Stiffness Programming in Single‐Filament Material Extrusion Through Data‐Driven Thermal Foaming

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Single‐filament material extrusion enables spatial stiffness programming through locally controlled thermal foaming of TPU. A data‐driven G‐code framework tunes porosity from 15.7% to 40.7% and hardness from 90 to 63 Shore A within and across layers. Monolithic hands and soft actuators consequently achieve distinct programmed motions without material ...
