Dynamics of space charge and electroluminescence modelling in polyethylene

open access: yes, 2012
Space charge has been recognized as an important factor contributing to the electrical failure of the cable insulation. Extensive efforts have been made to investigate space charge dynamics within polymeric insulations under electric stresses.

Osteolysis with Ceramic on Highly Cross-linked Polyethylene

open access: yesReconstructive Review, 2014
A major reason for the longevity of native articular cartilage over that of materials used in arthroplasties is the former’s ability to self-lubricate. The self-lubricating property of hyaline cartilage produces an extraordinarily low coefficient of friction between the joint surfaces.

4D–Printed Photothermally Actuated Soft Microgripper on an Optical Fiber Tip for Biomedical Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In this study, we developed a light–driven soft microgripper by 3D–printing a photo–crosslinkable, temperature–responsive hydrogel with embedded silver particles onto an optical fiber tip. The microgripper actuates via photothermal effects at cell culture temperature and can gently grasp spheroids without minimal damage, offering a compact, actuator ...

Microwall‐Integrated Terahertz Metasurfaces for Spatially Guided Label‐Free Sensing of Micrometer‐Scale Plastic Particles

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A THz metasurface device integrating a metal–dielectric–metal resonator with microwall‐defined recessed regions enables spatially guided, label‐free sensing of micrometer‐scale plastic particles. The as‐fabricated devices exhibit distinct THz reflection resonances for 3.1‐µm polystyrene particles and a concentration‐dependent resonance‐frequency‐shift ...

Nonlocomotory Robotic Strategies for Dynamic Rotation Control in Terrestrial Robots: A Review

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Terrestrial robots increasingly require rapid body rotation to maintain stability and agility in complex environments. This review shows nonlocomotory rotational control strategies that operate without ground contact, including reaction wheels, tails, bars, limbs, and thrusters.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...
