Direct Laser Writing of Magnetic Micro Actuators With a Stimulus‐Responsive Compliant Hinge

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents a versatile modular design strategy for adaptive 3D microactuators. Using two‐photon‐induced C,H insertion reactions within solid polymer layers, chemically distinct hinge and stimulus responsive materials are patterned in one step. The hinge's properties enable tunable motion, mechanical control, and reconfigurable actuation across

Distributed Generation Locating and Sizing in Active Distribution Network Considering Network Reconfiguration

IEEE Access, 2017
The traditional distributed generation (DG) locating and sizing method is based on a fixed network structure, which is assumed to be unchangeable during the planning period. The flexible distribution network structure is not considered.

Incorporating Si into Sb2Se3: Tailoring Optical Phase Change Materials via Nanocomposites

Advanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
We study the structural, optical, and thermal effects of adding silicon to Sb2Se3 and demonstrate that the as‐deposited solid solution phase segregates after electro‐thermal switching, creating a nanocomposite with effective‐medium properties and a phase‐change response.

Piezoresistivity Enhancement by Graphite Flake Alignment in Thin Composite Films for Dielectric Elastomer Switches

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.
