Epithelium‐Inspired, Ultrahigh‐Toughness, Ultralow‐Hysteresis, and Highly Compressible Polymer Hydrogels as Self‐Powered, Visual, and Underwater Strain Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by epithelial tissue, epithelium‐like structure hydrogels are synthesized. The as‐prepared hydrogels exhibit ultrahigh toughness, ultralow hysteresis, and ultrahigh compressibility, which can be utilized as self‐powered and visual strain sensors.

Structural Effects of Drying Shrinkage

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 2005
Predicting delayed strains in concrete proves to be critical to a large number of prestressed concrete structures. These delayed strains include drying shrinkage, basic, and drying creep strains essentially. In this paper, a model for identifying structural effects, due to cracking, on the behavior of drying concrete is presented. Existing experimental

Apple shrinkage upon drying

Journal of Food Engineering, 1995
Abstract In this paper results from a study of the shrinkage of Mutsu apple slices during drying in a connective oven are presented. The results are expressed as relationships between volume and thickness reduction as well as between volume reduction and water content. No differences were observed with respect to slice size.

Potato Shrinkage During Hot Air Drying

Food Science and Technology International, 2010
Shrinkage is one of the most important physical changes that occur during the dehydration of foods. In this work, the effect of the temperature (35, 40, 50, 60 and 70 °C) and air velocity (7, 8, 9 and 10 m/s) on bulk volumetric shrinkage was investigated. Volume changes were evaluated by image analysis.
