Transfer Printing and Reconfiguration of Soft Electronics Using Digital Microfluidics and Laser Machining

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This paper presents a digital microfluidics‐based technique for transferring and reconfiguring soft nanomembranes. Laser‐machined nanothin membranes are picked up, transported, and aligned via tailored surface tension and the actuation of water droplets, enabling the development of flexible electronics, the integration of functional materials on 3D ...

Buckling of chiral elastic rings spanned by fluid films

open access: yesVietnam Journal of Mechanics, 2022
We use variational method to examine buckling of chiral elastic rings spanned by fluid films. We find that the critical surface tension of the fluid film at which buckling occurs depends on the degree of chirality, regardless whether the ring possesses ...

Stretching and Buckling of Small Elastic Fibers in Turbulence [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review Letters, 2018
Small flexible fibers in a turbulent flow are found to be most of the time as straight as stiff rods. This is due to the cooperative action of flexural rigidity and fluid stretching. However, fibers might bend and buckle when they tumble and experience a strong-enough local compressive shear.

Out-of-Plane Stability of Circular Steel Tubular Vierendeel Truss Arches Incorporating Torsional Effects of Chords

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Torsional stiffnesses of chords contribute considerably to the sectional torsional stiffness of steel tubular Vierendeel truss arches and hence determine their out-of-plane buckling.

Microsphere‐Templated Conductive Syntactic Foams for Recyclable and Additively Manufactured Soft Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work introduces a microsphere‐templated strategy to fabricate reprocessable PEDOT:PSS syntactic foams with tunable porosity, stable conductivity, and 3D printability. In situ PEDOT:PSS coatings create a conductive network that maintains electrical performance at high void fractions.
