The effect of temperature changes on to quasi-static tensile and flexural performance of glass fibre reinforced PA66 composites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
A significant method of reducing CO2 emissions in road vehicles is to reduce the vehicle mass. One means in which this can be achieved is to adopt lightweight materials such as thermoplastic composites.

Finite bending and pattern evolution of the associated instability for a dielectric elastomer slab [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
We investigate the finite bending and the associated bending instability of an incompressible dielectric slab subject to a combination of applied voltage and axial compression, using nonlinear electro-elasticity theory and its incremental version.

Multifunctional Microstructured Surfaces by Microcontact Printing of Reactive Microgels

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Reactive poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam‐co‐glycidyl methacrylate) microgels are used as functional inks to create surface‐grafted arrays on glass via microcontact printing. The patterns (10–50 µm widths and spacings) enable stable binding and post‐functionalization with dyes and peptides.

Improvement of curving performance of railway vehicle by axle box suspension with variable longitudinal stiffness

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
In order to improve the running performance of a railway vehicle, the authors developed the axle box suspension with the magnetic elastomer. The magnetic elastomer is composed of magnetic particles and the elastomer such as synthetic rubber.

Room‐Temperature, High‐Resolution Soft Anisotropic Conductive Film for Electrical Interfacing in Stretchable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A UV‐crosslinkable soft anisotropic conductive film (ACF) provides high‐resolution, room‐temperature electrical interfacing. Upon UV exposure, azide crosslinkers within the ACF matrix form covalent bonds with a wide range of C–H‐containing materials, resulting in interfaces that are both mechanically durable and electrically reliable.

Extremely stretchable and self-healing conductor based on thermoplastic elastomer for all-three-dimensional printed triboelectric nanogenerator

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Advances in next-generation soft electronic devices rely on the development of highly deformable, healable, and printable energy generators to power these electronics. Development of deformable or wearable energy generators that can simultaneously attain

Universal Elasticity and Fluctuations of Nematic Gels

open access: yes, 2002
We study elasticity of spontaneously orientationally-ordered amorphous solids, characterized by a vanishing transverse shear modulus, as realized for example by nematic elastomers and gels.

Phase chirality and stereo-selective swelling of cholesteric elastomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Cholesteric elastomers possess a macroscopic ``phase chirality'' as the director n rotates in a helical fashion along an optical axis $z$ and can be described by a chiral order parameter.
