Eucommia Ulmoides Gum Soft‐Hard Gradient Composite Materials with Shape Memory Property

Macromolecular Materials and Engineering
Eucommia Ulmoides gum (EUG) is a natural polymer material with unique “rubber‐plastic duality” and good shape memory properties. In this paper, the hardness of EUG is greatly reduced by adjusting the cross‐linking density and adding physical microspheres

Diffusion‐based size determination of solute particles: a method adapted for postsynaptic proteins

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
We present a diffusion‐based approach for measuring the size of macromolecules and their complexes, and demonstrate its use on postsynaptic proteins. The method requires fluorescein‐labelled protein samples, a microfluidic device that maintains laminar flow for said samples, a microscope recording the emitted fluorescent signals, and an analytic ...

Volume changes measurement of elastomers using 3D DIC

Acta Polytechnica CTU Proceedings, 2023
The presented research aims at measuring the volume changes of elastomers using digital image correlation (DIC) in the 3D configuration (stereo DIC). The deformation measurement method in stereo configuration was applied during the mechanical testing of

Using a Supramolecular Approach to Engineer Modular Hydrogel Platforms for Culturing Protoplasts – from General Tissue Engineering to Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.
Using supramolecular monomers, various hydrogel culture systems were formulated to culture protoplasts; including 2D, 2.5D, and 3D hydrogels. Depending on the culture platform, bioactive functionalization led to protoplast enlargement (2D and 2.5D) or plasmolysis (3D). This work shows the potential to modularly engineer synthetic platforms for cellular

Soft‐Layered Composites with Wrinkling‐Activated Multi‐Linear Elastic Behavior, Stress Mitigation, and Enhanced Strain Energy Storage

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
In this study, exciting new bi‐/multi‐linear elastic behavior of soft elastic composites that accompany the activation of wrinkling in the embedded interfacial layers is analyzed. The new features and performance of these composite materials, including dramatic enhancements in energy storage, can be tailored by the concentration of interfacial layers ...

Microscale 3D Printed Pillars and Porous Polymeric Structures: Manufacturability and Micromechanics

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates how two‐photon polymerization enables the fabrication of microscale solid and porous structures from IP‐Q, IP‐S, and IP‐PDMS resins. Combining morphological and mechanical characterization, the study provides the first systematic insights into IP‐Q mechanics and reveals how processing parameters affect structure and stiffness ...

Fixture for the High-Frequency Transfer Path Analysis for Relative Comparison of Fluids of an Electric Motor

Vibration, 2021
In a previous paper, it was determined that coolant fluids can have a significant influence on the acoustic emission of an electric motor. There is no appliance that can investigate and compare the transfer path analysis of isolated fluids. For this case,
