Improvement of mechanical properties of elastic materials by chemical methods
Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 2020 Elastomers such as gels and rubbers play various roles in our lives. Elastomers, which guarantee the safety of airplanes and automobiles and the stability of buildings, are materials that have made the lives of people in the twentieth century extremely ...

Mechanical switching of ferro-electric rubber [PDF]
, 2008 At the A to C transition, smectic elastomers have recently been observed to undergo $\sim$35% spontaneous shear strains. We first explicitly describe how strains of up to twice this value could be mechanically or electrically induced in Sm-$C$ elastomers

Measurement of the accuracy of dental working casts using a coordinate measuring machine [PDF]
Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2016 Background/Aim: Dental impressions present a negative imprint of intraoral tissues of a patient which is, by pouring in gypsum, transferred extraorally on the working cast.

Dynamics of smectic elastomers [PDF]
, 2006 We study the low-frequency, long-wavelength dynamics of liquid crystal elastomers, crosslinked in the smectic-$A$ phase, in their smectic-$A$, biaxial smectic and smectic-$C$ phases. Two different yet related formulations are employed.

Hydrogen bonded supramolecular elastomers : correlating hydrogen bonding strength with morphology and rheology [PDF]
, 2010 A series of six low molecular weight elastomers with hydrogen bonding end-groups have been designed, synthesised and studied. The poly(urethane) based elastomers all contained essentially the same hard block content (ca.

Innovative Elastomers with Antimicrobial Activity May Decrease Infection Risks during Milking
Pathogens, 2023 Contagious pathogens are very costly to dairy herds, and they may have zoonotic and reverse-zoonotic potentials and may contribute to the spread of antimicrobial resistance. One of the most important risk factors for spreading these infections is milking,

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

Director dynamics in liquid-crystal physical gels [PDF]
, 2007 Nematic liquid-crystal (LC) elastomers and gels have a rubbery polymer network coupled to the nematic director. While LC elastomers show a single, non-hydrodynamic relaxation mode, dynamic light-scattering studies of self-assembled liquid-crystal gels ...
