Soft pneumatic gripper integrated with multi‐configuration and variable‐stiffness functionality
Cognitive Computation and Systems, 2021 Soft grippers are compliant and self‐adaptive, and can be highly compatible with the surrounding environment in grasping tasks. Currently, most soft pneumatic grippers are developed with a single grasping configuration, which leads to poor universality ...

Nanomechanics of Electrorheological Suspensions with Polymer Dispersed Phase. Quantum-Mechanical Simulation [PDF]
Учёные записки Казанского университета: Серия Физико-математические науки, 2015 The microscopic structure and mechanical properties of electrorheological fluids in an electric field were investigated by means of quantum-mechanical computer simulation. Modified polyimides were considered as the solid-phase particles.

Electrorheological fluids [PDF]
, 1996 An Electrorheological fluid is normally a low-viscosity colloidal suspension, but when an electric field is applied, the fluid undergoes a reversible transition to a solid, being able to support considerable stress without yield. Commercial possibilities for such fluids are enormous, including clutches, brakes, valves,shock absorbers, and stepper ...

Electrorheological fluids [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1990 Electrorheological fluids (ER fluids) are suspensions of fine particles dispersed in an insulating fluid. If the properties of the particles and the fluid are selected properly, the resulting ER fluid can have the remarkable ability to flow like a liquid in its normal state, yet freeze into a gel in an electric field.

Sedimentation upon different carrier liquid in giant electrorheological fluid and its application
Frontiers in Materials, 2014 When giant electrorheological (GER) fluid is settled after some time, particles can precipitate out of the oil in a multistep process that involves the formation of larger particles, the aggregation of colloids, and eventual sedimentation.

Review of the Electrorheological (Er) Effect of Polyurethane-based Er Fluids
Applied Rheology, 2008 Electrorheological fluids (ERF) change viscosity when an electric field is applied. A special type of ERF consists of polyurethane particles which are doped with Li+ and /or Zn2+ cations and suspended in silicone oil.

Reynolds Number Effects in the Flow of a Vočadlo Electrorheological Fluid in a Curved Gap
International Journal of Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 2017 Many electrorheological fluids (ERFs) as fluids with micro-structure demonstrate a non-Newtonian behaviour. Rheometric measurements indicate that some flows of these fluids may by modelled as the flows of a Vočadlo ER fluid.

The origin of the interparticle potential of electrorheological fluids
Condensed Matter Physics, 2013 The particles of electrorheological fluids can be modelled as dielectric sphere (DS) immersed in a continuum dielectric. When an external field is applied, polarization charges are induced on the surfaces of the spheres that can be represented as point ...

Plasmakristall‐4 Experiment: 10 Years of Operation in Orbit
Contributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 66, Issue 7-8, September 2026.ABSTRACT Plasmakristall‐4 (PK‐4) is a microgravity complex plasma laboratory operated for 10 years on board the International Space Station. Its main purpose is the particle‐resolved investigation of generic condensed matter phenomena using strongly coupled suspensions of microparticles immersed in low‐pressure gas‐discharge plasmas.

Exploring the Use and Impact of Composite Materials in Robotics: A Systematic Review
Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4037-4060, September 2026.ABSTRACT Lightweight and high‐strength materials are important in robotics, as structural design impacts efficiency, payload capacity, and energy consumption. Composite materials, with their superior stiffness‐to‐weight ratios and multifunctional properties, offer clear advantages over conventional metals and polymers.
