Mesophase Tunable Actuation of Ionic Thiol‐Acrylate Liquid Crystal Elastomers

Small, EarlyView.
Thiol‐acrylate ionic liquid crystal elastomers (iLCE) are developed with nematic and cybotactic mesophases and polydomain and monodomain genesis. The effect of genesis, mesophase, and microstructure on electroactuation was studied. ABSTRACT Electroactive polymers (EAPs) are envisioned to play a crucial role in next‐generation soft robotics for their ...

Microscopic Stress Analysis of Silicon Carbide Devices Under Overcurrent Conditions in DC Solid‐State Circuit Breakers

IET Smart Energy Systems, EarlyView.
A coupled Saber–TCAD–thermo‐mechanical simulation framework is proposed to evaluate microscopic stresses in SiC MOSFETs under overcurrent operation. Ultrahigh gate‐voltage driving reduces thermal and mechanical stress but increases gate oxide electric‐field stress, revealing a reliability tradeoff for DC solid‐state circuit breakers.
