Molecular Dynamics Studies of Shape Memory Polymers: From Bead–Spring Models to Atomistic Simulations

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Coarse‐grained (left) and atomistic (right) models of the shape memory polymer ESTANE ETE 75DT3 are shown schematically. The two representations bridge molecular detail and mesoscopic description. Both models capture shape memory behavior, linking segmental mobility and conformational relaxation of anisotropic chains to macroscopic recovery, and ...

Sufficient Conditions Used in Admittance Selection for Planar Force-guided Assembly [PDF]

, 2002
Admittance control approaches show significant promise in providing reliable force-guided assembly. An important issue in the development of these approaches is the specification of an appropriate admittance control law.

Analyzing Electronic Excitations and Exciton Binding Energies in Y6 Films

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The Y6 molecule is used for increasing the efficiency of organic solar cells. The exciton binding energy is calculated for ensembles of Y6 molecules that are representative of the typically used films. The calculations show that the excitons typically spread out over many molecules.

A set oriented approach to global optimal control [PDF]

, 2002
We describe an algorithm for computing the value function for 'all source, single destination' discrete-time nonlinear optimal control problems together with approximations of associated globally optimal control strategies.

Enhancing Optoelectronic Properties in Phthalocyanine‐Based SURMOFs: Synthesis of ABAB Linkers by Avoiding Statistical Condensation with Tailored Building Blocks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel phthalocyanine (PC)‐based metal–organic framework (MOFs) is synthesized using ditopic PC linkers obtained through regioselective statistical condensation. The resulting MOF exhibits significant improvements in electronic absorption, thereby enhancing the material's performance in light harvesting and energy conversion.

A Formation Collision Avoidance System for Unmanned Surface Vehicles With Leader-Follower Structure

IEEE Access, 2019
This paper deals with the problem of formation collision avoidance for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Compared with the generalship formation, the formation collision avoidance system (FCAS) needs better responsiveness and stability because of faster ...

Finite control set model predictive control with limit cycle stability guarantees

Automatica
This paper considers the design of finite control set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) for discrete-time switched affine systems. Existing FCS-MPC methods typically pursue practical stability guarantees, which ensure convergence to a bounded invariant set that contains a desired steady state.

Photoswitchable Conductive Metal–Organic Frameworks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A conductive material where the conductivity can be modulated remotely by irradiation with light is presented. It is based on films of conductive metal–organic framework type Cu3(HHTP)2 with embedded photochromic molecules such as azobenzene, diarylethene, spiropyran, and hexaarylbiimidazole in the pores.

Approximation of the Sections of the Set of Trajectories of the Control System Described by a Nonlinear Volterra Integral Equation

Mathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2015
Approximation of the sections of the set of trajectories of the control system described by a nonlinear Volterra integral equation is studied. The admissible control functions are chosen from the closed ball of the space Lp, p > 1, with radius µ and ...

Ideal Molecular Sieving with a Dense MOF for Helium Upgrading with Highly Diffusion Selective Mixed Matrix Membranes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The separation of Helium gas from natural gas is challenging but highly important. MIL‐116(Ga), a “non‐porous” metal–organic framework is used as a molecular sieve to separate He from CH4. Druse‐like MIL‐116(Ga) particles are integrated into polysulfone mixed matrix membranes.
