Breakthroughs in Photonics 2012: Large-Area Ultrathin Photonics

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2013
Recent work is reviewed on organic solar cells thinner than a thread of spider silk, so flexible that they can be wrapped firmly around a human hair, lighter than autumn leaves and with an unprecedented specific weight of 10 W/g.

Silicone Breast Implants as a Model System for Understanding Polymer Permeation in Soft Materials In Vivo

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone breast implants are presented as a model system for understanding polymer permeation in vivo. Rather than representing material failure, “gel bleed” emerges from solution–diffusion transport‐mediated. By integrating polymer architecture, physicochemical transport, and biointerfacial processes, this review provides a unified framework that ...

Modeling Thread Milling Forces in Mini-hole in Dental Metallic Materials [PDF]

, 2017
Thread milling processes produces lower forces and residual stresses if compared to thread cutting by turning, as the cutting area is lower because the feed rate is not dependent to the cutting speed.

ELECTRODYNAMIC STABILITY COMPUTATIONS FOR FLEXIBLE CONDUCTORS OF THE AERIAL LINES

Известия высших учебных заведений и энергетических объединенний СНГ: Энергетика, 2015
In aerial transmission lines aluminium multiwire conductors are in use. Owing to their flexible design the electrodynamic effect of short circuit currents may lead to intolerable mutual rendezvous and even cross-whipping of the phase conductors.

Rational Tuning of Hygroscopic Oscillation of Stacked Nanoflake Assemblies for Continuous Ambient Energy Harvesting

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...
