Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

open access: yesPolymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

Design and Development of a Modular Ballistic Pendulum for High‐Impulse Measurement in Contact and Near‐Field Explosive Loading

open access: yesPropellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Measuring impulse from explosive charges in contact and near‐field configurations presents practical challenges due to wide variation in impulse magnitude. Ballistic pendula are widely used for impulse measurement, but many existing designs are limited to narrow operating envelopes or are poorly suited to repeated contact testing and tamped ...

A review on free piston linear engine (FPLE)

open access: yes, 2018
Free piston engine generator (FPEG) in the engine system can be considered as a linear energy conversion system. Cascade control for the stability of piston operation level and PID controllers are proposed for both the outer and inner loop.

An Ergonomic Customizable Soft Robotic Glove Toward Personalized Hand Rehabilitation

open access: yesSmartBot, EarlyView.
Soft robotic gloves for hand rehabilitation are often limited by poor fit and uneven pressure on the fingers. Here, the authors report an ergonomic all‐fabric glove whose dual‐action actuators are tailored to individual finger geometry by CNC heat sealing, with symmetrical chambers that distribute interface pressure more evenly. Weighing only 90 g, the
