In Situ Copper Electroplating Turns Material Extrusion 3D Printers Into Metal–Polymer Hybrid Fabricators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An in situ electroplating approach for MEX 3D printing is proposed, enabling copper deposition during the fabrication of conductive polymers. The method combines a printer‐integrated plating head, ML‐based g‐code control, and stop‐and‐go printing, achieving near‐bulk copper conductivity and enabling fully embedded, assembly‐free electronic components ...

TOWARDS FREE PISTON ENGINE APPLICATIONS

Proceedings of the JFPS International Symposium on Fluid Power, 2002
A hydraulic free piston engine (HFPE) combines a diesel engine and a hydraulic pump into one compact component. The piston assembly motion is influenced by pressures and inertia forces only and no mechanical linkage control the motion. The piston assembly moves during operation linearly back and forth between dead centres by means of the fuel energy ...

Adhesive Double‐Network Granular Organogel E‐Skin

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce a double‐network granular organogel adhesive for electronic skin, overcoming adhesion and strength trade‐offs. It provides reversible, robust bonding and ionic conductivity, enabling wearable and soft robotic e‐skin. Thanks to the e‐skin adhesive, a soft robotic trunk can recognize touch, temperature, humidity, and acidity.
