A dam‐inspired textile patch with layer‐by‐layer isovolumetric water transport for sweat loss monitoring

open access: yesInfoMat, EarlyView.
A dam‐inspired textile patch for controllable and quantitative sweat transport (as in dams transporting ships) and sweat loss monitoring. Unlike the conventional Janus‐structured textile of directional water transport model, this textile patch features a multi‐laminated all‐porous fabric structure with an unprecedented layer‐by‐layer isovolumetric ...

Exploring Thermal and Mechanical Strains During Laying Down Process in Fused Filament Fabrication

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
This study analyzes strain evolution and thermal behavior during FFF of PLA using strain gauges and infrared imaging. Microstrain levels depend on printing conditions, with adhesion‐induced compression during cooling and peak strains in early layers. Microtomography shows minimal porosity, while thermal imaging reveals rapid heat penetration, strong ...
