3D Printed Omniphobic Slippery Liquid Infused Porous Surfaces for Low Surface Tension Repellency
Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.A 3D printing strategy fabricates omniphobic slippery liquid‐infused porous structures with lubricant reservoirs and interconnected microchannels. A post‐printing surface treatment modifies the porous surface to ensure compatibility with the infused fluorinated lubricant.

Inflation and unemployment revisited: grease vs. sand [PDF]
, 1998 As inflation rates in the United States decline, analysts are asking if there are economic reasons to hold the rates at levels above zero. Previous studies of whether inflation "greases the wheels" of the labor market ignore inflation's potential for ...

The use of rapid prototyping techniques (RPT) to manufacture micro channels suitable for high operation pressures and uPIV [PDF]
, 2016 This paper aims to present a new methodology to manufacture micro-channels suitable for high operating pressures and micro particle image velocimetry (µPIV) measurements using a rapid-prototyping high-resolution 3D printer. This methodology can fabricate

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This article presents dielectric elastomer switch (DES) materials, based on composite thin films. Alignment of graphite flakes due to their physical confinement within the thin films lead to much stronger piezoresistive responses than bulk composites, while their durability exceeds that of conventional liquid‐based DES materials.

Sliding Friction Characteristics of MAC Greases under Vacuum Condition
Tribology Online, 2006 Even though solid lubricants or low-volatile greases are used for lubrication of mechanical equipments in space satellites, the life of grease is longer than that of solid lubricants because of the hydrodynamic effects and replenishment. New grease using

Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.

Is corruption an efficient grease? [PDF]
This paper tests whether corruption may act as an efficient grease for the wheels of an oth-erwise deficient institutional framework. We analyze the interaction between aggregate efficiency, corruption, and other dimensions of governance for a panel of ...

Evaluation of Property Difference between Traction Oil and Traction Grease
Journal of Advanced Mechanical Design, Systems, and Manufacturing, 2009 In this paper, the characteristics of traction grease are evaluated. The difference in film formation ability between traction oil and traction grease is focused on, and the state of film formation and the traction coefficient of traction oil and two ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work develops dynamically softening polyacrylamide hydrogels for time‐resolved imaging during continuous mechanical transitions. The study revealed that mechanotransduction is biphasic; YAP/TAZ inactivation is driven by early loss of the nucleocytoskeletal continuum connecting subnuclear adhesions, F‐actin, and the nuclear envelope, coupled with ...
