Surface Wrinkling of Plasma‐Exposed PDMS is Caused by Water Vapor Sorption: An Optical Environmental Sensor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Wrinkling of soft materials, such as polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), underpins a myriad of technologies. Plasma‐oxidation of PDMS induces spontaneous wrinkling, which is canonically attributed to thermal expansion‐contraction of bilayers. Employing experiments and modelling, it is demonstrated that sorption of water vapor is instead responsible for ...

3D Concrete Printing of Triply Periodic Minimum Surfaces for Enhanced Carbon Capture and Storage

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D‐printable and carbon‐capturing concrete is developed by replacing cement with diatomaceous earth (DE), which enhances rheology, provides hierarchical porosity, and serves as a nucleation site for carbonation. Maximum absorption of 488.7 gCO2 kgcement−1 is achieved in 7 days, a 142% increase over conventional concrete, and the triply periodic ...

Experimentally Validated Design Principles of D‐Block Transition Metal Single‐Atom Non‐Dissociative Chemisorption Solid‐State Hydrogen Storage Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A novel descriptor and a bottom‐up design principle are established to enable the rational design of hydrogen storage materials based on d‐block transition metal single‐atom COFs. By modulating H₂ adsorption through d‐orbital tuning, this approach achieves both high storage capacity and fast kinetics, while revealing a volcano‐type relationship between

Substrate Stress Relaxation Regulates Cell‐Mediated Assembly of Extracellular Matrix

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Silicone‐based viscoelastic substrates with tunable stress relaxation reveal how matrix mechanics regulates cellular mechanosensing and cell‐mediated matrix remodelling in the stiff regime. High stress relaxation promotes assembly of fibronectin fibril‐like structures, increased nuclear localization of YAP and formation of β1 integrin‐enriched ...

Numerical Simulations of Fluid Flow and Heat Transfer through Aluminum and Copper Metal Foam Heat Exchanger – A Comparative Study

Heat Transfer Engineering, 2020
This article discusses about a numerical simulation of a metal foam heat exchanger system carried out by a commercial software. A metal foam layer is attached to the bottom of the heat exchanger to absorb heat from the exhaust hot gas leaving the system.

Heat Exchangers

2007
This chapter provides a review of the methods used in the thermal analysis of heat exchangers. Equipment used in double-pipe (hairpin), shell-and-tube, and plate heat exchangers is described. The overall heat-transfer coefficient, fouling factors, LMTD (logarithmic mean temperature difference) correction factor, and heat-exchanger effectiveness are ...

Fluoropolymer heat exchangers

Metal Finishing, 1995
Fluoropolymer heat exchangers are the only polymeric heat exchangers to offer thetemperature capabilities and corrosion resistance necessary to heat and cool acid- and caustic-based plating baths. They offer economical solutions to the problems of maintaining precise temperature control of baths for optimum product quality.

HEAT EXCHANGER FOR IN-GROUND HEAT STORAGE

Chemical Engineering Communications, 1980
The first phase of a research project using undisturbed soil for sensible heat storage is described. A laboratory scale model of a heat exchange system was constructed and tested. Thermal charging and recovery rates, modes of heat transport and transient temperature conditions, as well as over-all heat storage performance of the unit are given.
