Effects of Hydration on the Mechanical Properties of Salt-Doped Poly(methyl methacrylate)

Molecules
The mechanical performance of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is highly sensitive to moisture absorption, which induces plasticization and softening. In this study, we investigated the ductilization mechanism of PMMA by incorporating various metal salts

The formation, properties and impact of secondary organic aerosol: current and emerging issues [PDF]

, 2009
Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) accounts for a significant fraction of ambient tropospheric aerosol and a detailed knowledge of the formation, properties and transformation of SOA is therefore required to evaluate its impact on atmospheric processes ...

Skin‐Like Tri‐Modal Sensors Based on Soft Piezoelectric and Ionic Composites

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Inspired by the multimodal perception of human skin, a soft, skin‐like tri‐modal sensor is presented. The device incorporates an ionically conductive, piezoelectric, elastic composite as its active layer, enabling independent detection of temperature, static strain, and dynamic strain within a single two‐terminal architecture.
