Characteristics, properties and limitations of per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoropolymers

Polymer International, EarlyView.
An overview and categorization of man‐made per‐ or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) including low‐molar‐mass and high‐molar‐mass fluorochemicals, and their international regulations is presented. Though certain PFASs are toxic, bioaccumulative and cross the human cellular membranes, others, such as fluoropolymers, are safe, reliable and involved in ...

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Highly Dynamic Soft Electrohydraulic Origami Actuators for Agile and Multimodal Robotic Locomotion

SmartBot, EarlyView.
Most current soft robots still lag far behind their natural counterparts in both agility and speed, mainly attributed to the limited morphing modes and performance of soft actuators. Here, the authors report a new methodology of electrohydraulic origami (EHO) for creating powerful and multimodal soft actuators with large strain, high speed, lightweight,

Record‐Low Compressibility in [N(C2H5)3CH3]FeCl4 Expands Phase Engineering Horizons in Hybrid Molecular Ferroelectrics

Small, EarlyView.
High‐pressure studies of the lead‐free hybrid organic–inorganic ferroelectric [N(C2H5)3CH3]FeCl4 demonstrate record low compressibility, establishing it as the least compressible molecular ferroelectric known. In situ diamond anvil cell experiments identify halide selection and inorganic sublattice tuning as key compressibility controls, advancing ...

Dual potential capacity model for short and deep reinforced concrete members containing steel fibers

Structural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract This study presents an analytical model for estimating the shear strength of short and deep steel fiber‐reinforced concrete (SFRC) members with a shear span‐to‐depth ratio less than 2.5. To this end, a dual potential capacity model (DPCM) is developed based on the demand‐capacity approach for evaluating the shear strength of SFRC beams that ...

Three-level neutral-point-clamped matrix converter topology [PDF]

Matrix converter is a direct AC-AC converter topology that is able to directly convert energy from an AC source to an AC load without the need of a bulky and limited lifetime energy storage element. Due to the significant advantages offered by matrix converter, such as adjustable power factor, capability of regeneration and high quality sinusoidal ...
