Adhesive Double‐Network Granular Organogel E‐Skin

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
We introduce a double‐network granular organogel adhesive for electronic skin, overcoming adhesion and strength trade‐offs. It provides reversible, robust bonding and ionic conductivity, enabling wearable and soft robotic e‐skin. Thanks to the e‐skin adhesive, a soft robotic trunk can recognize touch, temperature, humidity, and acidity.

Reciprocating engines [PDF]

open access: yes, 1981
An intake valve arrangement for positively controlling the opening and closing of the poppet valve in a hot gas cylinder in a hydrazine powered engine is described. The poppet valve is operated by the piston and gas pressure only. The poppet valve uses a

On the adiabatic properties of a stochastic adiabatic wall: Evolution, stationary non-equilibrium, and equilibrium states

open access: yes, 1999
The time evolution of the adiabatic piston problem and the consequences of its stochastic motion are investigated. The model is a one dimensional piston of mass $M$ separating two ideal fluids made of point particles with mass $m\ll M$.

Solar engine [PDF]

open access: yes, 1982
A solar engine is disclosed in which a fluid, which is first heated and then cooled, forces a piston outward as the fluid is heated, and then draws the piston inward as the fluid is cooled. The piston is connected to a shaft and produces work as it moves

Molecular Simulation of Functionalized Covalent Organic Framework Membranes for Inorganic Salt Separation

open access: yesAdvanced Theory and Simulations, EarlyView.
Six functionalized TpPa‐based covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are characterized using nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to assess water permeance and salt rejection. The TpPa‐SO3H COF membrane achieves the highest sodium sulfate rejection (>98%) while maintaining relatively high water permeance compared to commercial nanofiltration ...
