Bonding of Acrylic Pressure‐Sensitive Adhesives and Silicone Elastomers via Surfactant‐Assisted Plasma Activation for Soft Robotics

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
A simple strategy is presented for bonding acrylic PSAs and silicone elastomers by curing surfactant‐doped Ecoflex on oxygen‐plasma‐treated VHB. The interface reaches a maximum strength of 1.6 N/mm (over 20 times that of the control) while retaining material compliance.

Experimental Investigation of the Relationship Between Vibration Acceleration and Bearing Capacity for Space Exploration Legged Rovers

Geotechnics
In the exploration missions for Mars and the Moon, rovers with legs as mobility mechanisms are necessitated owing to their high mobility. However, the surface of Mars and the Moon is loose, leading the rovers to slip by virtue of the ground easily ...

Magnetized magma intrusions being sources of a weak and a strong lunar magnetic anomaly revealed by 3D distribution of magnetization

Earth and Planetary Physics
In this work, we aim to investigate the origin of the magnetic carriers in the lunar crust and the intensity of the ancient dynamo field. The magnetization and depth range of magnetic carriers are studied under a weak and a strong magnetic anomaly in ...
