Bio‐Friendly Artificial Muscles Based on Carbon Nanotube Yarns and Eutectogel Derivatives
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Solid‐state artificial muscles based on coiled commercial carbon nanotube yarns coated with eutectogel derivatives exhibit unipolar actuation through selective ion intercalation. Combining polyanionic and polycationic gels enables enhanced contractile stroke and high energy density.

To Control Bead Size Distribution in Suspension Polymerization [PDF]
علوم و تکنولوژی پلیمر, 2008 Suspension polymerization processes are significantly important in polymer bead formation. One of the important factors for bead size control in these processes is variation in surface tension. In this research, the prediction of optimum concentration of

Magnetophoresis of Nonmagnetic, Submicrometer Particles in Magnetic Fluids [PDF]
, 2004 We studied the migration of nonmagnetic, submicrometer polystyrene beads submerged in a magnetic fluid in the presence of nonuniform magnetic fields as a potential method for size-based separation of submicrometer, nonmagnetic species.

Low-cost optical manipulation using hanging droplets of PDMS [PDF]
, 2015 We propose and demonstrate a low-cost optical micromanipulation system that makes use of simple microfrabricated components coupled to a smartphone camera for imaging. Layering hanging droplets of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) on microscope coverslips, and

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.3D porous carbons with tunable density are crucial for energy storage, separations, and load‐bearing applications; however, their fabrication is often constrained by shrinkage during pyrolysis. This study optimizes and demonstrates the versatility of a template–coating pair strategy, producing materials that largely retain their shape and hierarchical ...

Holographic aberration correction: optimising the stiffness of an optical trap deep in the sample [PDF]
, 2011 We investigate the effects of 1st order spherical aberration and defocus upon the stiffness of an optical trap tens of μm into the sample. We control both these aberrations with a spatial light modulator. The key to maintain optimum trap stiffness over a

Multifunctional Microstructured Surfaces by Microcontact Printing of Reactive Microgels
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Reactive poly(N‐vinylcaprolactam‐co‐glycidyl methacrylate) microgels are used as functional inks to create surface‐grafted arrays on glass via microcontact printing. The patterns (10–50 µm widths and spacings) enable stable binding and post‐functionalization with dyes and peptides.

Human Blood Cell Sensing with Platinum Black Electroplated Impedance Sensor [PDF]
, 2007 AC impedance sensing is an important method for biological cell analysis in flow cytometry. For micro impedance cell sensors, downsizing electrodes increases the double layer impedance of the metal-electrolyte interface, thus leaves no sensing zone in ...
