Electroactive Liquid Crystal Elastomers as Soft Actuators
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Electroactive liquid crystal elastomers (eLCEs) can be actuated via electromechanical, electrochemical, or electrothermal effects. a) Electromechanical effects include Maxwell stress, electrostriction, and the electroclinic effect. b) Electrochemical effects arise from electrode redox reactions.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Trap state engineering in inverted organic photodetectors (OPDs) is achieved via combined layer‐by‐layer (LbL) processing and poly(N‐vinylcarbazole) (PVK) incorporation. LbL reduces the trap density while PVK additives gradually shift trap states from shallow band‐edge to deep mid‐gap levels, tailoring the energy distribution.

Ingestion of microplastics during chewing gum consumption
Journal of Hazardous Materials LettersChewing gums typically contain plant-based or synthetic plastic polymers to improve their texture and flavor retention. These polymer fragments or microplastics can be released into the environment when disposed of improperly or ingested while chewing ...

A polystyrene-water calorimeter [PDF]
The International Journal of Applied Radiation and Isotopes, 1983 The paper describes a new type of calorimeter that can be quickly put into operation for determining absorbed dose at a point in polystyrene. It also describes a unique method of decreasing drifts in electrical signals caused by temperature gradients. Two calibrated thermistors were placed close together between sandwiched polystyrene discs that were ...

Mechanotransducing Organic Electrochemical Diode for Crosstalk‐Inhibited Artificial Skin
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An innovative approach is presented to a stretchable mechanotransducing diode that unifies rectification and tactile‐sensing functionality. This approach enables to fabricate the diode that maintains a large rectification ratio (5 × 102) at a high operational frequency (100 Hz).
