Microstructured Electrode‐Piezopolymer Interface for Ultrasound Transducers With Enhanced Flexibility and Acoustic Performance

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Flexible piezopolymer ultrasound transducers are engineered by tailoring the electrode–piezopolymer interface using metallic, flake‐based, and porous graphene electrodes. Laser‐induced graphene's porous structure enables polymer infiltration, strengthening interfacial coupling and enhancing piezoelectric response and acoustic output.

Regulating Small and Medium Sized Enterprises

Journal of Environmental Law, 2002
In industrialised economies, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) form a major proportion of businesses and give rise to a substantial proportion of total industrial pollution. Yet the inherent nature of these businesses presents a substantial policy challenge in all jurisdictions, especially for overstretched regulatory agencies.
