Photo‐Switching Thermal and Lithium‐Ion Conductivity in Azobenzene Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Light‐responsive azobenzene polymers control thermal and ionic transport simultaneously through structural transitions. UV illumination disrupts π–π stacking, converting crystalline trans states to amorphous cis configurations. Thermal conductivity drops from 0.45 to 0.15 W·m−1·K−1 while Li+ diffusivity increases 100 fold. This dual transport switching

Reconfigurable Smart Antennas

open access: yes
Antennas are essential and crucial components of radar and wireless communication systems, but sometimes their inability to adapt to new operating conditions can hamper system performance. These limitations can be mitigated or eliminated, and reconfigurable antennas can bring new levels of functionality to any system by enabling it to modify its ...

Wireless lans with smart antennas

open access: yes, 2005
ABSTRACT Smart antenna systems not only enable users to have high quality links but also increase network throughput by allowing spatial reuse of wireless channels by the use of directional transmission. However performance of smart antenna systems is limited because of the increased hidden terminal problem and deafness of nodes.

4D Printing of Self‐Immolative Polymers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The integration of self‐immolative polymers (SIPs) into light‐based 3D printed structures is presented as a new “living” 4D printing strategy. By exploiting their metastability and stimuli‐responsiveness, SIP‐containing printed objects can undergo rapid and triggered degrowth under ambient conditions and subsequent regrowth through polymer ...
