Designing Ionic Conductive Elastomers Using Hydrophobic Networks and Hydrophilic Salt Hydrates with Improved Stability in Air

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, 2023
Existing soft ionic conductors fall into two distinct categories: liquid‐rich ionic conductors containing large amounts of liquid electrolytes (≈70–90 wt.% water for hydrogels and ≈20–80 wt.% ionic liquids for ionogels), and liquid‐free ionic conductors ...

On Soft Power Diagrams

open access: yesJournal of Mathematical Modelling and Algorithms in Operations Research, 2014
Many applications in data analysis begin with a set of points in a Euclidean space that is partitioned into clusters. Common tasks then are to devise a classifier deciding which of the clusters a new point is associated to, finding outliers with respect to the clusters, or identifying the type of clustering used for the partition.
