Patterned Colouring via Variable-Speed Single Stretching
We demonstrate a cost-effective, highly reliable/stable and environmentally friendly approach for the patterned colouring of a commercial transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET). We show that different colour patterns (transparent, white/translucent,

Electrospun Fiber as a Facile Means of Studying Silver Nanowires under Mechanical Stretching
It is a great challenge to study the mechanical property of nanomaterials because it is difficult to get a hold of them and apply force. A convenient alternative method via electrospun fibers is shown, where silica‐coated fivefold twinned silver ...

Force induced stretching of polymers is important in a variety of contexts. We have used theory and simulations to describe the response of homopolymers, with $N$ monomers, to force ($f$) in good and poor solvents. In good solvents and for {{sufficiently

Stable incremental deformation of a strip to high strain [PDF]
This paper presents the effect of combined stretching and bending on the achieved strain in\ud incremental sheet forming ISF. A simple two dimensional model of strip undergoing stretching and\ud travelling three point bending in cyclic form is used.

AIM: Rate of force development (RFD) of the leg extensor muscles is important for jumping performance. Static stretching has been shown to reduce explosive force generation, but little is known regarding changes in muscle architectural characteristics ...

Stretching an heteropolymer [PDF]
We study the influence of some quenched disorder in the sequence of monomers on the entropic elasticity of long polymeric chains. Starting from the Kratky-Porod model, we show numerically that some randomness in the favoured angles between successive ...

AIM: Τhe mechanisms underpinning long-term changes in muscle architectural characteristics and joint range of motion (ROM) following static stretching in humans remain under question, and data are sparse for growing athletes. It is possible that the
