Nematic opto-mechanical actuators for the fabrication of refreshable tactile systems
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Nematic elastomers are promising materials for the fabrication of actuators due to their ability to reversibly contract and expand during phase transitions triggered by external stimuli. We present a refreshable tactile ...
Mechanical, sorption and adhesive properties of composites based on low density polyethylene filled with date palm wood powder
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2014 , Article)
Low density polyethylene (LDPE) was blended with date palm wood powder (DPW) to prepare composites with concentrations of filler ranging from 10 to 70. wt.%. The Youn?s modulus of the composites significantly increased ...
Unconventional experimental technologies used for phase change materials (PCM) characterization: Part 2 - Morphological and structural characterization, physico-chemical stability and mechanical properties
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2015 , Article)
Due to the high interest of appropriate characterization of PCM and hybrid PCM composites, different research centres and universities are using several material characterization techniques not commonly used with PCM, to ...
