Biothermal Sensing of a Torsional Artificial Muscle
(Royal Soc Chemistry, 2016-01-25)
Biomolecule responsive materials have been studied intensively for use in biomedical applications as smart systems because of their unique property of responding to specific biomolecules under mild conditions. However, ...
Enhancement of Electromagnetic Interference Shielding Effectiveness with Alignment of Spinnable Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018-10-23)
This research develops a unique material to attenuate electromagnetic interference (EMI) by using spinnable multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) combined with bio-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) that contains BaTiO₃ (MBPBT). ...
Harvesting Electrical Energy from Torsional Thermal Actuation Driven by Natural Convection
The development of practical, cost-effective systems for the conversion of low-grade waste heat to electrical energy is an important area of renewable energy research. We here demonstrate a thermal energy harvester that ...
Bio-Inspired, Moisture-Powered Hybrid Carbon Nanotube Yarn Muscles
Hygromorph artificial muscles are attractive as self-powered actuators driven by moisture from the ambient environment. Previously reported hygromorph muscles have been largely limited to bending or torsional motions or ...
Highly Stretchable Hybrid Nanomembrane Supercapacitors
(2016-03-04)
Supercapacitors that are lightweight, mechanically deformable (stretchable, flexible) and electrochemically stable have potential for various applications like portable, wearable, and implantable electronics. Here we ...
Shape-Engineerable Composite Fibers and Their Supercapacitor Application
(RSC Pub, 2016-01-12)
Due to excellent electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nano materials, it is of great interest to fabricate flexible, high conductive, and shape engineered carbon based fibers. As part of these approaches, hollow, ...
