Electroactive Polymers for Robotic Application: Artificial Muscles and Sensors

Electroactive polymers (EAPs) reply to electric stimulation with huge deformations. they're dynamic actuators that have attracted recognition from an interdisciplinary viewers of engineers and scientists. An permitting EAP expertise is rising which makes an attempt to mimic the houses of traditional muscle and which, for this reason, can practice a special functionality in quite a few biologically-inspired robotics functions.

Self-Organized Surfactant Structures

Highlighting contemporary advancements in addition to destiny demanding situations, this sequence of volumes covers such issues as emulsions, nano-emulsions, nano-dispersions and novel options for his or her research. It additionally considers the elemental procedure in parts equivalent to managed liberate, drug supply and diverse functions of nanotechnology.

Thermal Methods of Polymer Analysis

This publication reports some of the thermal tools used for the characterisation of polymer houses and composition. these types of tools examine the homes of polymers as they modify with temperature. The equipment mentioned during this e-book are: differential photocalorimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, dielectric thermal research, differential thermal research, dynamic mechanical research, advanced fuel research, gasoline chromatography, fuel chromatography mixed with mass spectrometry, mass spectrometry, microthermal research, thermal volatilisation, thermogravimetric research and thermomechanical research.

This may be attributed to the nature of the fibers, since flax and hemp are fibrous, whereas wood fiber is more flake-like in nature, with an irregular size and shape. The type and nature of lignocellulose fibers (chemical composition and structure) is of paramount importance in the development of polymer composites. It is shown that different fibers behave differently depending on treatment. On the other hand, reactions of cellulose with cyclic anhydrides have also been performed [43]. Reactions involving cyclic anhydrides generally do not result in the formation of byproducts and reactions can be performed with milder solvents, which don’t interfere with the cell wall structure of cellulose.
