Macroscale double networks: highly dissipative soft composites

Morphing soft magnetic composites.

Magnet filler-polymer matrix composites (Magpol) are an emerging class of morphing materials. Applications of Magpol can include artificial muscles, drug delivery, adaptive optics and self healing structures. Advantages of Magpol include remote contactless actuation, several actuation modes, high actuation strain and strain rate, self-sensing and quick response. The actuation modes of Magpol, i...

A splitting scheme for highly dissipative Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics

Smoothed Dissipative Particle Dynamics (SDPD) is a novel coarse-grained mesoscopic method for the simulation of complex fluids representing the effect of microscopic scales by a stochastic process. It has some advantages over more traditional particle-based methods but, on the other hand, shares some problems common to particle-based simulations of microfluidic systems. In particular a prohibit...

Macroscale Plasmonic Substrates for Highly Sensitive Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering**

Soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous structures

The purpose of this paper is to introduce the concept of soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order. Firstly, we give the definition of soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order. Secondly, we induce a soft double fuzzy topology from a given soft double fuzzy semi-topogenous order by using soft double fuzzy interior operator.

Interfacial treatment effects on behavior of soft nano-composites for highly stretchable dielectrics

We investigate the influence of interfacial treatment on the matrix-filler interaction using a meltmixing process to fabricate robust and highly stretchable dielectrics. Silicone oil and silane coupling agent are studied as possible solutions to enhance the compatibility between the inorganic fillers and polymer matrix. Morphology, thermomechanical and dielectric behavior of the prepared specim...
