Polysiloxanes as supports for catalysts
Introduction Immobilization (heterogenization) of catalysts aims to obtain catalysts which combine the advantages of homogeneous catalysts (high activity, selectivity) and heterogeneous ones (stability, ease of separation from the reaction medium and the possibility of re-use in subsequent reaction cycles). One of the most promising directions of research in this field is the use of polymers as...
متن کاملLiquid Crystalline Elastomers as Artificial Muscles
We find that low molecular weight liquid crystalline cooperative effects acting over length scales larger than the typical mesh size of a liquid single crystalline elastomer {LSCE), controls the elastomer shape. This result provides a “proof of concept” for the novel suggestion of de Gennes et al. that LSCEs may be used as temperature activated artificial muscles.
متن کاملEAP as Artificial Muscles - Progress and Challenges
During the last decade and a half new polymers have emerged that respond to electrical stimulation with a significant shape or size change. This capability of electroactive polymer (EAP) materials is attracting the attention of engineers and scientists from many different disciplines. Practitioners in biomimetics are particularly excited about these materials since the artificial muscle aspect ...
متن کاملPrepration and Characterization of Novel Ionoic Polymers to be Used as Artificial Muscles
The muscle-like technology would be of enormous advantages for biomedical applications such as medical implants and human assist devices. Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are one kind of biomimetic actuators. An ionic polymer metal composite composed from an ionomer with high ion exchange capacity that packed between two thin metal layers. In the present study we focused on the prep...
متن کاملLinear artificial molecular muscles.
Two switchable, palindromically constituted bistable [3]rotaxanes have been designed and synthesized with a pair of mechanically mobile rings encircling a single dumbbell. These designs are reminiscent of a "molecular muscle" for the purposes of amplifying and harnessing molecular mechanical motions. The location of the two cyclobis(paraquat-p-phenylene) (CBPQT(4+)) rings can be controlled to b...
