Simulating soft matter systems such as the cytoskeleton can enable deep understanding of experimentally observed phenomena. One challenge modelling is realistic description steric repulsion between nearby polymers. Previous models polymeric excluded volume interaction have deficit being non-analytic, computationally expensive, or allowing polymers to erroneously cross each other. A recent solut...

The area of flexible perceptual devices based on thermo-responsive polymers has evolved into a highly interdisciplinary field research. Recent advances in polymer fabrication, specifically supramolecular structure, composites, metamaterial, etc., have made major contributions the development materials. programmable characteristics these materials endow them with capability to logically integrat...

Abstract. Flexible free standing polymer electrolyte films have been successfully prepared using a blend of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) and poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) doped with lithium perchlorate (LiClO4). The conductivity of the film was influenced by salt concentration and the degree of crystallinity. An optimum room temperature conductivity obtained was 2.10...
