Graphene aerogels (GAs) are functionalized with Fe-Co-P alloy using an electro-deposition method. The Fe-Co-P alloy coated on the graphene nanosheets is found to possess an amorphous structure and a nanoporous architecture of GAs. The electro-mechanical properties of GAs are significantly affected by the Fe-Co-P nanoparticles embedded inside GAs. The electro-mechanical responses of GA/Fe-Co-P n...

Synergistically regulating carrier and phonon transport on the nanoscale is extremely difficult for all thermoelectric (TE) materials without cage structures. Herein BaFe12O19/Bi2Te25Se0.5 thermoelectromagnetic nanocomposites are designed synthesized as a benchmarking example to simultaneously tailor properties nanoscale. A magneto-trapped effect induced by BaFe12O19 hard-magnetic nanoparticles...

fabrication, characterization and application of micro-/nano-rods/wires are among the hottest topics in materials science and applied physics. micro-/nano-rod-based structures and devices are developed for a wide-ranging use in various fields of micro-/nanoscience (e.g. biology, electronics, medicine, optics, optoelectronics, photonics and sensors). it is well known that the structure and prope...

Visual acuity at a level of illumination comparable to overcast starlight was measured at various frequencies and amplitudes of vibration chosen to be representative of conditions aboard various ships. Measures were made with electro-optical scopes of four-power and one-power, standard Navy 7x50 binoculars, four-power field glasses, and the naked eye. Decrements in acuity under vibration were l...

In this work the longitudinal wave equation through magneto-electro-elastic circular rod is studied analytically. Painlevé test performed to check integrability of equation. Exact solitary solutions are found by homogeneous balance method and Tanh plotted using suitable values physical parameters. A solution similar an earlier related (Xue et al. in Smart Mater Struct 20:105010, 2011; Ma Int J ...

Nowadays, shape memory polymers (SMPs)-based devices are required to be much smarter produce large recovery and force with lower working temperatures in order enable multi-functionality them. They could play a vital role the advancement of multi-functional soft robot manipulators, biomedical tools wearable where is key challenge must around body temperature, or sustainable smart systems low ene...

In this paper, the general case of an anisotropic thermo-electro elastic body subjected to static biasing fields is considered. The biasing fields may be introduced by heat flux, body forces, external surface tractions, and electric fields. By introducing proper thermodynamic functions and employing variational principle for a thermo-electro elastic body, the nonlinear constitutive relations an...

The design of reliable micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) requires understanding of material properties of devices, especially for free-standing thin structures such as membranes, bridges, and cantilevers. The desired characterization system for obtaining mechanical properties of active materials often requires load control. However, there is no such device among the currently available to...
