The important role of the nanostructure of conductive network composite (CNC) layers on the performance of ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) transducer has been discussed detailedly. IPMC transducers exhibit both electromechanical and mechanoelectrical behaviors. When subjected to an external electric field, electromechanical behavior of IPMC transducers causes an actuation response which ca...

Nanosized metal oxides dispersed polymer composites constitute a fascinating class of polymer composite materials. Synthesis of such composite materials through solvent casting enhances the polymer synthetic technology. Solvent casting method was used to prepare Cobalt oxide (Co3O4) dispersed Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nano composite<span style="text-decoration: und...

Tribology of SU-8 polymer is increasingly relevant due to bursting use of this material in a variety of applications. This study is directed towards introduction and investigation of a novel self-lubricating composite of an ionic liquid (IL) in SU-8. The new material can be utilized for fabrication of lubricating polymer coating with tunable surface properties or SU8-made elements for microelec...
