In this paper, endurance of peristaltic linear pneumatic actuators was studied using different hose geometries. Towards goal, geometries were additively manufactured Fused Layer Manufacturing techniques Thermoplastic Polyurethane Elastomer. Material properties the elastomer Differential Scanning Calorimetry and tensile test. The relations between sample’s print temperature build direction on ac...

Renewable polymers with excellent stretchability and self-healing ability are interesting for a wide range of applications. A novel type wholly biobased, self-healing, polyamide-based thermoplastic elastomer was synthesized using fatty dimer acid amine, both containing multiple alkyl chains, through facile one-pot condensation polymerization under different times. The resulting shows superior (...
