Contour-Variable Model of Constitutive Equations for Polymer Melts
Based on a modified expression of the rate of the convective constraint release, we present a new contour-variable model of constitutive equations in which the non-uniform segmental stretch and the non-Gaussian chain statistical treatment of the single chain are considered to describe the polymer chain dynamics and the rheological behavior of an entangled system composed of linear polymer chain...
متن کاملVolume equalized constitutive equations for foamed polymer solutions
In order to develop a constitutive equation for foamed polymer solutions their flow behavior was investigated in a large-scale vertical tube. Starting from theoretical considerations, two new constitutive equations are proposed. A new variable+the specif;c t&me expansion mti+is introduced to characterize the relative gas content of the foam. With the new variable the proposed constitutive equat...
متن کاملAn electroactive polymer energy harvester for wireless sensor networks
This paper reports the design, fabrication, and testing of a soft electroactive polymer power generator that has a volume of 1cm. The generator provides an opportunity to harvest energy from environmental sources to power wireless sensor networks because it can harvest from low frequency motions, is compact, and lightweight. Electroactive polymers are highly stretchable variable capacitors. Ele...
متن کاملElectroactive Polymer Actuator design for space applications
In order to achieve a distributed actuation in robotics and automation a novel soft actuator technology is being sought worldwide. One of the candidate technologies is based on Electroactive Polymers (EAP). The research to be done in the field of EAP actuators should cover four issues: material improvement, characterization and modeling, actuator design, and applications simulation. Advances on...
متن کاملElectroactive polymer-peptide conjugates for adhesive biointerfaces.
Electroactive polymer-peptide conjugates have been synthesized by combining poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene), a polythiophene derivative with outstanding properties, and an Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD)-based peptide in which Gly has been replaced by an exotic amino acid bearing a 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene ring in the side chain. The incorporation of the peptide at the ends of preformed PEDOT chains has b...
