Sesame Opens: a Precursor to Human Asteroid Missions
A common path for human spaceflight is currently often envisioned to lead to Near Earth Asteroids (NEA) within the next decades. While the goal is clear this is not so true for the targets. Just as unmanned probes investigated the lunar surface before humans ever set foot on our natural satellite, it is advisable – considering the current lack of knowledge about NEAs even mandatory – to send an...
متن کاملMicrofabricating conjugated polymer actuators.
Conjugated polymer actuators can be operated in aqueous media, which makes them attractive for laboratories-on-a-chip and applications under physiological conditions. One of the most stable conjugated polymers under these conditions is polypyrrole, which can be patterned by means of standard photolithography. Polypyrrole-gold bilayer actuators that bend out of the plane of the wafer have been m...
متن کاملTemperature-memory polymer actuators.
Reading out the temperature-memory of polymers, which is their ability to remember the temperature where they were deformed recently, is thus far unavoidably linked to erasing this memory effect. Here temperature-memory polymer actuators (TMPAs) based on cross-linked copolymer networks exhibiting a broad melting temperature range (ΔT(m)) are presented, which are capable of a long-term temperatu...
متن کاملActive Polymer Gel Actuators
Many kinds of stimuli-responsive polymer and gels have been developed and applied to biomimetic actuators or artificial muscles. Electroactive polymers that change shape when stimulated electrically seem to be particularly promising. In all cases, however, the mechanical motion is driven by external stimuli, for example, reversing the direction of electric field. On the other hand, many living ...
متن کاملConjugated Polymer Actuators
CONJUGATED POLYMER ACTUATORS AND SENSORS: MODELING, CONTROL, AND APPLICATIONS By Yang Fang Conjugated polymers are soft actuation and sensing materials with promising applications in biomedical devices and micromanipulation systems. However, their sophisticated electro-chemo-mechanical dynamics and nonlinear behaviors present significant challenges in such applications. This dissertation is foc...
