The Fe3O4@SiO2 composite nanoparticles were obtained from as-synthesized magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles through the modified Stöber method. Then, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles and Fe3O4@SiO2 composite nanoparticles were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectra, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Recently, the studies focus on how to im...

A biophysically based multilayer continuum model of the facial soft tissue composite has been developed for simulating wrinkle formation. The deformed state of the soft tissue block was determined by solving large deformation mechanics equations using the Galerkin finite element method. The proposed soft tissue model is composed of four layers with distinct mechanical properties. These include ...

SiO2-coated Cobalt Ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles were obtained by the hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate in the presence of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles in co-precipitation. The effects of SiO2coating on the magnetic properties of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were investigated. The structural, morphological and magne...

Due to the importance effect of magnetic field on the history of long-term radial and circumfer-ential creep strain and radial displacement for a three-phase nano-composite exposed to an internal pressure and placed uniform temperature, the present article subject has been pro-posed. Three-phase nano-composite made of single-walled carbon nano tubes (SWCNTs)/ glass fiber (GF)/vinylester used to...

Nanocomposites containing soft and hard magnetic phases have attracted immense attention for energy-related and biomedical applications. With exchange coupling between nanoscale grains in the composites, magnetization of the soft magnetic phase can rotate coherently with that of the hard magnetic phase. In particular, good control of the soft and hard phases at the nanoscale in the composites i...

In this study, Sendust (Fe85Si9.6Al5.4) nanostructure alloy was prepared bymechanical alloying and was characterized by X-ray diffraction. In addition, the alloy’smorphology and its distribution particle size were investigated by scanning electronmicroscopy method. The alloyed powders were insulated with 4wt% of three differentinsulating materials including polyvinyl alc...

Actuation of rotational motion in machines and robotics is generally achieved through highly engineered mechanical or polymer, VeroWhite (VW), and a soft elastomeric material, TangoPlus (TP), are used. The transparent soft matrix is electromechanical devices. As the field of soft robotics develops, there is an emerging and expanding need for novel actuation mechanisms. Here, we show the ability...
