This work investigates a unique technique to join aluminum (Al) and magnesium (Mg) alloys carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites without the use of adhesives or mechanical fasteners. The joints were made using an overcasting where molten cast around high pressure die casting method. Rapid cooling during allowed composite be embedded inside metal causing any gross damage former even t...

A dynamic, physics-based model is presented for ionic polymer–metal composite (IPMC) sensors. The model is an infinite-dimensional transfer function relating the short-circuit sensing current to the applied deformation. It is obtained by deriving the exact solution to the governing partial differential equation (PDE) for the sensing dynamics, where the effect of distributed surface resistance i...

In this paper, model-based precision force and position control of an ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) is presented. A 23.8 mm×3.4 mm×0.16 mm IPMC strip was used as an actuator in a cantilever configuration. Open-loop force and position responses of an IPMC are not repeatable, and hence closed-loop precision control is of critical importance to ensure proper functioning, repeatability and r...

Water-soluble metal-binding polymers in combination with ultrafiltration are shown to be an effective method for selectively removing dilute actinide ions from acidic solutions of high ionic strength, The actinirte-binding properties of commercially available water-soluble polymers and several polymers which have been repotted in the literature were evrduated, The functional groups incorporated...

In this study, we added polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a composite polymer to PEO based SPEs, with varied amount of LiOH addition. The homogeneous solution was cast form thin and transparent SPE membrane. Characterization by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) revealed the semi-crystalline properties all samples. Ionic conductivity SPEs composites determined through AC impedance measurement using Electrochemic...
