The paper deals with the application of haptic technology when improving manual skills of people with specific disorders, such Down syndrome, mental retardation, etc. The development of a cutting haptic system is the base of this paper to show specificity of the development and verification of hardware for the given group of handicapped users. The cutting operation is performed using a hot wire...

The selection of insulation material and the determination optimal thickness are very important for saving energy ensuring thermal comfort. There numerous studies in literature determining optimum thickness. In these studies, conductivity coefficient (k) is taken directly from standardized tables calculated. real applications, k value varies depending on production conditions, density temperatu...

This study focuses on the development of a theoretical and experimental acoustic method setup for studying micropolar behavior materials. Two types low density closed-cell foams made from polystyrene (expanded extruded) materials that were previously reported as exhibiting non-classical elastodynamic investigated in order to reveal particular comportment using waves. different transducers emplo...

In this work, we investigated a simple one-step process for the formation of chemical bonds between multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and benzyl-type side chain radicals generated by UV photolysis of polystyrene derivatives containing the chloromethyl (–CH2Cl) group. Poly(4-chloromethyl)styrene, or styrene/4-(chloromethyl)styrene random copolymer, was mixed with MWCNTs in 1-methyl-2-pyrrol...
