Influence of Alkoxy Chain Length on the Properties of Two-Dimensionally Expanded Azulene-Core-Based Hole-Transporting Materials for Efficient Perovskite Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Shaik Mohammed Zakeeruddin, Jiyoun Seo

A series of two-dimensionally expanded azulenecore- based pi systems have been synthesized with different alkyl chain lengths in the alkoxy moieties connected to the partially oxygen-bridged triarylamine skeletons. The thermal, photophysical, and electroni ...

A Sustainable Approach to Produce Stiff, Super-Tough, and Heat-Resistant Poly(lactic acid)-Based Green Materials

Nicolas Candau, Oguzhan Oguz

Circumventing inherent embrittlement, poor heat resistance, and melt elasticity of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) without compromising its remarkable stiffness and strength has become a particular challenge in polymer science due to increasing demand for green ma ...

2G/3G Serpentine Shape Inverted-F Antenna for Near Body Application

Anja Skrivervik, Nuno Miguel Faria Pires, Mirmehdi Seyyedesfahlan

In this contribution, we present a miniature antenna placed in a leg bracelet for body worn applications. It operates in both the 820-960 MHz and the 1.7-2.1 GHz bands. The radiating element, based on an inverted-F antenna, occupies a 37 mm × 37 mm area an ...

Hierarchical porous structure

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio

Cellular thermoplastic structures with hierarchical multi-scale porosity (preferably 1-300 µm micro-porosity to 0.3-10 mm macro-porosity) are produced from an integrated approach of 3D printing, preferably by Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and of supercr ...

Strategies for faster impregnation in melt thermoplastic resin transfer molding process

Damiano Salvatori

Continuous fiber thermoplastic composites are potential substitutes of steel in structural automotive components, since they combine fiber strength and rigidity with ductility, potential recyclability and low density of the thermoplastic (TP) matrix. Resin ...

Morphology and interfacial strength of nonisothermally fusion bonded hard and soft thermoplastics

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Rajasundar Chandran

Nonisothermally fusion bonded butt joints were prepared by overmolding thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) onto isotactic polypropylene (iPP) inserts in order to investigate the effect of processing conditions on the bond strength and interfacial microstructur ...

Functional composites with damage control and repair

Amaël Maximilien Cohades

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composite structures are subjected during service to low energy impacts or unexpected loads, leading to damage. Microcracks are generally first formed in the matrix and can reach up to several hundred microns in thickness. In ...

Improved mechanical dispersion or use of coupling agents? Advantages and disadvantages for the properties of fluoropolymer/ceramic composites

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Dragan Damjanovic, Sara Dalle Vacche

The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of interfacial chemistry on the properties of fluoropolymer composites, independent of effects derived from changes in morphology, in particular particle dispersion state. A comparative study of solvent ...
