A novel poly(urethane-amide) (PUA) was designed using poly(ethylene adipate)tolylene2,4-diisocyanate, piperazine and polyol. Diglycidyl 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylate (DGCHD) and 4,4′-ethylenedianiline were used for blend formation. An original approach was adopted for the formation of organic nanoparticle (ONP) using r…

This paper presents position and vibration control of a flexible robot composed of two rigid and one flexible links. Position is controlled by the current applied to the DC motor armature. To control vibrations of the flexible structure, Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are used. Due to phase transformations, the SMA can cha…

Polycrystalline and epitaxial zinc nitride (Zn3N2) films were grown by a reactive rf-magnetron sputtering technique. Phase-pure films were grown but XPS results indicated that a small amount of oxygen exists within all Zn3N2–xOx films. We prove experimentally that substitutional O on the N site () can be treated as an…

Techniques to achieve planar anchoring of the director of a lyotropic chromonic liquid crystal (LCLC) have been developed only recently. These techniques range from the very weak anchoring achieved by simply scratching the glass with a very fine abrasive to the very strong anchoring achieved with lithographic techniqu…

Uniformly aligned liquid crystals (LCs) are of crucial importance in a practical application, such as displays, phase modulators and virtual reality devices. Although an alignment layer using polyimide-type polymers can almost perfectly align the LCs, polymer-stabilisation at the surface using pre-mixed monomers has b…

Abstract Studies on Co‐doped Ni–Mn–Ga ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) have been quite active topics in recent years. Unlike previous reports where the amount of Co doping was generally less than 8 at%, in this work Ni 55− x Co x Mn 20 Ga 25 (8.5 ≤ x ≤ 11.0) alloys were studied with high Co doping. Unusual ef…

Upconversion is a unique optical property that is driven by a sequential photon pumping and generation of higher energy photons in a consecutive manner. The efficiency improvement in photovoltaic devices can be achieved when upconverters are integrated since upconverters contribute to the generation of extra photons.…
