The CG is formed along the shape of spikily etched particles, resulting in high sp

A series of waterborne polyurethane dispersions (WPUs) modified with hydroxyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) were prepared by incorporating PDMS into the soft segments of polyurethane chains. The structural characteristics of the prepared samples were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and particle size analysis (PSA). The effect of PDMS content on the thermal and mechanical properties of PDMS-modif
Abstract Electro‐ionic soft actuators, capable of continuous deformations replacing non‐compliant rigid mechanical components, attract increasing interest in the field of next‐generation metaverse interfaces and soft robotics. Here, a novel MXene (Ti 3 C 2 T x ) electrode anchoring manganese‐based 1,3,5‐benzenetricarboxylate metal‐organic framework (MnBTC) for ultrastable electro‐ionic artificial muscles is reported. By a facile supramolecular self‐assembly, the Ti 3 C 2 T x ‐MnBTC hybrid nanoar
Silicon has garnered significant attention as a promising anode material for high-energy density Li-ion batteries. However, Si can be easily pulverized during cycling, which results in the loss of electrical contact and ultimately shortens battery lifetime. Therefore, the Si anode binder is developed to dissipate the enormous mechanical stress of the Si anode with enhanced mechanical properties. However, the interfacial stability between the Si anode binder and Cu current collector should also b
To increase complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) device performance, new materials are introduced in the gate stack (high- dielectrics and metal gates) and the transistor channel (Ge, III-V materials). In this work we study the atomic layer deposition (ALD) of hafnium oxide on Ge and GaAs substrates. Passivation layers are required to achieve a sufficiently low interface state density, but these might also influence the growth behavior and dielectric quality. Therefore, we investigate
The effect of point defects on the performance of the Li 3 InCl 6 solid electrolyte is investigated, which indicates the formation of point defects, such as V Cl and In 4g , is effective in improving the Li-ion conductivity of Li 3 InCl 6 .
Spinel lithium manganese oxide (LiMn 2 O 4, LMO) is a promising cathode material with nontoxicity, high operating voltage, and low cost. However, structural collapse during battery cycling ─ caused by Mn dissolution and the Jahn–Teller effect ─ is a critical disadvantage, reducing cycle retention, particularly at high temperatures. In this study, to solve these critical issues, we introduce Cu 3 (HITP) 2 (CuHITP; HITP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexaiminotriphenylene), a conductive two-dimensional (2D) meta
Lithium-sulfur batteries are considered as attractive candidates for next-generation energy storage systems originating from their high theoretical capacity and energy density. However, the severe shuttling of behavior caused by the dissolution of lithium polysulfide intermediates during cycling remains a challenge for practical applications. Herein, porous carbon materials co-doped with nitrogen and sulfur atoms were prepared through a facile hydrothermal reaction of graphene oxide and methylen
Efficient resource management strategies are important for multiuser multimedia applications, as they are often serviced over resource-constrained and shared network infrastructure. Moreover, an acceptable level of quality e.g., Quality of Service (QoS) should be guaranteed. In this paper, we consider a game-theoretic resource management strategy, where the bargaining solutions are deployed in the resource allocation. We are in particular interested in the Nash Bargaining Solution (NBS) that can
