Bilayer solvent and vapor-triggered actuators made of cross-linked polymer architectures via Diels–Alder pathways†
Bilayer solvent and vapor-triggered actuators made of cross-linked polymer architectures via Diels–Alder pathways† Antoniya Toncheva, Bertrand Willocq, Farid Khelifa, Olivier Douheret, Pierre Lambert, Philippe Dubois and Jean-Marie Raquez Abstract : A simple and straightforward approach to produce solvent and vapor-based actuating materials is developed in this work. These actuators are based on rigidity gradients created […]
Ultra-stretchable ionic nanocomposites: from dynamic bonding to multi-responsive behavior
Ultra-stretchable ionic nanocomposites: from dynamic bonding to multi-responsive behavior J. Odent, J.-M. Raquez, Ph. Dubois and E. P. Giannelis Abstract : Although multi-responsive materials have the potential to revolutionize a wide spectrum of technologies, the design of systems that combine a range of responses to a variety of different external changes without the associated property […]
Multiresponsive Shape Memory Blends and Nanocomposites Based on Starch
Multiresponsive Shape Memory Blends and Nanocomposites Based on Starch Sessini V, Raquez JM, Lo Re G, Mincheva R, Kenny JM, Dubois P, Peponi L Abstract : Smart multiresponsive bionanocomposites with both humidity- and thermally activated shape-memory effects, based on blends of ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) and thermoplastic starch (TPS) are designed. Thermo- and humidity-mechanical cyclic experiments […]
Healing by the Joule effect of electrically conductive poly(ester-urethane)/carbon nanotube nanocomposites†
Healing by the Joule effect of electrically conductive poly(ester-urethane)/carbon nanotube nanocomposites† B. Willocq, R. K. Bose, F. Khelifa, S. J. Garcia, Ph. Dubois and J.-M. Raquez Abstract : Recent demands for polymers with autonomous self-healing properties are being constantly raised due to the need for high-performance and reliable materials. So far, the advances in this […]
