Abstract

Market trends and consumer demands for enhanced ergonomic feel and touch, grippability, aesthetics, cushioning against impact, vibration isolation and insulation have driven novel developments in thermoplastic elastomers for overmolding applications. Principles of adhering soft elastomer to a rigid substrate as well as utilizing novel thermoplastic elastomers for various overmolding applications are detailed in this paper.

Abstract

Within materials science, the optical properties of carbon nanotubes refer specifically to photoluminescence, and Raman spectroscopy of carbon nanotubes. Spectroscopic methods offer the possibility of quick and non-destructive characterization of relatively large amounts of carbon nanotubes. There is a strong demand for such characterization from the industrial point of view: numerous parameters of the nanotube synthesis can be changed, intentionally or unintentionally, to alter the nanotube quality. As shown below, optical absorption, photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopies allow quick and reliable characterization of this "nanotube quality" in terms of non-tubular carbon content, structure (chirality) of the produced nanotubes, and structural defects. Those features determine nearly any other properties such as optical, mechanical, and electrical properties.

Abstract

In modern advancement of electronics world leads the research community towards the printed version of all the devices, which is known as flexible electronics. In this paper we will describe the way to “print” devices directly onto the skin so people can wear them for an extended period while performing normal daily activities. Such systems could be used to track health and monitor healing near the skin’s surface, as in the case of surgical wounds.
