In order to identify the input parameters for the model, flat composites were tested under tension and compression. It was concluded that a minimum of 12 layers of unidirectional carbon fiber were required to reach the required load (44.5 kN). The prototype was successfully fabricated by vacuum-infusion process and subjected to 3-point bending test. The experimental failure load was within the predicted range by the Tsai-Hill failure criteria and maximum stress.","PeriodicalId":7271,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials Research","volume":"30 1","pages":"131 - 138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89288619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, a DE as an actuator, 0.15 g of acrylic sandwiching SWCNT electrodes, is capable of lifting a weight of 8 kg by more than 1 mm at a speed of 88 msec. In the near future, DE motors could be used to drive electric vehicles. Moreover, the DE can be used as a high-efficiency sensor with the same structure. With a diameter of 20 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm, it can accurately measure pressure from several kg to 150 kg. In addition, reversing this DE actuator (DEA) movement also enables high-efficiency power generation. In other words, when the DEA is stretched or pushed, it generates electric power. Single wall nanotubes (SWCNTs) were used as an electrode, and an acrylic DE power generation cartridge with a diameter of 80 mm was used. When the center of the DE power generation cartridge is pushed by about 15 mm, a power of 33.6 mJ is generated. Using these two DE cartridges, it was possible to charge a secondary battery through a DC converter. In addition to this power generator, practical research and development of power generation using wave power, wind power, waste heat, and fluids (ocean currents, water currents, etc.) is progressing. In this paper, we have described state-of-the-art DEAs, DE generators (including the case that the power generated locally by microgenerators are consumed locally), and DE sensors and explained their usefulness.","PeriodicalId":7271,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials Research","volume":"3 3 1","pages":"99 - 117"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88246349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the present work, quantum dispersion in the mixture of LCs of cholesteric and nematic phases is reported. The combination of two LCs, namely Cholesteryl Palmitate (cholesteric 97%) and 4′-Pentyl-4-biphenylcarbonitrile (nematic, 98%), were used in equal proportion while CdS quantum dots were added in this mixture. The thermal, optical, and structural properties of this new LC-QD composite system were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), ultra-violet visible (UV-VIS) spectroscopy, Fabry-Perot scattering studies (FPSS), and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Structural studies indicate that the QDs are uniformly dispersed inside the LC matrix rather than on the surface area. It was observed that quantum dot dispersion increases the strength of the LC mixture. It also changes the phase behavior of the LC mixture affecting the overall performance of LC-QD composite systems. The present findings would be very helpful for the design of the display and photonic devices with an improved optical response.","PeriodicalId":7271,"journal":{"name":"Advanced Materials Research","volume":"138 1","pages":"33 - 42"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86526008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The realization and operation of memristor based AND and OR hybrid logic gates obtained by integrating memristors with standard CMOS logic have been discussed. The IMPLY and MAGIC logic families have been demonstrated by covering MAGIC NOR and NAND logic gate implementation with MAGIC NOR in detail. A qualitative comparison has been drawn towards the end of the paper to conclude on the suitability and application space for each of the logic families studied in this paper.

With the addition of CMOS inverters, this logic family's OR and AND logic gates, which are based on memristive components, are given a full logic structure and signal restoration.

Suitable compact models and parameter extraction methods are being developed to further the use of OFETs in integrated circuits, where stimulations are required to optimize the device performance. To simplify the parameter extraction, metaheuristic approaches are usually made, which otherwise is a cumbersome process. Following these, here investigations are made with the help of such a compact model to extract the operational parameters of P3HT (poly (3-hexylthiophene) based OFETs with electrolytic gate dielectrics using the genetic algorithm (GA) method. The result show that the compact model that was essentially developed in line with the successful models for inorganic material based FETs, can be used as an excellent framework for simulating low voltage OFETs made with both low and high mobility organic semiconductors. Mobility and threshold voltage calculated from the extracted parameters using GA for the two devices having mobility value differences of more than four orders are found to be nicely fitting with the experimental values. These results assume significance to the organic electronic industry as this facilitates the real-time circuit application of OFETs.

The results obtained that aluminum with thinner thickness can be approximated by the 1-dimensional slab shrinking core model.
