Journal ArticleDOI
Phase diagram of P3HT/PCBM blends and its implication for the stability of morphology.
TL;DR: The observed glass transition temperature (Tg) defines the operating window for the thermal annealing and explains the long-term instability of both the morphology and the photovoltaic performance of the P3HT/PCBM solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self-healing soft pneumatic robots
TL;DR: This research proposes to construct soft robotics entirely out of self-healing elastomers, on the basis of healing capacities found in nature, and shows how realistic macroscopic damage could be healed entirely using a mild heat treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of Demixing and Remixing in Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)/Water Studied by Modulated Temperature DSC
TL;DR: In this article, the heat capacity signal from modulated temperature DSC was used to measure the onset of phase separation in aqueous poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) solutions, showing a type II LCST demixi...

TL;DR: Criteria to evaluate the potential of a self- healing polymer to be used in soft robotic applications is proposed and the different types of self-healing polymers already available in literature are critically assessed and compared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restricted chain segment mobility in poly(amide) 6/clay nanocomposites evidenced by quasi-isothermal crystallization
TL;DR: In this paper, a modulated temperature differential scanning calorimetry is used to explore the interactions between a poly(amide) 6 matrix and various types of clay reinforcement during quasi-isothermal crystallization of the polymer/clay nanocomposites, an excess contribution is observed in the recorded heat capacity signal, due to reversible melting and crystallization.
