Higher temperatures can have a decreasing effect on pull-off strength, due to the thermal degradation of cell-wall polymers. Keywords: coating; heat treatment; nanotechnology; nanosilver; permeability; porous structure; solid wood; thermal modification...
They measure both radial stress (bond stress) and temperature at their active surface near the case wall simultaneously during manufacturing and thermal cycling. DBSTs are embedded in the motor against the inner case wall during the manufacturing process and can use wired or wireless technologies to...
One key issue in SOC technology relates to the reliability of seals—to ensure electric insulation and gas tightness—in the demanding conditions found in stacks. There are various approaches to SOC stack design, but planar cells show many advantages such as manufacturing simplicity, high power dens...
Finally, when using high voltages/currents, thermal insulation should also be considered as the heat generated can affect the interfacing living tissues as well as the liquids pumped. If pumps for drug delivery or other biomedical applications are considered, the TiNi U-SMAs are highly biocompatible...
