The extensive development of electronic systems and telecommunications has lead to major
concerns regarding electromagnetic pollution. Motivated by environmental questions and by …

This article presents a review of the current understanding of the mechanics of random fiber
networks. The discussion refers to athermal fiber networks, for which the governing …

As the softest part in a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), the gas diffusion layer
(GDL) could have a large deformation under assembly pressure imposed by bipolar plate …

The electrical and electromagnetic shielding interference properties of composite materials
made of polypropylene (PP) and carbon nanotubes (CNT) have been investigated in a …

Modification of the mechanical and rheological properties of polypropylene (PP) is
accomplished through the in-situ generation of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fibrils via …

The potential energy landscape of a flowing metallic glass is revealed using the activation-
relaxation technique. For a two-dimensional Lennard-Jones system initially deformed into a …

Designing structures that dilate rapidly in both tension and compression would benefit
devices such as smart filters, actuators or fasteners. This property however requires an …

We study the micromechanics of collagen‐I gel with the goal of bridging the gap between
theory and experiment in the study of biopolymer networks. Three‐dimensional images of …

The ability to process and dimensionally scale field‐effect transistors with and on paper and
to integrate them as a core component for low‐power‐consumption analog and digital …

Systems of randomly packed, macroscopic elements, from jammed spherical grains to
tangled long filaments, represent a broad class of disordered meta-materials with a wide …
