Design of a Multistable Finger Prosthesis with Programmable Metamaterials

Shape change, as well as the ability to hold specific deformation, is a main requirement for finger prostheses. Currently, these functionalities are realized by screwed hinges with latching elements. To avoid the assembly process and increase the sustainability a non-assembly, 3D...

Polyolefin Characterization by High Temperature Solvent Gradient Interaction Chromatography: Transitioning Away from Chlorinated Desorption Promoting Solvents

Abstract High temperature solvent gradient interaction chromatography (HT-SGIC) has been established as a cornerstone technique to elucidate the chemical composition (CC) and underlying chemical composition distribution (CCD). In HT-SGIC, the adsorption (adsorlis) and desorption...
