Such devices can be found in marine, aerospace, and robotic applications which require the minimization of weight and volume of the electromagnetic device. During the magnetizing process, the magnet may not be perfectly magnetized. Therefore, it needs to be demagnetized. Because of high coercivity of some permanent magnets, the demagnetization process requires the intense magnetic fields in close proximity with the magnetic material. The fields must be produced for a short period of time （millisecond range） and they also must be bidirectional in order to overcome the coercivity of magnetic material. Different parameters have been known to affect the demagnetizer operation such as the core shape, core material, turn number, cross section of air gap, magnet type and so on. The amplitude and waveform of the fixture current is obtained from PSPICE simulations and also from experimental measurement. A 2D finite element analysis is developed to simulate the magnetic fields and the mechanical forces. In this paper, the main parameters affecting the optimal design of the demagnetizer are discussed. Simulation results show that the core structure, air gap width, and turn numbers are the most important parameters when designing such a device.展开更多

In this paper, we first introduce the actuation principle and electromechanical modeling approaches of dielectric elastomers(DEs). Then, the performance of different DEs material and existing compliant electrodes that are widely utilized for DEAs are presented. We also highlight the compatibility of DEs, which is suitable for a variety of actuator designs and applications. Lastly, we summarize the challenges and future development in terms of electromechanical modeling, improvement of materials including compliant electrodes and dielectric elastomer, designs and applications of novel dielectric elastomer actuators.展开更多

We aim to include supercapacitor electrode materials related to MOFs, such as carbon, metal and composite materials. It is proposed that MOFs play an important role in the development of a new generation of supercapacitor electrode materials. Finally, we discuss the current challenges in the field of supercapacitors, with a view towards how to address these challenges with the future development of MOFs and their derivatives.展开更多

They exist in liquid state below 100 ℃. Both ILs and their composite materials have been widely used in various fields. Attributed to the outstanding properties including the thermal and chemical stabilities, the negligible volatility, the high ionic conductivity, the wide electrochemical window, and the easy design in the construction, ILs have been applied in electrochemical applications including the electrocatalysis, the electrosynthesis, the electrodeposition, the electrochamical devices and sensors. In addition to the application in electrochemical sensors, ILs have also been used in biosensors because of their biocompatibiciy. Here, we review the recent devel- opments for the applicaitons of ILs in electrochemical sensors and biosensors, including the corresponding properties of ILs suitable for electrochemical sensors. Electrochemical biosensors constructed by numorous composites are the emphasis in the review.展开更多
