    Barium addition to chromite ore processing residue COPR was investigated in order to address a the pronounced heaving phenomena that are associated with mainly the presence of ettringite and b hexavalent chromium ...
  • Investigation of extensional actuation strain in ionomeric polymer transducers 
    Akle, Barbar J.; LEo, Donald J. (ASME, 2018-01-22)
    Ionomeric polymer transducers have received considerable attention in the past ten years due to their ability to generate large bending strain and moderate stress at low applied voltages. Bending transducers made of an ...
  • Investigation of the physics of transduction in nafion / Ionic liquid composite membranes 
    Akle, Barbar; Leo, Donald; Bennett, Matthew (ASME, 2018-01-22)
    Ionomeric polymer actuators based on Nafion membranes exhibit large bending motion (1%) under the application of small voltages (1-5 V). Actuation in these materials is believed to arise from the field-induced motion of ...
  • Investigation on micro-patterned gold-plated polymer substrate for a micro hydraulic actuator 
    Akle, Barbar; Leo, Donald J.; Sundaresan, Vishnu Baba (2017-06-01)
    Plants have the ability to develop large mechanical force from chemical energy available with bio-fuels. The energy released by the cleavage of a terminal phosphate ion during the hydrolysis of a bio-fuel assists the ...
  • Ionic electroactive hybrid transducers 
    Akle, Barbar J.; Bennett, Matthew D.; Leo, Donald J. (SPIE, 2017-05-30)
    Ionic electroactive actuators have received considerable attention in the past ten years. Ionic electroactive polymers, sometimes referred to as artificial muscles, have the ability to generate large bending strain and ...
  • Ionic Liquid Nafion Nanofiber Mats Composites for High Speed Ionic Polymer Actuators 
    Akle, B.; Nah, C.; Kwak, S. K.; Kim, N.; Lyu, M.-Y.; Hwang, B.S.; Leo, D. J. (2016-10-17)
    A new attempt is made for application of the NafionTM nanofiber mat prepared by the electrospinning process to solve the main disadvantage of slow response speed of ionomer-ionic liquid transducers. The measured conductivities ...
  • Ionic Polymer Transducers in sensing 
    Akle, Barbar; Weiland, Lisa Mauck (2016-10-21)

  • Is the non-market literature adequate to support coastal and marine management? 
    Atiyah, Perla; Pendleton, Linwood; Moorthy, Aravind (2017-09-07)
    Analysts increasingly look to the literature for estimates of the non-market value of coastal and marine resources. We examine the comprehensiveness, timeliness, geographical completeness, and methodological breadth of the ...
  • Is viscoelasticity of any relevance to quantitative EHL friction predictions? 
    Habchi, Wassim; Bair, Scott (2019-07-26)
    The classical study of friction in elastohydrodynamic lubrication (EHL) has often invoked viscoelastic response to explain the friction behavior at small slide-to-roll ratios. In these studies the shear modulus has been, ...
