- Fabrication of super-thermally insulating material with outstanding mechanical property is fascinating yet limited by synthetic challenge.
- Natural fabric-based thermoset composites are generally lower in strength performance compared to hybrid composites.
- Design and direct fabrication of high-performance thermosets and composites via 3D printing are highly desirable in engineering applications.
- Polyamides are engineering thermoplastics which exhibit good mechanical and barrier properties.
- Thermoelastic problems are reduced to elastic problems by means of the thermoelastic displacement-potential function proposed by Goodier.
- Stretchable thermoelectric generators (TEGs) capable of harvesting electrical energy from body heat in cold weather conditions have the potential to make wearable electronics and robotic systems more lightweight and portable by reducing their dependency on on-board batteries.
- Global warming is the driving force for developing new functional thermoelectric generators based on new materials which contain at least one of the elements Si, Se, or Sn.
- Half-Heusler compound TiNiSn is one of the most promising candidates of thermoelectric materials which can be used to directly convert the waste heat to clean electric energy at high temperatures (around 1000 K).
