This paper proposes a novel soft ionic liquid (IL) electrically functional device that displays resistive memory characteristics using poly(acrylic acid) partial sodium salt (PAA-Na+:H2O) solution gel and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in a thin polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) cylindrical microchannel.

Multifunctional nanoparticles have been shown earlier to bind certain proteins with high affinity and the binding affinity could be enhanced by molecular imprinting of the target protein. In this work different initiator systems were used and compared during the synthesis of poly (N-isopropylacrylamide-co-acrylic acid-co-N-tert-butylacrylamide) nanoparticles with respect to their future applicability in molecular imprinting of lysozyme. The decomposition of ammonium persulfate initiator was initiated either thermally at 60 °C or by using redox activators, namely tetramethylethylenediamine or sodium bisulfite at low temperatures. Morphology differences in the resulting nanoparticles have been revealed using scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering. During polymerization the conversion of each monomer was followed in time. Striking differences were demonstrated in the incorporation rate of acrylic acid between the tetramethylethylenediamine catalyzed initiation and the other systems. This led to a completely different nanoparticle microstructure the consequence of which was the distinctly lower lysozyme binding affinity. On the contrary, the use of sodium bisulfite activation resulted in similar nanoparticle structural homogeneity and protein binding affinity as the thermal initiation.

The article is devoted to the analysis of known structures of impact devices used in industry in order to obtain recommendations for their adaptation or when creating new structures for wave strain hardening by surface plastic deformation. The analysis was carried out on the used drive and on the main parameters of impact devices: impact energy, impact frequency, relative metal consumption and efficiency. The options are the best combinations of parameters for electric, pneumatic and hydraulic drives. Recommendations are given on the use of such devices, with appropriate adaptation, as pulse generators for wave strain hardening.

The results of an experimental check of the obtained theoretical formulae allowing us to determine the most important parameters of extrusion cartridges with a counterpunch for different hollow radiuses and bottom-most part thicknesses are presented. Characteristics of used tools, geometric parameters of extrusion experiments, strength characteristics of deformed materials and lubricants are described in detail. Both strain-hardening material and strain-unhardening material were studied. Methodology of the theoretical calculations is demonstrated in detail. High accuracy of the obtained design formulae was confirmed.
