Within this contribution we present recently published findings [1] on the new way of utilizing polymeric materials for vibration damping. We present and demonstrate patented dissipative bulk and granular systems technology [2], based on which we have developed granular damping elements (GDE). The damping elements consist of granular viscoelastic material encapsulated and pressurized within a woven container made of basalt, carbon, and/or glass fibres. The hydrostatic pressure changes material properties and consequently the performance of the vibration isolation. Within this contribution, properties of three TPU materials in solid state are investigated, which after granulation are potential candidates for producing new GDE damping elements. We have demonstrated that for the case of TPU materials the stiffness and energy absorption capability of insulation may be increased between 10 to 100 times.

Pyrrole Monomer

Polypyrrole is a classical, well-known conjugated polymer that is produced from a simple heterocyclic system. Numerous pyrrole derivatives exhibit biological activity, and the repeat unit is a common building block present in the chemical structure of many polymeric materials, finding wide application, primarily in optoelectronics and sensing. In this work, we focus on the variety of copolymers and their material properties that can be produced electrochemically, even though all these systems are obtained from mixtures of the “simple” pyrrole monomer and its derivatives with different conjugated and non-conjugated species.

Solid State Cooling

Abstract Nearly 4,400 TWh of electricity—20% of the total consumed in the world—is used each year by refrigerators, air conditioners, and heat pumps for cooling. In addition to the 2.3 Gt of carbon dioxide emitted during the generation of this electricity, the vapor-compression-based devices that provided the bulk of this cooling emitted fluorocarbon refrigerants with a global warming potential equivalent to 1.5 Gt of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. With population and economic growth expected to dramatically increase over the next several decades, the development of alternative cooling technologies with improved efficiency and reduced emissions will be critical to meeting global cooling needs in a more sustainable fashion. Barocaloric materials, which undergo thermal changes in response to applied hydrostatic pressure, offer the potential for solid-state cooling with high energy efficiency and zero direct emissions, as well as faster start-up times, quieter operation, greater amenability to miniaturization, and better recyclability than conventional vapor-compression systems. Efficient barocaloric cooling requires materials that undergo reversible phase transitions with large entropy changes, high sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure, and minimal hysteresis, the combination of which has been challenging to achieve in existing barocaloric materials. Here, we report a new mechanism for achieving colossal barocaloric effects near ambient temperature that exploits the large volume and conformational entropy changes of hydrocarbon chain-melting transitions within two-dimensional metal–halide perovskites. Significantly, we show how the confined nature of these order–disorder phase transitions and the synthetic tunability of layered perovskites can be leveraged to reduce phase transition hysteresis through careful control over the inorganic–organic interface. The combination of ultralow hysteresis (< 1.5 K) and high barocaloric coefficients (> 20 K/kbar) leads to large reversible isothermal entropy changes (> 200 J/kg•K) at record-low pressures (< 300 bar). We anticipate that these results will help facilitate the development of barocaloric cooling technologies and further inspire new materials and mechanisms for efficient solid-state cooling.

Solid State Electrolytes

Solid-state lithium metal batteries (LMBs) have become increasingly important in recent years due to their potential to offer higher energy density and enhanced safety compared to conventional liquid electrolyte-based lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). However, they require highly functional solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) and, therefore, many inorganic materials such as oxides of perovskite La2/3−xLi3xTiO3 (LLTO) and garnets La3Li7Zr2O12 (LLZO), sulfides Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS), and phosphates Li1+xAlxTi2−x(PO4)3x (LATP) are under investigation. Among these oxide materials, LLTO exhibits superior safety, wider electrochemical window (8 V vs. Li/Li+), and higher bulk conductivity values reaching in excess of 10−3 S cm−1 at ambient temperature, which is close to organic liquid-state electrolytes presently used in LIBs. However, recent studies focus primarily on composite or hybrid electrolytes that mix LLTO with organic polymeric materials. There are scarce studies of pure (100%) LLTO electrolytes in solid-state LMBs and there is a need to shed more light on this type of electrolyte and its potential for LMBs. Therefore, in our review, we first elaborated on the structure/property relationship between compositions of perovskites and their ionic conductivities. We then summarized current issues and some successful attempts for the fabrication of pure LLTO electrolytes. Their electrochemical and battery performances were also presented. We focused on tape casting as an effective method to prepare pure LLTO thin films that are compatible and can be easily integrated into existing roll-to-roll battery manufacturing processes. This review intends to shed some light on the design and manufacturing of LLTO for all-ceramic electrolytes towards safer and higher power density solid-state LMBs.

Pressure Changes

1. A technique is described for replacing part of the branchiostegite of Carcinus maenas by a transparent plastic ‘window’ for direct observation of the gills in situ with minimum disturbance. 2. Observation of dye streams shows that most water enters the hypobranchial space through the Milne-Edwards openings above the chelae, flowing anteriorly and/or posteriorly to ventilate most of gills 3-8. Water also enters above the pereiopods to ventilate the rest of the gills. Water passes from the hypobranchial to the epibranchial space, confirming that there is a counterflow with respect to the circulation of blood through the gill lamellae. 3. By sampling water at different points in the branchial system, patterns of oxygen removal were studied. The gradients confirmed the direction of water flow observed by the use of dyes. 4. Rhythmic changes in hydrostatic pressure in normal forward-pumping of 3-12 mm. H2O were recorded from the branchial cavities, superimposed on a maintained negative pressure relative to that outside the crab of 0-10 mm. H2O. Reversals produced a brief positive pressure change of 0-22 mm. H2O. 5. The possible relationships of the rhythmic pressure changes to scaphognathite movements are discussed. 6. The role of reversals is discussed and it is concluded that their primary function during ventilation is in helping to clean the ventrally facing gill surfaces. But they are also important in respiration under certain special conditions which arise during the normal life of the animal. 7. The utilization of O2 during its passage over the gills is low (7-23%) in spite of the counterflow. Possible explanations of this are discussed in relation to a model of the whole ventilation system.

1. Two indirect methods for recording changes of hydrostatic pressure within the trunk of Acanthocephalus ranae have been described. 2. Internal pressure has been shown to be lowest when the trunk is fully contracted and the proboscis invaginated, and highest when the trunk is fully elongated. 3. A rapid rise of internal pressure occurs when the circular trunk muscles contract. 4. Overall internal pressure changes of up to 0.5 cm. Hg have been shown to occur in active specimens. 5. The body length when fully extended is only 40-50% greater than when contracted. 6. The correlation between muscular activity, body shape, and internal hydrostatic pressure in A. ranae is discussed

Origami structures have been widely used in various engineering fields due to their desirable properties such as geometric transformability and high specific energy absorption. Based on the Kresling origami pattern, this study proposes a type of thin-walled origami tube the structural configuration of which is found by a mixed-integer linear programming model. Using finite element analysis, a reasonable configuration of a thin-walled tube with the Kresling pattern is firstly analyzed. Then, the influences of different material properties, the rotation angle of the upper and lower sections of the tube unit, and cross-sectional shapes on the energy absorption behavior of the thin-walled tubes under axial compression are evaluated. The results show that the symmetric thin-walled tube with the Kresling pattern is a reasonable choice for energy absorption purposes. Compared with thin-walled prismatic tubes, the thin-walled tube with the Kresling pattern substantially reduces the initial peak force and the average crushing force, without significantly reducing its energy absorption capacity; moreover, it enters the plastic energy dissipation stage ahead of time, giving it a superior energy absorption performance. Besides, the material properties, rotation angle, and cross-sectional shape have considerable influences on its energy absorption performance. The results provide a basis for the application of the Kresling origami pattern in the design of thin-walled energy-absorbingstructures.
