Solid inorganics, known for kinetically inhibiting polymer crystallization and enhancing ionic conductivity, have attracted significant attention in solid polymer electrolytes. However, current composite polymer electrolytes (CPEs) are still facing challenges in Li metal batteries, falling short of inhibiting severe dendritic growth and resulting in very limited cycling life. This study introduces Ga 62.5 In 21.5 Sn 16 (Galinstan) liquid metal (LM) as an active liquid alternative to conventional passive solid fillers, aiming at realizing self-healing protection against dendrite problems. Compared to solid inorganics, for example silica, LM droplets could more significantly reduce polymer crystallinity and enhance Li-ion conductivity due to their liquid nature, especially at temperatures below the polymer melting point. More importantly, LMs are unraveled as dynamic chemical traps, which are capable of blocking and consuming lithium dendrites upon contact via in situ alloying during battery operation and further inhibiting dendritic growth due to the lower deposition energy barrier of the formed Li-LM alloy. As a proof of concept, by strategically designing an asymmetric CPE with the active LM filling, a solid-state Li/LiFePO 4 battery achieves promising full-cell functionality with notable rate performance and stable cycle life. This active filler-mediated self-healing approach could bring new insights into the battery design in versatile solid-state systems.

This paper proposes a novel 3-degrees of freedom (DOF) compliant parallel micromanipulator. The design of the mechanism is based on triglide parallel manipulator. The compliant version of the triglide is prepared by making use of flexure joints. Displacement amplifiers are incorporated in the design to increase range of motions. The pseudo-rigid-body modeling technique is then used to formulate and solve the inverse kinematic problem for the design. To check the correctness and accuracy of the analytical kinematic model FEA simulations are performed in Abaqus-6.14 environment. Simulation results reveal that the proposed micromanipulator can perform different motions very effectively. Additionally, it is found that results predicted by the analytical model conform very closely to the simulation outcomes. The errors are very low, and the motions involve negligible parasitic motions.

In this paper, the modeling of an industrial robot is presented. The simulation of an industrial robot is carried out using the ADAMS multibody system. The computer-aided design model of an industrial robot is imported into ADAMS. The imported model in ADAMS is prepared for the simulation by adding markers or frames to the rigid bodies of an industrial robot. The relationship between the rigid bodies is established by applying constraints in ADAMS. The STEP function from the function builder is used to move the rigid bodies of an industrial robot. The STEP function is an expression that uses the initial and final conditions to create a smooth motion. The joint limits of an industrial robot are specified in the STEP function to trace the path of an end-effector, which represents the workspace of an industrial robot. Furthermore, the pose of an industrial robot using STEP expression is investigated in the postprocessor.

Carbon nanotube (CNT) films, consisting of entangled two-dimensional networks, exhibit prominent surface-dependent characteristics. Lubricants have been recognized as an effective strategy for reducing interfacial friction. However, experimental evidence indicates that lubricants unexpectedly increased the interfacial friction, demonstrating a counterintuitive velocity-dependent behavior. To elucidate the anomalous interfacial dynamics, experimental and computational methodologies were employed to systematically investigate the transverse penetrating behaviors of CNT films with different interface states and loading velocities. Experimental results indicate that the lubricant exhibits a decreasing trend at lower relative velocities, but transitions from decreasing to strengthening behavior as penetration velocity increases. The proposed equation reveals that the strengthening mechanism is not solely velocity-dependent but is jointly governed by the load magnitude and surface conditions. The high specific surface area of CNT films induces enhanced interface states and pronounced velocity-dependent characteristics, which collectively govern the fracture pattern observed in films subjected to distinct surface stress conditions. Deciphering the lubricant-induced velocity-transition mechanisms in CNT films yields new theoretical insights into interface-governed penetration behavior, while establishing material design principles for engineering impact-resistant membranes with tunable energy dissipation pathways.
