Soft actuators have tremendous applications in diverse fields. Facile preparation, rapid actuation, and versatile actions are always pursued when developing new types of soft actuators. In this paper, ...

An efficient asymmetric biomimetic transamination of α-keto esters with quinine derivatives as chiral bases was described. A wide variety of α-amino esters containing various functional groups can be ...

Spontaneous imbibition (SI) of wetting liquid into matrix blocks due to capillary pressure is regarded as an important recovery mechanism in low permeability fractured reservoir. In this paper, an ...

We characterized a vibration sensor made of piezoelectric paper by measuring the frequency response function of an aluminum cantilever that was subjected to impulse loading and random excitation. The ...
