In automated production processes grasping devices and methods play a crucial role in the handling of many parts, components and products. This keynote paper starts with a classification of grasping phases, describes how different principles are adopted at different scales in different applications and continues explaining different releasing strat...
Cet ouvrage traite de tous les bétons en détaillant les caractéristiques de leurs constituants, afin d'optimiser leur impact environnemental, leur durabilité, leur formulation, leur fabrication, leur transport et leur mise en oeuvre sur le chantier, ainsi que leur contrôle in situ ou en laboratoire. Il rappelle les spécifications auxquelles ils doi...
CdS nanorod arrays were grown on fluorine-doped tin oxide glass substrates via a hydrothermal process and subsequently coated with a TiO2 nanolayer via a vacuum dip-coating process to fabricate a onedimensional array structured photocatalyst. The TiO2 nanolayer improved the photocatalytic efficiency of CdS nanorod arrays for the degradation of meth...

To answer the growing need for more versatile integrated spectral filters, we show that weak one-dimensional gratings can be designed towards any desired target spectrum. We follow a very straightforward design procedure to demonstrate the performance of these devices. Measurements and simulations show a very good correspondence with the target spe...
The curing behavior of telechelic vinyl-functionalized poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) with poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-propylmercaptomethylsiloxane) using photoinitiated radical thiol-ene polyaddition was studied, by means of rheology, mechanical analysis of the cured elastomeric products, and high resolution magic angle spinning NMR (HR-MAS). Postpoly...
We report one-step microfluidic synthesis and characterization of novel Janus microhydrogels composed entirely of the same base material, N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAAm). The microhydrogels were fabricated by the microfluidic generation of Janus monomer microdroplets based on separation of a supersaturated aqueous NIPAAm solution into NIPAAm-rich an...
This paper describes a simple approach to prepare a transparent superhydrophobic coating and a translucent superamphiphobic coating via spraying silica- fluoropolymer hybrid nanoparticles (SFNs) without any pre- or post-treatment of substrates; these nanoparticles create both microscale and nanoscale roughness, and fluoropolymer acts as a low surfa...
In this study, the microstructural and mechanical features of monolithic pure Cu and Cu matrix nanocomposites reinforced with three different fractions (2, 4, and 6 vol%) of SiC nanoparticles (n-SiC) fabricated via a combination of high energy mechanical milling and hot pressing techniques were investigated. The fabricated composites exhibited homo...
