Self-Powered Piezoelectric Nano-Polymer Networks with Embedded Wireless Nodes for Distributed IoT Sensor Platforms
Abstract: Self-powered sensing systems are emerging as a promising solution for next-generation distributed Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, where lightweight, flexible, and low-maintenance devices are required for continuous monitoring. In this work, a self-powered piezoelectric nano-polymer network based on poly-vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) reinforced with BaTiO₃ nanoparticles and multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) was developed for flexible wireless sensing applications. The composite was designed to combine mechanical flexibility, enhanced piezoelectric response, and real-time …

A Review on Integrated Acoustic Emission and Piezoelectric Sensing for Real-Time Damage Characterization of Polymer Composite-Enhanced Concrete: Advances, Challenges, and Future Perspective
Abstract: Polymer composite reinforced concrete has been identified as an efficient material system that can enhance the mechanical properties, durability, and service life of modern structures. The combination of fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs), polymer modifiers, and hybrid composite reinforcements increases structural effectiveness. However, these systems are still vulnerable to damage processes, including matrix cracking, fiber breaking, interfacial debonding, and delamination. Thus, there is a need for structural health monitoring (SHM) strategies …

A Study on Precision Blood Propulsion in Motor-Driven Artificial Hearts
Abstract: The development of biocompatible, energy-efficient pumping mechanisms is pivotal for advancing artificial heart (AH) technology. This study explores a motor-driven centrifugal pump designed to replicate the physiological dynamics of natural ventricles while mitigating complications associated with conventional axial and pulsatile systems. The proposed system employs a brushless DC motor with closed-loop control, integrated with pressure and flow sensors to modulate rotational speed (RPM) and generate biomimetic cardiac output. The suggested …
