High-Performance Polymer Composite Membranes for Selective Ion Transport in Advanced Energy Conversion Systems
Abstract: The development of high-performance Polymer Composite Membranes (PCM) with enhanced ion transport is essential for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC). However, low-humidity conditions and filter agglomeration still limit long-term membrane stability. This research designs a functionalized PCM integrating cross-linked Poly (Vinyl Alcohol)/Poly (Ethylene Glycol) (PVA/PEG) matrix with sulfonic acid functional groups and Titanium Dioxide (TiO₂) nanofillers to improve selective ion transport under low-humidity conditions. Two types of PCM were …

Analysis of Pull-in Voltage with Respect to Changes in Dielectric Material and their Thickness
Abstract: Micro Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) actuators experience pull-in effect in their actuation range. MEMS actuating elements are thin parallel plate capacitor electrodes separated with air gap. Parallel plate electrostatic micro actuators are known to have the pull-in effect, where electrostatic attractive force exceeds the mechanical restoring force of the suspending spring, and that the movable plate spontaneously pulled into physical contact with the opposite electrode. In our model the effect of …
