Stretchable conductors are required for next generation soft electronics. Achieving both high electrical conductivity and high stretchability in conductors composed of elastomers and conductive fillers, however, is challenging. Here, a generic, versatile strategy is reported for producing ultrastretchable conductors exhibiting both superior electrical conductivity (>10 3 S/cm) and stretchability (>1600%). This is achieved by adding small amounts of immiscible secondary fluid into silver (Ag) filled inks. Capillary forces in these ternary systems induce the self assembly of conductive particle networks at a low percolation threshold (6−7 vol %), cutting silver consumption by more than 2/3 compared to conventional conductive elastomers. Ag filled polydimethylsiloxane exhibits superior cyclic durability sustaining 100% tensile strain for 1000 cycles with only a minor loss of conductivity. Ag filled thermoplastic polyurethane displays unprecedented reversibility with nonretarded switching from conductive to nonconductive states during repeated stretching up to 200% strain. Patterned strain sensors and conductive wirings were 3D printed to demonstrate the technical feasibility.
There exists an increasing strong demand for internet application in passenger trains, and the wireless broadband coverage along the whole railway is a prerequisite of the internet application in passenger trains. Wireless Mesh Network(WMN) based on 802.16 provides a new solution idea for the wireless broadband coverage of the railway, which is based on OFDM technology to support high-bandwidth data transmission in high speed mobile environment. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is the key technology of physical layer of WMN which has strong anti-interference ability, high bandwidth utilization and transmission rate. But there are some problems such as synchronization, channel estimation and Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) • Among these problems, synchronization is the most important one. For the classic Schmidl&Cox (S&C) timing synchronization algorithm existing plateau which leads to the synchronization inaccuracy, other improved algorithms are proposed to get better performance. However, drawbacks including the narrow synchronization range and the high computational complexity still exist. The optimized scheme mainly contains two aspects, one is amending the structure of the training sequence, and the other is improving the correlation algorithm. Above all, a new method is presented in this paper that optimizes the structure of the training sequence and improves the correlation algorithm to enhance the performance and support the high-speed mobile trains.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
