    Abstract Electrostrictors, materials developing mechanical strain proportional to the square of the applied electric field, present many advantages for mechanical actuation as they convert electrical energy into mechanical, but not vice versa. Both high relative permittivity and reliance on Pb as the key component in commercial electrostrictors pose serious practical and health problems.

    Abstract Electromechanically active ceramic materials, piezoelectrics and electrostrictors, provide the backbone of a variety of consumer technologies. Gd- and Sm-doped ceria are ion conducting ceramics, finding application in fuel cells, oxygen sensors, and, potentially, as memristor materials. While optimal design of ceria-based devices requires a thorough understanding of their mechanical and electromechanical properties, reports of systematic study of the effect of dopant concentration on the electromechanical behavior of ceria-based ceramics are lacking. Here we report the longitudinal electrostriction strain coefficient (M₃₃) of dense REₓCe₁–ₓO₂–ₓ/₂ (x ≤ 0.25) ceramic pellets, where RE = Gd or Sm, measured under ambient conditions as a function of dopant concentration within the frequency range f = 0.15–350 Hz and electric field amplitude E ≤ 0.5 MV/m. For >100 Hz, all ceramic pellets tested, independent of dopant concentration, exhibit longitudinal electrostriction strain coefficient with magnitude on the order of 10–¹⁸ m²/V². The quasi-static (f < 1 Hz) electrostriction strain coefficient for undoped ceria is comparable in magnitude, while introducing 5 mol % Gd or 5 mol % Sm produces an increase in M₃₃ by up to 2 orders of magnitude. For x ≤ 0.1 (Gd)–0.15 (Sm), the Debye-type relaxation time constant (τ) is in the range 60–300 ms. The inverse relationship between dopant concentration and quasi-static electrostrictive strain parallels the anelasticity and ionic conductivity of Gd- and Sm-doped ceria ceramics, indicating that electrostriction is partially governed by ordering of vacancies and changes in local symmetry.

    Abstract Sonication-assisted graphene production from graphite is a popular lab-scale approach in which ultrasound energy breaks down graphite sheets into graphene flakes in aqueous medium. Dispersants (surfactant molecules) are incorporated into the solution to prevent individual graphene flakes from reaggregating. However, in solution these dispersants self-assemble into various structures, which can interfere with the characterization of the graphene produced. In this study, we characterized graphene dispersions stabilized by a family of pyrene-based surfactants that facilitate a high exfoliation yield. These surfactants self-assembled to form flakes and ribbonsshapes very similar to those of graphene structures. The dispersant structures were present both in the graphene dispersion and in the precipitate after the solvent had been evaporated and could therefore have been mistakenly identified as graphene by electron microscopy techniques and other characterization techniques, such as Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Contrary to previous reports, we showedby removing the dispersants by filtration and washingthat the surfactants did not affect the shape of the graphene prepared by sonication.

    Abstract Oxygen defective cerium oxides exhibits a non classical giant electromechanical response that is superior to lead based electrostrictors. In this work, we report the key role of acceptor dopants, with different size and valence Mg2+, Sc3+, Gd3+, and La3+, on polycrystalline bulk ceria. Different dopants tune the electrostrictive properties by changing the electrosteric dopant defect interactions. We find two distinct electromechanical behaviors when the interaction is weak dopant vacancy binding energy 0.3 eV, electrostriction displays high coefficient, up to 10-17 m2V-2, with strongly time dependent effects. In contrast, we observe no time dependent effects when the interaction becomes strong 0.6 eV.

    Abstract The substantial heat generation in highly dense electronic devices requires the use of materials tailored to facilitate efficient thermal management. The design of such materials may be based on the loading of thermally conductive fillers into the polymer matrix applied - as a thermal interface material - on the interface between two surfaces to reduce contact resistance. On the one hand, these additives enhance the thermal conductivity of the composite, but on the other hand, they increase the viscosity of the composite and hence impair its workability. This in turn could negatively affect the device-matrix interface. To address this problem, we suggest a tunable composite material comprising a combination of two different carbon-based fillers, graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and graphite. By adjusting the GNP:graphite concentration ratio and the total concentration of the fillers, we were able to fine tune the thermal conductivity and the workability of the hybrid polymer composite. To facilitate the optimal design of materials for thermal management, we constructed a 'concentration-thermal conductivity-viscosity phase diagram'. This hybrid approach thus offers solutions for thermal management applications, providing both finely tuned composite thermal properties and workability. We demonstrate the utility of this approach by fabricating a thermal interface material with tunable workability and testing it in a model electronic device.

    Abstract A major challenge in nanocomposite research is to predict the optimal nanomaterial concentration (ONC) yielding a maximal reinforcement in a given property. We present a simple approach to identify the ONC based on our finding that it is typically located in close proximity to an abrupt increase in polymer matrix viscosity, termed the rheological percolation threshold, and thus may be used as an indicator of the ONC. This premise was validated by rheological and fractography studies of composites loaded by nanomaterials including graphene nanoribbons or carbon or tungsten disulfide nanotubes. The correlation between in situ viscosity, the rheological percolation threshold concentration and the nanocomposite fractography demonstrates the utility of the method.

    Abstract Thermal conductivity (TC) enhancement of an insulating polymer matrix at low filler concentration is possible through the loading of a high aspect ratio, thermally conductive single filler. Unfortunately, the dispersion of high-aspect-ratio particles greatly influences the rheological behavior of the polymer host at relatively low volume fractions, which makes further polymer processing or mixing difficult. A possible remedy is using two (hybrid) fillers, differing in their aspect ratios: (1) a plate-like filler, which sharply increases both viscosity and TC, and (2) an isotropic filler, which gradually increases these properties. We examine this hypothesis in a thermosetting silicone rubber by loading it with different ratios, (1)/(2), of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) (1) and graphite powder (2). We constructed a "phase diagram" delineating two composite processability regions: solid-like (moldable) or fluid-like (pourable). This diagram may be employed to tailor the mixture's viscosity to a desired TC value by varying the fillers' volume fraction. The phase diagram highlights the low volume fraction value, above which the composite is solid-like (low processability) for a single high-aspect-ratio nanofiller. By using hybrid filling, one can overcome this limit and prepare a fluid-like composite at a desired TC, not accessible by the single nanofiller. Thus, it provides an indicative tool for polymer processing, especially in applications such as the encapsulation of electronic devices. This approach was demonstrated for a heat source (resistor) potted by silicon rubber graphene-graphite composites, for which a desired TC was obtained in both solid- and liquid-like regions.
