Analysis and passive control of a four-bar linkage for the rehabilitation of upper-limb motion
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015)In the last two decades robotic rehabilitation research provided significant insight regarding the human-robot interaction, helped understand the process by which the impaired nervous system is retrained to better control ...

Continuum model for the phase behavior, microstructure, and rheology of unentangled polymer nanocomposite melts
(2014)We introduce a continuum model for polymer melts filled with nanoparticles capable of describing in a unified and self-consistent way their microstructure, phase behavior, and rheology in both the linear and nonlinear ...

Enamine-Based Hydrophilic Dynamic Covalent Polymer Networks: Effects of pH, and Copolymer Composition and Concentration on the Aqueous Swelling Degrees and the Gel Formation Times
(2015)In this work, we explore the formation in water of dynamic covalent polymer networks cross-linked via enamine groups. The polymer networks resulted from the combination of pairs of chemically complementary hydrophilic ...

Extending FABRIK with model constraints
(2016)Forward and Backward Reaching Inverse Kinematics (FABRIK) is a recent iterative inverse kinematics solver that became very popular because of its simplicity, convergence speed and control performance, especially in models ...

Minimally actuated four-bar linkages for upper limb rehabilitation
(2018)In the previous years the scientific community dealt extensively with designing, developing and testing robot-based rehabilitation systems. Besides the benefits that resulted for disabled people, this twenty-year endeavor ...

Robust Distributed Average Consensus via Exchange of Running Sums
(2016)We consider a multi-component system in which each component (node) can send/receive information to/from sets of neighboring nodes via communication links (edges) that form a fixed strongly connected, possibly directed, ...

Structurally-defined semi-interpenetrating amphiphilic polymer networks with tunable and predictable mechanical response
(2016)The synthesis of structurally-defined semi-interpenetrating amphiphilic networks is realized by employing an easy and versatile synthetic concept based on the encapsulation of well-defined hydrophobic linear polymer chains ...

Symmetry properties for a generalised thin film equation
(2013)Symmetry properties are presented for a fourth-order parabolic equation written in conservation form. It was introduced in the literature as a generalisation of the fourth-order thin film equation. We derive equivalence ...

Synthesis and characterization of hyperbranched amphiphilic block copolymers prepared via self-condensing RAFT polymerization
(2015)Four families of hyperbranched amphiphilic block copolymers of styrene (Sty, less polar monomer) and 2-vinylpyridine (2VPy, one of the two more polar monomers) or 4-vinylpyridine (4VPy, the other polar monomer) were prepared ...

Well-defined fluoro- and carbazole-containing diblock copolymers: Synthesis, characterization and immobilization onto Au-coated silicon surfaces
(2012)A series of well-defined diblock copolymers consisting of 2-(N-carbazolyl)ethyl methacrylate (CbzEMA) and 2,2,3,3,4,4,4-heptafluorobutyl methacrylate (HFBMA) (CbzEMAx-b-HFBMAy) was synthesized by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation ...
