Abstract
For medical device and artificial skin applications, etc., large-area tactile sensors have attracted strong interest as a key technology. However, only complex and expensive manufacturing methods such as fine pattern alignment technology have been considered. To replace the existing smart sensor, which has to go through a complicated process, a..... More

Abstract
Superplastic forming (SPF) is a promising approach used for manufacturing parts with complex geometries, especially in the automotive, aerospace, and marine industries. However, the wider use of this method is limited by issues of low forming rate, high-temperature requirement, non-uniform thickness distribution, and expensive base materials. The two-stage hybrid forming..... More

Abstract
A photo-rheological fluid (PRF) is a smart fluid which exhibits different viscosity under UV irradiation. A PRF is comprehensively presented in this work, with particular focus on its responses under UV off/on conditions. The isomeric conversion from SP to MC and vice versa under UV off and on, respectively, showed..... More
