Article Synopsis
- Wearable strain transducers using multifunctional ionic elastomers promise to enhance healthcare by enabling personalized, real-time monitoring of physiological health indicators, particularly for rehabilitation after injuries and surgeries.
- These elastomers are created using dynamic hydrogen bond networks and showcase impressive properties, including an ultra-stretchable strain of 4600%, high conductivity, and self-repair capabilities, making them suitable for long-term use.
- By integrating these elastomers with an ESP32-based device, the technology can wirelessly track and transmit data on human movements, thereby facilitating remote monitoring for improved recovery efficiency and reduced need for clinic visits.
Low-temperature torrefaction assisted with solid-state KOH/urea applied onto wheat straw was proposed to break down the lignocellulosic material to enhance biomethane production in anaerobic digestion (AD). The optimization of key parameters applying the Box-Behnken design and response surface methodology showed that an addition of 0.1 g/g KOH/urea at 180 °C while torrefying for 30 min was the optimal condition for producing biomethane.
