Effects of electrode morphology on the performance of BPSH and PATS ionic polymer transducers by Akle, Barbar J.

“…The electromechanical coupling in ionomeric materials is due to the charge motion in the polymer backbone. Increasing the capacitance of the actuator increases the motion of the charges and the actuation performance of ionic polymer transducers has been shown to be strongly correlated with charge motion. …”

Do high energy-efficient buildings increase overheating risk in cold climates? Causes and mitigation measures required under recent and future climates by Mutasim Baba, Fuad

“…The building envelope thermal characteristics studied represent houses built in different periods from 1950 to high energy-efficient buildings in Montreal under different weather generations: typical historical (1961–1990), recent observational (2016), and typical future years 2030 (2026–2045) and 2090 (2080–2099) generated based on RCP-4.5 and 8.5 scenarios. The results showed that the high energy-efficient buildings can be more resilient to climate change than old buildings if adequate ventilation is provided, where the decrease of window and wall U-value, and SHGC all contribute to the decrease in indoor temperature. …”
