  2. 1. Deployment Simulations of a Composite Boom for Small Satellites

    Author : Pau Mallol Parera; Gunnar Tibert; Keith Seffen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; small satellites; deployable structures; high packaging ratio; composites; bi-stable; gravity off-loading system; små satelliter; utfällbara strukturer; kompakt ihoppackning; kompositer; bistabil; tyngdkraftskompenserande system;

    Abstract : The use of small satellites is rapidly growing, especially satellites with masses between 1 and 10 kg and few litres of volume. The main reasons are due to the low development time and cost. Electronics miniaturization and high density integration is enabling the small satellites class to perform more and better tasks and at a lower cost. READ MORE

  4. 2. Numerical and Experimental Studies of Deployment Dynamics of Space Webs and CubeSat Booms

    Author : Huina Mao; Gunnar Tibert; Arne Nordmark; Anders Eriksson; Keith Seffen; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Deployable structure; Space web; Centrifugal force deployment; Deployable boom; Bi-stable tape spring; Fiber-reinforced composite; Viscoelasticity; Aerospace Engineering; Flyg- och rymdteknik;

    Abstract : In this thesis, experiments and simulations are performed to study the deployment dynamics of space webs and space booms, focusing on the deployment and stabilization phases of the space web and the behavior of the bi-stable tape spring booms after long-term stowage.The space web, Suaineadh, was launched onboard the sounding rocket REXUS-12 from the Swedish launch base Esrange in Kiruna on 19 March 2012.

  5. 3. Organic electrochemical transistor

    Author : David Nilsson; Xavier Crispin; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Conducting polymers entered the research field in late 70's and investigations regarding printable electronics started a decade later. In this thesis printable organic electrochemical transistors (OECT) will be treated. Conjugated polymers can be switched between a high conducting and low conducting state in electrochemical cells.

  6. 4. An Organic Electrochemical Transistor for Printed Sensors and Logic

    Author : David Nilsson; Magnus Berggren; George G. Malliaras; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; printable organic electrochemical transistors OECT ; polymers; charge signal carriers; proton-conducting electrolyte Nafion ; Organic chemistry; Organisk kemi;

    Abstract : Conducting polymers entered the research field in late 70´s and efforts aimed at achieving printed electronics started a decade later. This thesis treats printable organic electrochemical transistors (OECT). Some conjugated polymers can be switched between a high conducting and a low conducting state in an electrochemical cell.
