摘要:
The present invention relates to the electrochemistry of conjugated polymers in ionic liquids and the development and fabrication of long-lived, highly stable conjugated polymer electrochemical devices by using ionic liquids as electrolytes. More specially, the invention relates to the use of ionic liquids as electrolytes for the fabrication of long-lived, highly stable electrochemical actuators, electrochemical capacitors and electrochemical batteries having conjugated polymers as active electrodes as well as for the fabrication of long-lived, highly stable electrochromic devices with polyaniline and polythiophene as coloration materials.

The present invention includes the preparation of highly conducting conjugated polymers and their use as electrochemical actuators, A typical electrochemical actuator comprises a highly conducting, conjugated polymer for the anode or the cathode, or for both the anode and the cathode; suitable conjugate polymers have a conductivity ≧100 S/cm. The material may have any form, including films and fibers. A preferred shape is a strip or a fiber, where the fiber can be solid or hollow, although any shape may be used. Before use, the material may be treated, for example, by immersion in an acid, in order to dope/protonate the material or to introduce anions or to exchange the anion in the polymer for another anion. Other materials may be incorporated in the polyaniline to increase its conductivity or to provide other benefits, such as increased strength. Useful conducting polymers include monomers of anilines, pyrroles, thiophenes, phenylene vinylenes, and derivatives thereof.
摘要:
A linear electrochemical actuator is described where at least one electrically conductive (between 400 and 1000 S/cm), doped polyaniline solid fiber or a yarn produced from such fibers is disposed in an electrolyte inside of a electrically conductive polyaniline hollow fiber, thereby allowing 2-electrode operation without a metal backing. This is an example of the electrochemical devices of the present invention having a solid-in-hollow polymer fiber configuration. In a propylene carbonate electrolyte, the electrochemical and actuation behavior of the fibers was found to be influenced by the solubility and size of the polymer dopants. That is, solubility of the dopant in the electrolyte resulted in high electroactivity and strain in the fibers. Actuation of fibers was also affected by electrolyte anions, small anions resulting in anion-exchange dominated actuation, while large anions resulted in cation-exchange dominated actuation. Isotonic strains of 0.9% and isometric stresses of 0.9 MPa were realized for the solid-in-hollow polyaniline fiber actuators.

Embodiment of present invention provide a micro-optics module. The module includes a glass body of pentagon shape having five side surfaces including an upper side surface, a left side and a right side surface next to the upper side surface, a lower side surface next to the left side surface, and a 5th side surface next to and between the lower side surface and the right side surface. The glass body is adapted to, upon incident of a first optical signal at the left side surface, cause the first optical signal to propagate toward and exit the glass body at the right side surface and, upon incident of a second optical signal at the right side surface, cause the second optical signal to reflect back at the left side surface; reflect back at the 5th side surface; and finally exit the glass body at the upper side surface.

A method facilitates extending the useful life of a turbine engine including a combustor and a turbine downstream from and in flow communication with the combustor. The method comprises identifying at least a portion of the combustor that is at least one of distressed, worn, deteriorated, satisfied pre-determined threshold data, and beyond serviceable limits, identifying at least one enhancement kit for installation within the combustor, and removing at least two portions of the combustor including at least two of a combustor dome assembly, a swirler/cowl assembly, and the combustor inner and outer liners. The method also comprises installing the enhancement kit within the turbine engine such that a useful life of the turbine engine is facilitated to be increased.
