Implications of density bonus tool for urban planning: relaxing floor area ratio (FAR) regulations in Tehran (2020)
Journal Article
Karampour, K. (2021). Implications of density bonus tool for urban planning: relaxing floor area ratio (FAR) regulations in Tehran. International Planning Studies, 26(3), 219-235. https://doi.org/10.1080/13563475.2020.1802235

This article, by using empirical evidence from Tehran, looks beyond the West to explore the implications of the reliance of the entrepreneurial local government on private capital for the urban planning system. The main premise of this paper is that... Read More about Implications of density bonus tool for urban planning: relaxing floor area ratio (FAR) regulations in Tehran.

Photo-thermal actuation of ultra-drawn high-density polyethylene (2020)
Journal Article
Bhatti, M. R. A., Bilotti, E., Zhang, H., Bastiaansen, C. W., & Peijs, T. (2020). Photo-thermal actuation of ultra-drawn high-density polyethylene. Polymer, 207, Article 122897. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polymer.2020.122897

In this work, the photo-actuation of melt-processed ultra-drawn films based on high-density polyethylene (HDPE), incorporating a light-responsive additive (2-(2H-benzotriazol-2-yl)-4,6-ditertpentylphenol, BZT), is presented. These oriented films exhi... Read More about Photo-thermal actuation of ultra-drawn high-density polyethylene.

Ultra-high actuation stress polymer actuators as light-driven artificial muscles (2020)
Journal Article
Bhatti, M. R. A., Bilotti, E., Zhang, H., Varghese, S., Verpaalen, R. C., Schenning, A. P., …Peijs, T. (2020). Ultra-high actuation stress polymer actuators as light-driven artificial muscles. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 12(29), 33210-33218. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.0c07684

Remotely addressable actuators are of great interest in fields like microrobotics and smart textiles because of their simplicity, integrity, flexibility, and lightweight. However, most of the existing actuator systems are composed of complex assembli... Read More about Ultra-high actuation stress polymer actuators as light-driven artificial muscles.

Fast, light-responsive, metal-like polymer actuators generating high stresses at low strain (2020)
Journal Article
Verpaalen, R. C., Varghese, S., Froyen, A., Pilz da Cunha, M., Pouderoijen, M. J., Severn, J. R., …Schenning, A. P. (2020). Fast, light-responsive, metal-like polymer actuators generating high stresses at low strain. Matter, 2(6), 1522-1534. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matt.2020.03.001

Producing lightweight polymeric actuators able to generate high stresses typical of hard metals and/or ceramics remains challenging. The photo-mechanical responses of ultra-drawn ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) actuators containing...
