    Piezoresistive semi-transparent flexible sensors by bithiophene fulleropyrrolidine thin films

    No full text
    Piezoresistive sensors are considered among the fundamental components of the future wearable electronic devices, given their potential applications in artificial skin, motion capture and personalized medicine.[1-5] Here, we present a cost-effective, viable fabrication approach to realize piezoresistive sensors using a novel polymeric biotiophene fulleropyrrolidine system (bis-C60Bi) synthesized on flexible ITO/PET supports by electrochemical chronoamperometry. By applying an anodic potential (1.5 V) to a solution containing the monomer, it is possible to obtain a homogeneous semi-transparent thin film on the ITO/PET surface (see Figure). AFM, XPS, UV-vis have been employed to characterize the morphology and chemical composition of the new synthesized polymeric thin films, confirming the chemical structure and showing a nanoscale surface roughness of about 25 nm. The resulting polymer-based device shows good resistance variation on bending in the semi-static regime, outperforming current ITO/PET resistive sensors [6] and well matching commercial devices based on opaque amorphous carbon materials.[7] The durability of the sensor has been validated over almost one hundred cycles. This new class of polymeric piezoresistive sensors may open new applications in the field of kinematic acquisition or of sensor monitoring, with several potential applications as well as in medicine, robotics and physiotherapy.

    Fra Contadini di Errico Malatesta, da Firenze a Tokyo

    No full text
    In recent years scholars of anarchism have examined the movement’s transnational dimensions. This new research succeeded in redefining the periodization and the geography of anarchism. However, the debate has been limited to the Western speech communities. This paper tries to reconstruct the process of introduction and circulation in Japan of Fra contadini, a pamphlet written by the Italian anarchist Errico Malatesta, focusing on the first thirty years of the twentieth century. Through the analysis of different periodicals, both Japanese and Europeans, this article will show how the pamphlet changed the Japanese perception of the Italian revolutionist, considering as well the way in which the text was instrumental in the evolution of the local Anarchist debate. The anomalous introduction of the Italian pamphlet in the Japanese context throws new light upon the transnational connections between European and East Asian anarchism, challenging the widely accepted diffusionist model
