This book provides a new direction in electronics research
with the invention of a new material tuPOY, which changes our perception of
developing electronics. Evolving on a relatively underplayed phenomenon of
static electricity in scientific exploration and application, tuPOY upholds the
potential to rival both silicon and metals as electronics of the future.
Devices made of tuPOY present a new emblem to the technological world, where we
could envision our electronic paraphernalia from a completely different
perspective. A computer the size of a big wall, which could be neatly folded
and kept in our pockets when not in use and laundered on a regular basis, can be
imagined possible with this invention. The concept, manufacturing process,
physics and uses of tuPOY as the next generation material of electronics is
described in this book.
The book covers the production process of tuPOY and goes on
to conceptual advancement from manipulating the sensing, radiating and
processingproperties of tuPOY. Theoretical modelling of tuPOY is characterized
by steady-state equations exploiting interchanges based on the lattice
kinetics, which mathematizes an Interchange Phenomenon in
tuPOY. The numerical manifestations calibrate mathematically, tuPOY's response
to any external physical impetus such as charge, heat or energy flow.
The book validates the sensing properties and theoretical
model by designing a tuPOY sensor which can be used in a plethora of
applications. A novel microstrip antenna is designed by amalgamation of tuPOY,
raw silk and polynylon composites to experimentally verify the radiation
properties of the new material. The conduction properties are verified by drawing
fibres of tuPOY and using them as wires and connectors in electronics. A Power
Generating Unit (PGU) is designed with tuPOY as its primary element. This is a
first of its kind PGU that scavenges power from thermal energy presenting a new
dimension in operational power dynamics.
Overall this book should be of interest to a wide range of readers
ranging from researchers, scientists, developers, manufacturers, engineers,
graduate students and anyone who has satiety to think differently.
