Adhesion at layer-by-layer surfaces in aqueous environments

Author(s)
Adam J. Nolte, Jun Y. Chung, Marlon L. Walker, Christopher M. Stafford
Adhesion between materials is often governed by the ambient environment, which can mediate or change the types of molecular interactions present at an interface...

Ultrathin Adhesives: Confinement Effect on Modulus

Author(s)
Jessica M. Torres, Christopher Stafford, Bryan D. Vogt
In this work, we will employ this wrinkling metrology to extract the modulus of polymer thin films for a homologous series of poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s. In...

Coherent measurements with fiber-laser frequency combs

Author(s)
Nathan R. Newbury, Ian R. Coddington, Tasshi Dennis, William C. Swann, Paul A. Williams
The coherent and broad spectral output of fiber-laser frequency combs can be exploited for a variety of high-resolution measurements outside of conventional...

Properties of Smoke from Overheated Materials in Low-Gravity

Author(s)
David L. Urban, Gary A. Ruff, Thomas Cleary, Jiann Yang, George Mulholland, Zeng-guang Yuan
Smoke particle size measurements were obtained under low-gravity conditions by overheating several materials typical of those found in spacecraft. The...

Target Penetration of Laser-Based 3D Imaging Systems

Author(s)
Geraldine S. Cheok, Kamel S. Saidi, Marek Franaszek
The ASTM E57.02 Test Methods Subcommittee is developing a test method to evaluate the ranging performance of a 3D imaging system. The test method will involve...

Dimensional measurement traceability of 3D imaging data

Author(s)
Steven D. Phillips, Craig M. Shakarji, Michael Krystek, K Summerhays
This paper discusses the concept of metrological traceability to the SI unit of length, the meter. We describe how metrological traceability is realized, give a...

Impact of Polymer Chemistry on the Durability of Model Adhesives Supported on SiOx Substrates in Humid Environments Using Homologous Series of Poly(n-alkyl methacrylate)s

Author(s)
Kar T. Tan, Bryan D. Vogt, Christopher C. White, Kristen Hamilton, Nicholas Wagman, Joshua E. Goldman, Jessica M. Torres, Kristen L. Steffens, Cyril Clerici, Sushil K. Satija, Donald L. Hunston
There are many advantages that structural adhesives can offer compared to the more traditional joining methods, such as welding, bolting, mechanical fastening...

Measuring optical waveforms with fiber frequency combs

Author(s)
Ian R. Coddington, William C. Swann, Nathan R. Newbury
A stabilized frequency comb provides a broadband array of highly resolved comb lines. Using a multiheterodyne technique, we measure the amplitude and phase of...
