Challenges in Characterizing Sealant

Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Donald L. Hunston
Sealant is one of the very few major consumer products valued primarily for its rheological and adhesive properties. While, these materials may appear to be...

Wetting-Dewetting Transition Line in Thin Polystyrene Films

Author(s)
H Raghavan, K M. Ashley, A Seghal, Jack F. Douglas, Alamgir Karim
We review recent advances in the application of combinatorial methods to polymer thin film characterization. Combinatorial methods allow the rapid exploration...

Low-Leakage Superconducting Tunnel Junctions with a Single-Crystal Al2O3 Barrier

Author(s)
Seongshik Oh, Katarina Cicak, Kevin Osborn, Raymond Simmonds, David P. Pappas, Robert Mcdermott, Ken B. Cooper, Matthias Steffen, John M. Martinis
We have developed a two-step growth scheme for single-crystal Al2O3 tunnel barriers. The barriers are epitaxially grown on single-crystal rhenium (Re) base...

Rheopexy of Synovial Fluid and Protein Aggregation

Author(s)
Katherine Oates, Wendy Krause, Ronald L. Jones, R H. Colby
Bovine synovial fluid and albumin solutions of similar concentration are rheopectic (stress increases with time in steady shear). This unusual flow...

Predicting Gaseous Air Cleaner Performance in the Field

Author(s)
Cynthia H. Reed, Steven J. Nabinger, Steven Emmerich
As part of an ongoing effort to better understand the performance of indoor air cleaners in real buildings, the National Institute of Standards and Technology...

Chemistry of Silanes Interfaces in Dental Polymers and Composites

Author(s)
Joseph M. Antonucci, Sabine H. Dickens, Bruce O. Fowler, Hockin D. Xu, Walter G. McDonough
The performance and service life of glassor ceramic-filled polymeric composites depend on the nature of their resin, filler and interfacial phases as well as...

FiPy: A Finite Volume PDE Solver Using Python

Author(s)
Daniel Wheeler, Jonathan E. Guyer, James A. Warren
The solution of coupled sets of partial differential equations (PDEs) is ubiquitous in continuum models for phase transformations, such as in phase field or...
