Tissue engineering applications involve developing materials to guide cellular response in the repair of missing or damaged tissue. We have been developing...
Prior experiments on miscible polymer blend films, where one component segregates to both surfaces, show that the surface segregation profile flattens as film...
We investigate the effect of the coupling of the forward- and backward-going electron-hole pairs on the static local-field factor of jellium with and without a...

The polarization and intensity of light scattered by polystyrene latex (PSL) and copper spheres with diameters of approximately 100 nm depostied onto silicon...
An important measure of the opacity of a solid with respect to monoenergetic electrons in a solid is the effective attenuation length (EAL). However, there is...
Experimental techniques and density functional theory have been employed to identify the surface composition and structure of SnO 2(101). The stoichiometric Sn...
Mass customization has been identified as a competitive strategy by an increasing number of companies. Family-based product design has been recognized as an...

This paper describes a threefold method of testing the performance of an array-based ultrasonic tool for nondestructive testing of spot welds. The tool is...
The unwanted sensitivity of a plate pyroelectric detector to airborne acoustic noise is critically dependent on the mounting conditions for the plate. We...
Two experiments are reported to show how some lingering inherited misconceptions about the applications of surge-protective devices (SPDs) can lead to erroneous...

A 340-element array of microhotplates is used to characterize the chemical vapor deposition growth of carbon nanotubes and nanofibers under a variety of process...
Recent publications have used the impact of area change coupled with conservation of adsorbed catalyst to quantify the superfill effect of bottom-up feature...
Airborne particles are implicated in morbidity and mortality of certain high-risk subpopulations. Exposure to particles occurs mostly indoors, where a main...

This report summarizes the work performed during the past two years at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the refinement and formal...
Residual stress plays an important role in shaping Iilaterials properties. We present both the method to determine texture-weighted strain orientation...
