In common thermoplastic additive manufacturing (AM) processes, a solid polymer filament is melted, extruded though a rastering nozzle, welded onto neighboring layers and solidified. The temperature of the polymer at each of these stages is the key
We discuss the implementation of a REDOR experiment that is capable of measuring multiple, weak 13C-2H dipolar couplings when 2H is a strong quadrupole and 13C exhibits large chemical shift anisotropy. We find that at 7.05 T in the presence of large 13C
We simulate the conformational structure of a coarse-grained model of dendrimer molecules in good solvent as a function of generation number G and find that they evolve through a substantially more complex structures than regular star polymer with
We outline the details of acquiring quantitative 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) NMR spectra on the most ubiquitous polymer for organic electronics (OE) applications, poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), despite other groups claims that

Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with poly(styrenesulfonate), PEDOT:PSS, has been utilized for over two decades as a stable, solution-processable conductor. While electrical properties have been the subject of intense materials investigation, recent

Recent work has shown that osteoprogenitor cell culture on nanofiber scaffolds can promote differentiation. This response may be driven by changes in cell morphology caused by the 3D structure of nanofibers. Herein, we hypothesized that nanofiber effects

Since its discovery in 2004, graphene has been intensely studied due to its high elastic modulus, thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and gas impermeability. Although it is possible to use small quantities of graphene sheets for fundamental

Anisotropic scattering patterns have been observed from organic thin films that are isotropic on the scale of the probe in polarized resonant X-ray scattering experiments. The symmetry is broken by local correlations between molecular orientation and

A Workshop on Standards & Measurements for Tissue Engineering Scaffolds was held on May 21, 2013 and was sponsored by the American Society of Testing and Materials International (ASTM International) in Indianapolis, IN. The purpose of the workshop was to

DiameterJ is an open source image analysis plugin for ImageJ. DiameterJ produces ten files for every image that it analyzes. These files include the images that were analyzed, the data to create histograms of fiber radius, pore size, fiber orientation, and

The mechanical integrity of a structural composite is strongly affected by the strength and toughness of the fibermatrix interface/interphase (Norwood, 1994), with interfacial shear strength (IFSS) considered the best quantifying metric. IFSS outputs are
Theoretical description is presented about a new analysis method to determine 3-diminsional (3-D) molecular orientation by concurrently analyzing polarization profiles of multiple Raman modes measured by broadband coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering
