X-ray CT imaging and finite element computations of the elastic properties of a rigid organic foam compared to experimental measurements: Implications for foam grade differences and process control

March 17, 2015
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Aaron M. Forster, Jan Miller, Chen-Luh Lin, Cesar Chan, Kumar Natesaiyer, David Song, Suman Sinha-Ray
A combined computational/experimental materials science technique was developed for acquiring the structure of a rigid organic foam (ROHACELL) using X-ray computed tomography with appropriate image analysis, computing the elastic moduli using large-scale

Reducing Block Copolymer Interfacial Widths through Polymer Additives

February 10, 2015
Author(s)
Daniel F. Sunday, Regis J. Kline
There is a need to design new materials to achieve smaller pitches and reduced interfacial widths for use in the nanopatterning of block copolymers (BCPs). One option is the use of blends, where the addition of a homopolymer which selectively associates to

New Insights into Subsurface Imaging of Carbon Nanotubes in Polymer Composites via Scanning Electron Microscopy

February 4, 2015
Author(s)
Minhua Zhao, Bin Ming, Jae-Woo Kim, Luke J. Gibbons, Xiaohong Gu, Tinh Nguyen, Cheol Park, Peter T. Lillehei, John S. Villarrubia, Andras Vladar, James A. Liddle
Despite many studies of subsurface imaging of carbon nanotube (CNT)-polymer composites via scanning electron microscopy (SEM), significant controversy exists concerning the imaging depth and contrast mechanisms. We studied CNT-polyimide composites and, by

In-situ Characterization of Polymer-Fullerene Bilayer Stability

January 8, 2015
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Regis J. Kline, Hyun Wook Ro, Chad R. Snyder, Andrew A. Herzing, Sebastian Engmann
A consensus is emerging that every phase present in a bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic (OPV) device is not material pure. In general, there will exist at least one region characterized by a mixture of donor and acceptor. Significant insights into

High Resolution Surface Plasmon Resonance Imaging for Single Cells

November 30, 2014
Author(s)
Alexander Peterson, Michael Halter, Alessandro Tona, Anne Plant
Background Surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) is a label-free technique that can image refractive index changes at an interface. We have previously shown that SPRI can be used to study the dynamics of cell-substratum interactions. However

A study of the adhesive foot of the gecko

November 14, 2014
Author(s)
Elmar Kroner, Chelsea S. Davis
In recent years, hundreds of scientific studies have been published regarding gecko-inspired adhesives. The primary reason for this increasing interest lies in the unique properties which are combined in the adhesive system of the gecko: this natural

NIST Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program Winter, Spring, and Fall 1994 Comparability Studies: Results for Round Robins XXX, XXXI, and XXXII Fat-Soluble Vitamins and Carotenoids in Human Serum and Round Robins 5 and 6 Ascorbic Acid in Huma

Jeanice M. Brown Thomas, Margaret C. Kline, Katherine E. Sharpless, S A. Margolis
The National Institute of Standards and Technology coordinates the Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) for laboratories that measure fat- and water-soluble vitamins and carotenoids in human serum and plasma. This report describes

Prediction and Validation of Diffusion Coefficients in a Model Drug Delivery System Using Microsecond Atomistic Molecular Dynamics Simulation and Vapor Sorption Analysis

October 21, 2014
Author(s)
Christopher Forrey, D M. Saylor, Joshua S. Silverstein, Jack F. Douglas, Eric Davis, Yossef A. Elabd
Diffusion of small to medium sized molecules in polymeric medical device materials underlies a broad range of public health concerns related to unintended leaching from or uptake into implantable medical devices. Knowledge of diffusion rates is thus

Foam Composite Specifications and Qualification in Support of NIJ 0115.00

September 8, 2014
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, Emilien J. Guigues, Amanda L. Forster, Jeffrey M. Davis, Kirk D. Rice
A laminate foam composite is recommended in the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) 0115.00 standard as the backing material for testing stab resistant body armor. The foam specification originated from early work to match force-displacement profiles from
