Growth habits and defects in epitaxial ZnO nanowires grown from Au catalyst on (0001) GaN/sapphire substrate using Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) technique were studied using electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The results revealed presence of both

Organic-stable microfluidic devices are used for combinatorial measurements of polymerization reactions on chip. Formulation, processing, and measurement are combined on one chip device for the generation of combinatorial polymer libraries. A monomer /
The competition between fracture modes in monolithic brittle materials loaded in cyclic contact in aqueous environments with curved indenters is examined. Three main modes are identified: conventional outer cone cracks, which form outside the maximum
A study is made of the effects of superposed tangential force by off-axis indentation loading on curved bilayers consisting of brittle shells filled with polymer support material. Such loadings are pertinent to all-ceramic crown structures on tooth dentin
We present a small angle neutron scattering (SANS) study into the micellar and vesicular structures of diblock copolymer EO6BO11 (where EO represents an ethyleneoxide unit and BO represents a butyleneoxide unit, and 6 and 11 are the number of repeat units

This chapter reviews the fundamental nature of wear under lubricated conditions and presents a comprehensive view of our current understanding of the wear processes under boundary lubrication conditions. Wear under lubricated conditions can be classified

A matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) interlaboratory comparison was conducted on mixtures of synthetic polymers having the same repeat unit and closely matching molecular mass distributions but with
The Symposium on Metrology and Standards for Cell Signaling: Impact on Tissue Engineering, was held at the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) on October 14-15, 2003. The purpose of the symposium, which was co-sponsored by NIST and ASTM

We report on the rapid formation of hydrophilic silicone elastomer surfaces by ultraviolet/zone (UVO) irradiation of poly(vinylmethyl siloxane) (PVMS) network films. Our results reveal that the PVMS network surfaces render hydrophilic upon only a short UVO

Structural behavior and phase transitions in the A-cation deficient perovskite-like solid solutions (1-x)LaMg0.5Ti0.5O3-xLa2/3TiO3 (0=x=0.5) were studied using variable-temperature transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray powder diffraction

A test method has been developed for measuring mechanical properties of material structures at the small-scale. Round or hexagonal rings are compressed vertically on their ends thereby creating a uniform tension stress in a horizontal crossbar that serves

Considerable attention has been devoted to developing fabrication strategies for constructing combinatorial material libraries as well as tools for characterizing the chemical and physical properties of such libraries. Less attention has been dedicated to
