The assembly of terphenyldithiol (TPDT) and quaterphenyldithiol (QPDT) on gold and gallium arsenide from ethanol (EtOH), tetrahydrofuran (THF), and solutions consisting of both solvents was characterized by near-edge x-ray absorption fine structure

In situ hard X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) at metal K-edges and soft XAS at O K-edge and metal L-edges have been carried out during the first charging process for the layered Li1-2Co1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode material. The metal K-edge XANES results
Incorporating discrete cell adhesion motifs onto substrates in a defined orientation with variable spacing and increasing concentration offers a robust strategy for measuring ligand dependent cell-material interactions and encouraging specific cell

Mechanical properties of ultra-thin (submicrometer) films coated on a substrate are paramount in many applications. One question arises as to whether the physical and mechanical properties of supported thin films in applications can be significantly

We recently reported on a new buckling-based metrology for probing the elastic modulus of thin polymer films. In this experimental geometry, a thin film of interest is transferred to a relatively thick elastic substrate, and buckling is induced by

Facile synthesis and detailed characterization of photo-polymerizable and biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDM) and their hydrogels are described. Combined analyses of 1H NMR and MALDI-TOF MS confirmed the formation of prepolymers of
In the work reported here, several important issues regarding the role of the evolving dendritic structure in the generation of crystal defects are investigated. Industrially produced single-crystal castings are examined, and the dendritic arrays are
Fracture from indentation by a hard sphere on bilayer systems composed of curved brittle coating layers on compliant polymeric substrates is investigated, in simulation of dental crown structures. Glass plates 1 mm thick are used are used as representative
Strength properties of silicon substrates containing dense oxide and nitride surface films are investigated using nanoindentations to introduce small flaws of predetermined scale. The indentation flaws provide favored sites for failure in subsequent
A study is made of fracture from cyclic loading of WC spheres on the surfaces of brittle layers on compliant substrates, as representative of repetitive occlusal contact on dental crowns. Several damage modes radial cracks at both top surface and
