Poroelastic Fracture Transition of a Biopolymer Gel

May 24, 2018
Author(s)
Edwin P. Chan, Bradley R. Frieberg, Ronald L. Jones, Ray-Shimry Garatsa, John Bachert, Benjamin Crawshaw
Controlling the fracture behavior of thermoreversible biopolymer gels is important in many con- sumer based applications. For example, gelatin gels are used in the encapsulation and release in vitamin capsules, the manipulation of texture in gelled foods

Energy Renormalization Method for the Coarse-Graining of Polymer Viscoelasticity

May 10, 2018
Author(s)
Jake Song, David D. Hsu, Kenneth R. Shull, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Jack F. Douglas, Wenjie Xia, Sinan Keten
Developing time and temperature transferable coarse-grained (CG) models is essential for the computational prediction and design of polymeric glass-forming materials, but this goal has remained elusive. The dynamics of CG models are often greatly altered

Short-time dental resin biostability and kinetics of enzymatic degradation

May 9, 2018
Author(s)
Xiaohong Wang, Sheng Song, Lei Chen, Christopher M. Stafford, Jirun Sun
Resin biostability is an important concern regarding the durability of methacrylate-based dental resin restorations. Current resin biostability evaluation methods take considerable time, from weeks to months, and provide no short-time kinetics of resin

Hierarchical Cellulose Nanocrystal Blends for Bioinspired Damage Tolerant Photonic Films

May 4, 2018
Author(s)
Bharath NMN Natarajan, Ajay Krishnamurthy, Caglar Dogu Emiroglu, Amanda L. Forster, E. J. Foster, Christoph Weder, Douglas M. Fox, Jan Obrzut, Jeffrey W. Gilman
Attempts to emulate strong and tough natural composites using wood cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) fall short in mechanical performance due to the low shear transfer ability of CNC interfaces in their helicoidal ensembles. This shortcoming is ascribed to the

Cholesterol Functionalized Aliphatic N-Substituted 8 Membered Cyclic Carbonate

April 10, 2018
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, Shrinivas Venkataraman, Kenneth Mineart, James Hedrick, Yi Yan Yang
Straightforward synthesis of cholesterol functionalized aliphatic N-substituted 8 membered cyclic carbonate monomer is reported. Well-defined PEGylated diblock copolymers were readily accessed via organo catalytic ring opening polymerization. These block

The Evolution of Polystyrene as a Cell Culture Material: A Brief History

April 10, 2018
Author(s)
Max J. Lerman, Josephine Lembong, Shinichiro Muramoto, John G. Gillen, John P. Fisher
Polystyrene (PS) has brought in vitro cell culture from its humble beginnings to the modern era, propelling dozens of research fields along the way. This review discusses the development of the material, fabrication, and treatment approaches to create the

UNCERTAINTY IN MULTI-SCALE CREEP RUPTURE LIFE MODELING AND A NEW APPROACH TO ESTIMATING FREQUENCY OF IN-SERVICE INSPECTION OF COMPONENTS AT ELEVATED TEMPERATURES (*)

April 3, 2018
Author(s)
Jeffrey T. Fong, Nathanael A. Heckert, James J. Filliben, Marvin J. Cohn
Uncertainty in modeling the creep rupture life of a full-scale component using experimental data at microscopic (Level 1), specimen (Level 2), and full-size (Level 3) scales, is addressed by applying statistical theory of prediction intervals, and that of

Glassy Phases in Organic Semiconductors

March 17, 2018
Author(s)
Chad R. Snyder, Dean M. DeLongchamp
Organic semiconductors may be processed from fluids using graphical arts printing and patterning techniques to create complex circuitry. Because organic semiconductors are weak van der Waals solids, the creation of glassy phases during processing is quite

Paper in electronic and optoelectronic devices

March 6, 2018
Author(s)
Dongheon Ha, Zhiqiang Fang, Nikolai B. Zhitenev
The demand for lightweight, cost-effective, and/or flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices drives research toward new materials advancing the desired functionality or reducing manufacturing costs. Paper, being in addition an earth abundant and

Blade Coating Aligned, High-Performance, Semiconducting-Polymer Transistors

February 22, 2018
Author(s)
Lee J. Richter, Hyun W. Ro, Regis J. Kline, Daniel A. Fischer, Dean M. DeLongchamp, Lars Thomsen, Christopher McNeil, Dawei Wu, Maria Kaplan, Eliot H. Gann
Recent demonstration of mobilities in excess of 10 cm2V-1s-1 have energized research in solution deposition of polymers for thin film transistor applications. Due to the lamella motif of most soluble, semiconducting polymers, the local mobility is
