Temperature and light intensity effects on the photodegradation of high-density polyethylene

May 11, 2019
Author(s)
Andrew W. Fairbrother, Hsiang C. Hsueh, Jae Hyun Kim, Deborah S. Jacobs, Lakesha N. Perry, David G. Goodwin, Christopher C. White, Stephanie S. Watson, Li Piin Sung
The photodegradation of polymers poses a serious challenge to their outdoor application, and results in significant financial loss due to early or unexpected system failure. A better understanding of their degradation kinetics aids the improvement of

Environmental Friendly Flame Resistant Coatings for Soft Furnishing

May 1, 2019
Author(s)
Yeon S. Kim, Yu-Chin Li, John R. Shields, Rick D. Davis
Pending flammability regulations and scrutinizing of the environment and health consequences of fire retardants is creating opportunities for novel and “greener” technologies to reduce the flammability of residential furniture. This presentation will

Corona Treatment for High-Throughput, Layer-by-Layer Nano-Transfer Molding

April 2, 2019
Author(s)
Michael Deagan, Edwin Chan, Linda S. Schadler, Chaitanya Ullal
Corona discharge treatment offers a facile, robust, and scalable technique for adhesion promotion in nano-transfer molding. In contrast to conventional plasma treatment, which requires vacuum operation, corona treatment at ambient pressure enabled

Influence of Knot Complexity on Glass-Formation in Ring Polymer Melts

March 13, 2019
Author(s)
Luis F. Vargas Lara, Beatriz Pazmino, Jack F. Douglas
We perform molecular dynamic simulations on a coarse-grained polymer melt to study the dynamics of glass-formation in ring polymer melts of variable knot complexity. After generating melts of non-concatenated polymeric rings having a range of minimum

Raman Imaging of Surface and Sub-Surface Graphene Oxide in Fiber Reinforced Polymer Nanocomposites

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Amber D. McCreary, Qi An, Aaron M. Forster, Kunwei Liu, Siyao He, Chris Macosko, Andreas Stein, Angela R. Hight Walker
The incorporation of nanofillers, such as graphene oxide (GO) into fiber reinforced polymer composites to improve their mechanical properties is a significant research area for a variety of industrial applications. However, to date there is no reliable

Targeting hMSC Response via Surface Carbonyl Groups, Contact Angle, and Protein Interactions

March 1, 2019
Author(s)
Max J. Lerman, Shinichiro Muramoto, Navein Arumugasaamy, Michael Van Order, Josephine Lembong, Anushka Gerald, John G. Gillen, John P. Fisher
Traditional 2D culture systems made of polystyrene (PS) require the addition of surface chemistry beyond the nominal phenyl groups present to facilitate and encourage cell adhesion. Determining the surface properties which enhance protein adhesion from
