Tuning Open-Circuit Voltage in Organic Solar Cells with Molecular Orientation

June 24, 2015
Author(s)
Brent Kitchen, Omar Awartani, Regis J. Kline, Terry McAfee, Harald Ade, Brendan T. O'Connor
The role of molecular orientation of a polar conjugated polymer in a polymer-fullerene organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells is investigated. A planar heterojunction (PHJ) OPV cell composed of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid

Mesomorphic Pathway in Early Stage Crystallization of Polyethylene

June 18, 2015
Author(s)
Kalman D. Migler, Angela R. Hight Walker, Anthony P. Kotula
The kinetic pathway by which a molten polymer transforms into a multi-length scale semi-crystalline structure upon cooling is an unsolved problem in polymer physics, yet it is critical to the processing, properties and ultimate performance of these

Rheology and Dynamics of Colloidal Superballs

June 9, 2015
Author(s)
John R. Royer, George L. Burton, Daniel L. Blair, Steven D Hudson
Recent advances in colloidal synthesis make it possible to generate a wide array of precisely controlled, non-spherical, shaped particles. However, relatively little is known about the role that particle shape plays in the dynamics of colloidal suspensions

Small-Angle X-ray Scattering of Ionic Liquids

June 1, 2015
Author(s)
Fan Zhang, Joshua A. Hammons, Jan Ilavsky
Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is a powerful technique that is used to resolve the size and structure of phases on the nanometer scale, within a sample. While these features may also be observed with other techniques, such as: electron microscopy or

Multi-scale measurement for tensile behaviors of glass fiber composites at high rate loading: Fiber fragmentation behaviors in epoxy resin

May 19, 2015
Author(s)
Jae Hyun Kim, Steven P. Mates, Nathanael A. Heckert, Walter G. McDonough, Gale A. Holmes
High strength and light weight composite materials used in various structural components of aviation and automotive applications deform under high rate loading conditions during collision. Since composite structures using continuous fibers are constituted

ELEVATED TEMPERATURE ADHESION TESTING OF SPRAY-APPLIED FIRE-RESISTIVE MATERIALS

May 13, 2015
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Kar T. Tan, Donald L. Hunston, Walter E. Byrd
Effective fire protection of steel can be fully realized when spray-applied fire resistive materials (SFRMs) are bonded sufficiently to structural steel during the event of fire. The adhesion mechanisms and characterization at elevated temperatures

MECHANISMS OF CRITICALITY IN ENVIRONMENTAL ADHESION LOSS

May 13, 2015
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Kar T. Tan, Donald L. Hunston, Kristen L. Steffens, Deborah S. Jacobs, Bulent Akgun, Vogt D. Bryan
Moisture attack on adhesive joints is a long-standing scientific and engineering problem. A particularly interesting observation is that when the moisture level in certain systems exceeds a critical concentration, the bonded joint shows a dramatic loss of
