Preparation and Characterization of Patchy Particles

November 14, 2008
Author(s)
Thuy Chastek, Steven D. Hudson, Vincent A. Hackley
The self-assembled organization of partilces depends on the symmetry of their interactions, and strides are being made in producing nanoaparticles of controlled shape and functionalization. This paper describes the use of particles adsorption to control

Centrifugal Length Separation of Carbon Nanotubes

October 1, 2008
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan, Matthew Becker, Jae H. Chun, Barry J. Bauer, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Angela R. Hight Walker, Erik K. Hobbie
Separation of single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by length via centrifugation in a high density medium, and the characterization of both the separated fractions and the centrifugation process are presented. Significant quantities of the separated SWCNTs

Quantifying Changes in the Fast Dynamics of Mixtures by Dielectric Spectroscopy

September 26, 2008
Author(s)
Tatiana Psurek, Christopher L. Soles, Kirt A. Page, Marcus T. Cicerone, Jack F. Douglas
The addition of a solvent or nanoparticles to a polymeric material can lead toappreciable changes in the rates of relaxation and reaction that can profoundly alter material properties and function. We introduce a general theoretical strategy for

Multi-sample micro-slit rheometry

September 17, 2008
Author(s)
Doyoung Moon, Anthony J. Bur, Kalman D. Migler
We have developed a multi-sample micro-slit rheometer MMR which is capable of measurements over a broad range of temperatures, viscosities and shear rates. The instrument is mechanically simple as the flow is generated by external gas pressure and the

Piezoelectric Response of Nanoscale PbTiO3 in Composite PbTiO3-CoFe2O4 Epitaxial Films

August 15, 2008
Author(s)
Igor Levin, Tan Zhuopeng, Alexander Roytburd, Katyayani Seal, Brian Rodriguez, Stephen Jesse, Sergei Kalinin, Art Baddorf
Piezoelectric properties of PbTiO3 in 1/3PbTiO3-2/3CoFe2O4 transverse epitaxial nanostructures on differently oriented SrTiO3 were analyzed using conventional and switching-spectroscopy piezoelectric force microscopy. The results confirmed that the

Systematic oxidation of polystyrene by ultraviolet-ozone,characterized by near edge x-ray absorption fine structure and contact angle

August 5, 2008
Author(s)
Daniel A. Fischer, Robert Klein, Joseph~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Lenhart
The process of implanting oxygen in polystyrene (PS) via exposure to ultraviolet-ozone (UV-O) was systematically investigated using the characterization technique of near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS). Samples of PS exposed to UV-O for 10s

Diffusive and convective mass transfer in two-phase flow in microchannels

August 3, 2008
Author(s)
Steven D. Hudson, Jai A. Pathak, Jeffrey D. Martin
The kinetics of mass transfer from one phase to another is monitored in flow. The time-dependent interfacial tension between water and oil (determined from drop deformation dynamics in situ) serves as a measure of the butanol concentration within the drop
