Formation of Extended Ionomeric Network by Bulk Polymerization of L,D-lactide with Layered Double Hydroxide

November 22, 2012
Author(s)
Edward D. McCarthy, Mauro Zammarano, Douglas M. Fox, Ryan Nieuwendaal, Yeon S. Kim, P H. Maupin, Paul C. Trulove, Jeffrey W. Gilman
We report the formation of an ionomeric network in a poly(L,D-lactide) hybrid nanocomposite, (PLDLA-HYB) during in-situ melt polymerization of L,D lactide in the presence of magnesium/aluminium layered-double-hydroxide (LDH) without added catalyst. The

Capillary Wave Dynamics of Thin Polymer films over Submerged Nanostructures

November 16, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher L. Soles, Hyun W. Ro, K. J. Alvine, Oleg Shpyrko, Yenling Dai, Alec Sandy, Suresh Narayanan
The surface dynamics of thin molten polystyrene films supported by nanoscale periodic silicon line-space gratings were investigated with X-ray photon correlation spectroscopy. Surface dynamics over these nanostructures exhibit high directional anisotropy

Giant piezoelectricity in PMN-PT thin films: Beyond PZT

November 1, 2012
Author(s)
S. H. Baek, M. S. Rzchowski, Vladimir Aksyuk
Micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) incorporating piezoelectric layers provide active transduction between electrical and mechanical energy, which enables highly sensitive sensors and low-voltage driven actuators surpassing the passive operation of

Quantifying Dithiothreitol Displacement of Functional Ligands from Gold Nanoparticles

October 27, 2012
Author(s)
De-Hao D. Tsai, Frank W. DelRio, Sherrie R. Elzey, Suvajyoti S. Guha, Michael R. Zachariah, Vincent A. Hackley, Melanie P. Shelton
Dithiothreitol (DTT)-based displacement is widely utilized for separating ligands from their gold nanoparticle (AuNP) conjugates, a critical step for differentiating and quantifying surface-bound functional ligands and therefore the effective surface

Anisotropic, Hierarchical Surface Patterns via Surface Wrinkling of Nanoimprinted Polymer Films

October 22, 2012
Author(s)
Junghyun Lee, Hyun W. Ro, Rui Huang, Thomas Germer, Paul Lemaillet, Christopher Soles, Christopher Stafford
we demonstrated the wrinkling behavior of nanopatterned PS films, whose wrinkle wavelength and resultant morphology depend strongly on geometric parameters of surface patterns as well as the direction of the applied strain relative to the nanopattern

Aggregation/agglomeration state of carbon nanotubes

October 12, 2012
Author(s)
Vivek M. Prabhu, Toshiya Okazaki, Takeshi Eitoku, Masayoshi Tange, Haruhisa Kato
Evaluation of aggregation and agglomeration of carbon nanotube (CNT) solution has been one of the key issues for applications. Here we introduce a simple method based on depolarized dynamic light scattering (DDLS) performed at multiple scattering angles to

Effect of Polymer Degree of Conversion on Streptococcus mutans Biofilms

October 5, 2012
Author(s)
Alison M. Kraigsley, Kathy Tang, John A. Howarter, Katrice Lippa, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Nancy Lin
The effects of key material properties of polymeric composite restorations on cariogenic oral biofilms are needed to provide insight into the materials' role in recurrent caries. The objective of this study was to quantify the effects of degree of
