Pruning the Mechanical Impedance of Three-Dimensional Disordered Networks

February 21, 2022
Author(s)
Marcos Reyes-Martinez, Edwin P. Chan, Christopher Soles, Michael A. Riley, Endao Han, Nidhi Pashine, Kieran Murphy, Heinrich Jaeger, Sidney Nagel, Daniel Reid, Meng Shen, Juan J. de Pablo
Disordered networks, comprised of random arrangements of bonds and nodes, have emerged as materials with the unique ability for independent control over the shear and bulk moduli. Recent computational studies have demonstrated that an extremely high degree

A method to quantify composition, purity, and cross-link density of the polyamide active layer in reverse osmosis composite membranes using 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

February 12, 2022
Author(s)
Ryan Nieuwendaal, Christopher Stafford, Jeff Wilbur
A method for harvesting and purifying the thin polyamide (PA) active layer from thin-film composite (TFC) reverse osmosis (RO) membranes was developed, enabling quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements of the composition and cross-linking

Interface History on Strain Field Evolution in Epoxy Resins

January 21, 2022
Author(s)
Edward Garboczi, Newell Moser, Jena McCollum, Jared Strutton, Abby Jennings, Brandon Runnels
To determine the viability of digital image correlation in the analysis of additively manufactured thermosets, we devised a testing method to examine the effect of interface history (i.e., time between interface formation and original material deposition)

Predicting the plateau modulus from molecular parameters of conjugated polymers

January 18, 2022
Author(s)
Abigail Fenton, Renxuan Xie, Melissa Aplan, Youngmin Lee, Michael Gill, Ryan Fair, Fabian Kempe, Michael Sommer, Chad R. Snyder, Enrique Gomez, Ralph Colby
The relationship between Kuhn length lk, Kuhn monomer volume v0, and plateau modulus GN0 , initially proposed by Graessley and Edwards for flexible polymers, and extended by Everaers, has a large gap in experimental data between the flexible and stiff

Non-fullerene acceptors with direct and indirect hexa-fluorination afford > 17% efficiency in polymer solar cells

December 22, 2021
Author(s)
Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Guoping Li, Liang-Wen Feng, Leighton Jones, Robert Jacobberger, Wei Huang, Ryan Young, Robert Pankow, Weigang Zhu, Norman Lu, Kevin Kohlstedt, Vinod Sangwan, Michael Wasielewski, Mark Hersam, George Schatz, Dean DeLongchamp, Antonio Facchetti, Tobin Marks
The rational molecular design of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) in organic solar cells (OSCs) can profoundly influence the photovoltaic (OPV) performance. To date, NFA fluorination has proven beneficial to cell performance. However, there is a lack of

Orientation of Thin Polyamide Layer-by-Layer Films on Non-Porous Substrates

December 16, 2021
Author(s)
Tawanda J. Zimudzi, Sarah E. Sheffield, Kathleen E. Feldman, Peter Beaucage, Dean DeLongchamp, Douglas I. Kushner, Christopher Stafford, Michael A. Hickner
The orientation of polyamide thin films on non-porous substrates was investigated using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and corroborated by near edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) measurements. Polyamide films comprised of m

Thermal Shrinkage Reveals the Feasibility of Pulse-delay Photocuring Technique

December 1, 2021
Author(s)
Sri Vikram Palagummi, Taeseung Hong, Li Jiang, Martin Chiang
Objectives: To resolve applicability of the pulse-delay photocuring technique to restorative dental composites as a clinical strategy for the reduction in the detrimental polymerization stress. Methods: Model dental composites with high and low-filler
