Quantification and Compensation of Unintentional Analyte Aggregation in Electrospray Sampling

March 30, 2011
Author(s)
Mingdong M. Li, Suvajyoti S. Guha, Rebecca A. Zangmeister, Michael J. Tarlov, Michael R. Zachariah
Electrospray (ES) sources are commonly used to introduce non-volatile materials (e.g. nanoparticles, proteins, etc.) in to the gas phase for characterization by mass spectrometry and ion mobility. Recent studies in our group using electrospray ion mobility

CONTINUOUS FLOW ENZYME-CATALYZED POLYMERIZATION IN A MICROREACTOR

March 25, 2011
Author(s)
Santanu S. Kundu, Atul S. Bhangale, William E. Wallace, Kathleen M. Flynn, Charles M. Guttman, Richard Gross, Kathryn L. Beers
Enzymes immobilized on solid supports are increasingly used for chemical transformation because the process is greener and sustainable. Here we use microreactors to study enzyme catalyzed ring opening polymerization of -caprolactone to polycaprolactone. A

LABORATORY ACCELERATED AND NATURAL WEATHERING OF STYRENE-ETHYLENE-BUTADIENE-STYRENE (SEBS) BLOCK COPOLYMER: ACCELERATION AND CORRELATION

March 23, 2011
Author(s)
Kar T. Tan, Christopher C. White, David J. Benatti, Deborah S. Jacobs, Donald L. Hunston
Indoor accelerated and outdoor field weathering of styrene-ethylene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer have been studied by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In the indoor accelerated experiments, specimens are exposed to ultraviolet-visible

Effects of Ligand Monolayers on Catalytic Nickel Nanoparticles for Synthesizing Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanofibers

March 16, 2011
Author(s)
Kate L. Klein, Mehmet Sarac, Robert Wilson, Aaron C. Johnston-Peck, Junwei Wang, Ryan Pearce, Anatoli V. Melechko, Joseph B. Tracy
Vertically aligned carbon nanofibers (VACNFs) were synthesized using ligand-stabilized Ni nanoparticle (NP) catalysts and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Using chemically-synthesized Ni NPs enables facile preparation of VACNF arrays with

Revealing the Interphase in Polymer Nanocomposites

March 16, 2011
Author(s)
Mauro Zammarano, Paul H. Maupin, Li Piin Sung, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Douglas M. Fox
Morphological characterization of polymer nanocomposites is a fundamental challenge that is complicated by multiple length scales. Here, we report a technique for high-throughput monitoring of interphase and dispersion in polymer nanocomposites based on

Flexure-induced structural and electronic changes in polymer supported membranes of length purified single-wall carbon nanotubes

February 22, 2011
Author(s)
John M. Harris, Ganjigunte R. Iyer, Daneesh O. Simien, Jeffrey Fagan, JiYeon Huh, Jun Y. Chung, Steven Hudson, Jan Obrzut, Jack F. Douglas, Christopher Stafford, Erik K. Hobbie
Thin membranes of length purified single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) are uniaxially compressed by depositing them on prestretched polymer substrates. Upon release of the strain, the topography, microstructure and conductivity of the films are

The Role of Service Life Prediction In Sustainability Determinations

February 14, 2011
Author(s)
Christopher C. White, Kar T. Tan, Donald L. Hunston
Sustainability calculations are based on assumptions about the energy required to produce, transport place in-service items. A critical component of these calculations is the expected service life of the material, component or system. Estimates of the

Effect of interfaces and adhesion on the creep compliance of thin polymer coatings

February 13, 2011
Author(s)
Peter M. Johnson, John A. Howarter, Christopher Stafford
Thin film indentation experiments on viscoelastic materials allowed for the deconvolution of the bulk compliance from interfacial responses at the buried interface. This technique could discriminate both large changes in the interfacial strength due to
