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

Systematically Controlling Acceptor Fluorination Optimizes Hierarchical Morphology, Vertical Phase Separation, and Efficiency in Non-Fullerene Organic Solar Cells

November 21, 2021
Author(s)
Guoping Li, Xiaohua Zhang, Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Wei Huang, Ding Zheng, Liang-Wen Feng, Yao Chen, Jianglin Wu, Vinod Sangwan, Mark Hersam, Dean DeLongchamp, Junsheng Yu, Antonio Facchetti, Tobin Marks
Non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) end group (EG) functionalization, especially by fluorination, affects not only the energetics but also the morphology of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cell (OSC) active layers, thereby influencing the power conversion

Activation of Mechanophores in a Thermoset Matrix by Instrumented Scratch

November 17, 2021
Author(s)
Chelsea S. Davis, Jeremiah Woodcock, Ryan Beams, Mitchell Rencheck, Muzhou Wang, Stephan J. Stranick, Aaron M. Forster, Jeffrey Gilman
Scratches in polymer coatings and barrier layers negatively impact optical properties (haze, light transmission, etc.), initiate routes of degradation or corrosion (moisture permeability), and nucleate delamination of the coating. Detecting scratches in

Solvent-cast 3D Printing of Biodegradable Polymer Scaffolds

October 22, 2021
Author(s)
John Tolbert, Diana Hammerstone, Nathaniel Yuchimiuk, Jonathan Seppala, Lesley Chow
Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a popular technique to fabricate scaffolds for tissue engineering because of its ability to produce complex tissue-like architectures. Scaffolds are often 3D printed using biodegradable polymers like poly(caprolactone)

Imperfect Surface Order and Functionalization in Vertical Carbon Nanotube Arrays Probed by Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure Spectroscoy (NEXAFS)

October 12, 2021
Author(s)
T Hemraj-Benny, S Banerjee, S Sambasivan, Daniel A. Fischer, G Eres, Alexander Puretzky, David B. Geohegan, D H. Lowndes, J A. Misewich, S S. Wong
Probing surface order in nanotube systems is of fundamental importance for incorporation of these materials into practical electronic devices. The current study pertains to analysis of the surface orientation of vertically aligned single-walled and multi

Measuring Tie Chains and Trapped Entanglements in Semicrystalline Polymers

September 21, 2021
Author(s)
Amanda G. McDermott, Paul DesLauriers, Jeff Fodor, Ronald L. Jones, Chad R. Snyder
A label-free method for quantifying stress-transmitter (or elastically effective molecule) content (p) in semicrystalline polymers, including both tie molecules and bridging entanglements, is developed and demonstrated based on swelling with deuterated

Side Chain Engineering Control of Mixed Conduction in Oligoethylene Glycol-Substituted Polythiophenes

August 31, 2021
Author(s)
Jonathan Onorato, Zhongyang Wang, Yangyang Sun, Christian Nowak, Ban Dong, Lucas Flagg, Ruipeng Li, Lee J. Richter, Fernando Escobedo, Paul Nealey, Shrayesh Patel, Christine Luscombe
A major limitation for polymeric mixed ionic/electronic conductors (MIECs) is the trade-off between ionic and electronic conductivity; changes made that improve one typically hinder the other. In order to address this fundamental problem, this work

Polarized X-ray scattering measures molecular orientation in polymer-grafted nanoparticles

August 12, 2021
Author(s)
Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Dean DeLongchamp, Eliot Gann, Daniel Sunday, Lee J. Richter, Jason Streit, Richard A. Vaia, Baskar Ganapathysubramanian, Kumar Saurabh, Adarsh Krishnamurthy
Polymer chains are attached to nanoparticle surfaces for many purposes, including altering solubility, influencing aggregation, dispersion, and even tailoring immune responses in drug delivery. The most unique structural motif of polymer-grafted

Temperature-insensitive silicone composites as ballistic witness materials: the impact of water content on the thermophysical properties

July 28, 2021
Author(s)
Ran Tao, Fan Zhang, Huong Giang Nguyen, Philip Bernstein, Amanda L. Forster, Randy Mrozek, Aaron M. Forster
In this work, different formulations of a room-temperature silicone composite backing material (SCBM) composed of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), fumed silica and corn starch were investigated using different characterization techniques, i.e., differential
