Adhesive bonding to dentin improved by polymerizable cyclodextrin derivatives

January 5, 2009
Author(s)
Rafael L. Bowen, Gary E. Schumacher, Anthony A. Giuseppetti, Kathleen M. Flynn, Charles M. Guttman, Clifton M. Carey
Objectives. Determine bonding characteristics of a hydrophilic monomer formulation containing PCDs (Polymerizable Cyclodextrin Derivatives). The hypothesis was that a formulation containing hydrophilic cross-linking diluent comonomers and PCD molecules

ADVANCED NON-DESTRUCTIVE HYDROGEN SENSORS TO PREVENT MATERIAL DEGRADATION FROM HYDROGEN DAMAGE

January 5, 2009
Author(s)
Angelique N. Lasseigne, Kamalu Koenig, David Olson, Brajendra Mishra, Joshua Jackson, Thomas A. Siewert, Joseph D. McColskey
New higher strength pipeline steels (X100 and X120) exhibit lower tolerance for hydrogen (diffusible and formed hydrides) before significant degradation or failure occurs. It is essential to have advanced sensors to monitor the hydrogen content and

MATRIX RELAXATION AFTER FRACTURE IN A TOUGHENED EPOXY

December 10, 2008
Author(s)
Aaron M. Forster, Cyril Clerici, Donald L. Hunston
An efficient method to increase the Mode I fracture energy of a polymer adhesive is to incorporate a rubbery phase within the glassy matrix. In general, the failure surface of a toughened polymer is characterized by cavitated rubber particles and plastic

Self-Assembly in a Polymer Matrix and its Impact on Phase Separation

November 11, 2008
Author(s)
Jack F. Douglas, Jacek Dudowicz, Karl Freed
Molecular self-assembly often occurs in the presence of long chain polymers, and we develop a theory to describe the competition between self-assembly and phase separation that gen- erally occurs in these complex uids. The theory includes a description of

MATERIALS SCIENCE: Nanoscale Polymer Processing

October 31, 2008
Author(s)
Christopher L. Soles, Yifu Ding
Plastics are ubiquitous in our modern world. It difficult to find a manufactured object that does not contain at least some sort polymeric (plastic) components. This ubiquity, in large part, reflects the ease with which polymers can be formed at low

Well-Ordered Polymer Melts with 5 nm Lamellar Domains from Blends of a Disordered Block Copolymer and a Selectively Associating Homopolymer of Low or High Molar Mass

October 16, 2008
Author(s)
Vijay Tirumala, August W. Bosse, Eric K. Lin, Vikram Daga, Alvin Romang, Jan Ilavsky, J J. Watkins
The use of short chain block copolymer melts as nanostructured templates for sub-10 nm domains is often limited by their low segregation strength (N). Since increasing molar mass to strengthen segregation also increases the interdomain spacing of block

Hollow spherical supramolecular dendrimers

October 1, 2008
Author(s)
Virgil Percec, Mihai Peterca, Andres E. Dulcey, Mohammad Imam, Steven Hudson, Sami Nummelin, Peter Adelman, Paul A. Heiney
The synthesis of a library containing 12 conical dendrons that self-assemble into hollow spherical supramolecular dendrimers is reported. The design principles for this library were accessed by development of a method that allows the identification of

Effects of Specimen Geometry on Fatigue-Crack Growth Rates in Pipeline Steels

September 29, 2008
Author(s)
John M. Treinen, Philippe P. Darcis, Joseph D. McColskey, R. Smith, J. Merritt
In this study, the effect of specimen geometry on the fatigue crack growth rates (FCGR) in API X65 and X100 pipeline steels was explored using the middle tension and compact tension specimen geometries. It was found that the specimen type has little

New Insight into NBTI Transient Behavior Observed from Fast-GM Measurements

September 1, 2008
Author(s)
Jason P. Campbell, Kin P. Cheung, John S. Suehle
Fast-IDVG measurements have become an increasingly important tool to examine MOSFET transient degradation. The threshold voltage (VTH) extracted from fast-IDVG measurements is often used to infer the transient behavior of trapped charged in the gate

Band offsets of atomic-layer-deposited Al2O3 on GaAs and the effects of surface treatment.

August 27, 2008
Author(s)
Nhan V. Nguyen, Oleg A. Kirillov, Weirong Jiang, Wenyong Wang, John S. Suehle, P. D. Ye, Y. Xuan, N. Goel, Kwang-Woo Choi, Wilman Tsai
In this letter we report the band offsets of the Al/Al2O3/GaAs structure determined by internal photoemission and spectroscopic ellipsometry. The energy barrier height at the Al2O3 and sulfur-passivated GaAs interface is found to be 3.0 eV, which is

CTOA Results for X65 and X100 Pipeline Steels:Influence of Displacement Rate

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Roni Reuven, Christopher N. McCowan, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Avigdor Shtechman, Philippe P. Darcis, John M. Treinen, R. Smith, J. Merritt, Thomas A. Siewert, Joseph D. McColskey
The toughness and plasticity of steel generally decreases with increasing testing rate. The crack tip opening angle (CTOA) was measured on two types of commercial pipeline steels, API-X65 and API-X100 at a range of displacement rates to characterize rate

Dynamic Apparatus for the CTOA Measurement in Pipeline Steels

August 1, 2008
Author(s)
Avigdor Shtechman, Christopher N. McCowan, Roni Reuven, Elizabeth S. Drexler, Philippe P. Darcis, John M. Treinen, R. Smith, J. Merritt, Thomas A. Siewert, Joseph D. McColskey
When a crack initiates and propagates in a pressurized pipe the only thing that might stop this high-velocity event is the release of internal pressure (decompression) resulting in a deceleration in the crack-propagation rate. This deceleration can be
