Ceramics Lubrication

July 1, 2003
Author(s)
Stephen M. Hsu, Richard S. Gates, D E. Deckman
ramics are hard, brittle, and chemically inert under most environments. They wear by abrasion and fracture. Since brittle fracture is very sensitive to stress intensity factors, ceramic wear is dominated by stress intensity at various scales. Under mild

Isostructural Self-Assembled Monolayers, Part 1. Octadecyl 1-thiaoligo(ethylene oxides)

April 1, 2003
Author(s)
David J. Vanderah, Richard S. Gates, Vitalii I. Silin, D N. Zeiger, John T. Woodward IV, Curtis W. Meuse, Gintaras Valincius, B Nickel
The self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a series of octadecyl 1-thiaoligo(ethylene oxide)x disulfides {[S(CH 2CH 2O) xC 18H 37] 2}, where x = 4 to 8, were assembled on gold and characterized by reflection-adsorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS)

Helical, Disordered, and What that Means: Structural Characterization of a New Series of Methyl 1-Thiaoligo(Ethylene Oxide) Self-Assembled Monolayers

September 1, 2002
Author(s)
David J. Vanderah, J Arsenault, H La, Vitalii I. Silin, Curtis W. Meuse, Richard S. Gates
Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of a series of linear thiols containing a 1-thiaoligo(ethylene oxide) [TOEO] moiety, i.e., HS(CH2CH2O)xCH3, where x = 3 - 6, were prepared on polycrystalline gold (Au) and characterized by reflection adsorption infrared

Scaling Issues in the Measurement of Monolayer Films

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Stephen M. Hsu, P M. McGuiggan, J Zhang, Y L. Wang, F Yin, Y P. Yeh, Richard S. Gates
An atomic force microscope (AFM), a surface forces apparatus (SFA), and a ball-on-inclined plane (BOIP) apparatus were used to measure the mechanical properties of thin films. The frictional force (lateral resistance) of a set of four samples with

Chemo-Mechanical Machining of Ceramics

October 1, 1999
Author(s)
Richard S. Gates, Stephen M. Hsu
Chemically assisted machining of ceramics is a way to remove ceramic materials rapidly using chemical reactions at the interface between the tool and the workpiece. Two effects are observed: chemical reactions that react with he workpiece forming an easily
