Synthesis and Characterization of Poly(ethylene glycol) Dimethacrylate Hydrogels

January 1, 2005
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, S Bencherif, Joseph M. Antonucci, Horkay F. JonesRL
Facile synthesis and detailed characterization of photo-polymerizable and biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDM) and their hydrogels are described. Combined analyses of 1H NMR and MALDI-TOF MS confirmed the formation of prepolymers of

Unusual Multilayered Structures in PEO/Laponite Nanocomposite Films

November 19, 2004
Author(s)
Avinash Dundigalla, Sheng Lin-Gibson, F Ferreiro, M M. Malwitz
The unusual structure of poly-ethylene-oxide and Laponite clay in transparentnanocomposite films was investigated using scanning electron, atomic force, optical microscopy, and X-ray scattering. Each method is sensitive to different aspects of structural

Synthesis and Characterization of PEG Dimethacrylates and their Hydrogels

July 1, 2004
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, S Bencherif, James A. Cooper, S Wetzel, Joseph M. Antonucci, Brandon M. Vogel, F Horkay, N. R. Washburn
Facile synthesis and detailed characterization of photo-polymerizable and biocompatible poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylates (PEGDM) and poly(ethylene glycol) urethane-dimethacrylates (PEGUDM) are described. Poly(ethylene glycol)s of various molecular

Shear-Induced Structure in Polymer-Clay Nanocomposite Solutions

June 1, 2004
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, H W. Kim, G Schmidt, Charles C. Han, Erik K. Hobbie
Abstract: The equilibrium structure and shear response of model polymer-clay nanocomposite gels are measured using X-ray scattering, light scattering, optical microscopy, and rheometry. The suspensions form physical gels via the bridging of neighboring

Ubiquity of Domain Patterns in Sheared Viscoelastic Fluids

June 1, 2004
Author(s)
Erik K. Hobbie, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Haonan Wang, Jai A. Pathak, H W. Kim
We propose a unified explanation of pattern formation in sheared two-phase viscoelastic fluids that fall within the simple paradigm of interacting soft elastic domains suspended in a less viscous fluid under simple shear flow. Three very different systems

Synthesis and Characterization of PEG and PEG Urethane Dimethacrylate Hydrogels

March 1, 2004
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, S Bencherif, James A. Cooper, N. R. Washburn, Joseph M. Antonucci
A key area in the repair and regeneration of tissues is optimizing the polymeric scaffold-tissue response. This study is designated to better understand the relationships between polymer matrix structure and properties to cell response. The current study

Elastic Flow Instability in Nanotube Suspensions

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
Sheng Lin-Gibson, Jai A. Pathak, E A. Grulke, Haonan Wang, Erik K. Hobbie
We report an elastic instability associated with flow-induced clustering in non-Brownian colloidal nanotubes. Rheo-optical measurements are compared with recent simulations of mechanical flocculation in sheared fiber suspensions, and we observe an

Protein and Solvent Dynamics: How Strongly Are They Coupled?

January 1, 2004
Author(s)
G Caliskan, D Mechtani, J H. Roh, A Kisliuk, Alexei Sokolov, S Azzam, Marcus T. Cicerone, Sheng Lin-Gibson, I Peral
Analysis of Raman spectra of protein lysozyme demonstrates that its dynamics follow well the dynamics of solvents glycerol and trehalose. The protein s fast conformational fluctuations and low-frequency vibrations and their temperature variations are very
