Micro-mechanical deformation mechanisms in the fracture of hybrid-particulate composites based on glass beads, rubber and epoxies
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2000-12)
Two tougheners, glass beads and carboxyl terminated butadiene acrylonitrile copolymer (CTBN), are used to toughen and stiffen an epoxy thermoset. Rubber-encapsulated glass beads are used and the hybrid particulate composites ...
Hydrodynamics and microphase ordering in block copolymers: Are hydrodynamics required for ordered phases with periodicity in more than one dimension?
(The American Institute of Physics, 2004-12-08)
We use Brownian dynamics (BD), molecular dynamics, and dissipative particle dynamics to study the phase behavior of diblock copolymer melts and to determine if hydrodynamics is required in the formation of phases with ...
The interdependence of stress and interdiffusion during solid-state amorphization in Ni-Hf
(Materials Research Society, 2000)
Vapor-based polymer coatings for potential biomedical applications
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2006-12)
Over the last decade, biology and biotechnology have witnessed an extraordinary development spanning genomics, proteomics, and metabolics. This progress was so rapid and definite that it not only changed the face of modern ...
Soluble InP and GaP Nanowires: Self-Seeded, Solution–Liquid–Solid Synthesis and Electrical Properties
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2009-04-27)
A facile, self-seeded , solution–liquid–solid growth of soluble InP and GaP nanowires with a very low amount of native point defects with respect to the carrier concentrations have been synthesized (see scheme) and ...
Role of preheating and specific energy input on the evolution of microstructure and wear properties of laser clad Fe-Cr-C-W alloys
(Kluwer Academic Publishers; Springer Science+Business Media, 2000-07)
Synthesis of Fe-Cr-C-W alloy (10 : 4 : 1 : 1, wt(%)) was carried out on AISI 1016 steel substrate using laser cladding technique which lead to the development of a suitable alternate for cobalt bearing wear resistant alloys. ...
Ring-opening polymerization of epoxy end-terminated poly(ethylene oxide) as a route to highly crosslinked materials with exceptional swelling behavior (II)
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., 2007-08)
Highly swellable poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) gels were prepared by anionic ring-opening polymerization of diepoxy end-capped PEO (3400 g mol −1 ) and PEO (8000 g mol −1 ) using dianionic glycerol and glycolic acid initiators ...
Fuel Cell Membrane Electrode Assemblies Fabricated by Layer-by-Layer Electrostatic Self-Assembly Techniques We acknowledge the UM OVPR office for a faculty seed grant awarded to the first author. We also thank Professor Phillip Savage for generous use of lab space and equipment.
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2008-10-09)
High activity, carbon supported Pt electrocatalysts were synthesized using a supercritical fluid method and a selective heterogeneous nucleation reaction to disperse Pt onto single walled carbon nanotube and carbon fiber ...
Synthetic nano-fibrillar extracellular matrices with predesigned macroporous architectures
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2000-11)
Scaffolding plays a pivotal role in tissue engineering. To mimic the architecture of a natural extracellular matrix component—collagen, nona-fibrous matrices have been created with synthetic biodegradable polymers in our ...
Multicompartmental Microcylinders
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2009-06-08)
FarbenprÄchtige SÄulen : Eine einfache und dabei skalierbare Methode zur Herstellung multikompartimentalisierter Mikrozylinder, bei denen innerer Aufbau, SeitenverhÄltnis und OberflÄche gezielt eingestellt werden kÖnnen, ...
