Chemically Modified Graphene Films with Tunable Negative Poisson’s Ratios
(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-06-04)Graphene-derived macroscopic assemblies feature hierarchical nano- and microstructures that provide numerous routes for surface and interfacial functionalization achieving unconventional material properties. We report that ... -
A Multiscale Model to Study the Enhancement in the Compressive Strength of Multi-Walled CNT Sheet Overwrapped Carbon Fiber Composites
The high tensile strength of polymer matrix composites is derived primarily from the high strength of the carbon fibers embedded in the polymer matrix. However, their compressive strength is generally much lower due to the ... -
Scalable, Hydrophobic and Highly-Stretchable Poly(Isocyanurate-Urethane) Aerogels
Scalable, low-density and flexible aerogels offer a unique combination of excellent mechanical properties and scalable manufacturability. Herein, we report the fabrication of a family of low-density, ambient-dried and ... -
Structural, Elastic, Thermal, and Electronic Responses of Small-Molecule-Loaded Metal-Organic Framework Materials
We combine infrared spectroscopy, nano-indentation measurements, and ab initio simulations to study the evolution of structural, elastic, thermal, and electronic responses of the metal-organic framework MOF-74-Zn when ... -
Luminescent LaF₃:Ce-Doped Organically Modified Nanoporous Silica Xerogels
Organically modified silica compounds (ORMOSILs) were synthesized by a sol-gel method from amine-functionalized 3-aminopropyl triethoxylsilane and tetramethylorthosilicate and were doped in situ with LaF3:Ce nanoparticles, ... -
Fluorescent stereo microscopy for 3D surface profilometry and deformation mapping
Recently, mechanobiology has received increased attention. For investigation of biofilm and cellular tissue, measurements of the surface topography and deformation in real-time are a pre-requisite for understanding the ... -
Polydicyclopentadiene Aerogels Grafted With PMMA: II. Nanoscopic Characterization and Origin of Macroscopic Deformation
Polydicyclopentadiene (pDCPD) is a polymer of emerging technological significance from separations to armor. It is a paradigm of ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and should be an ideal candidate for strong ... -
