Defining Chi for Block Copolymer Lithography

January 11, 2023
Author(s)
Whitney Loo, Hongbo Feng, Thomas Ferron, Ricardo Ruiz, Daniel Sunday, Paul Nealey
Block copolymer lithography, such as directed self-assembly, requires the design of nanostructured block copolymers with precise values of segregation strength, 20≤χN≤25, in order to balance covarying material properties and meet manufacturing requirements

Measuring Dimensionality of Cell-Scaffold Contacts of Primary Human Bone Marrow Stromal Cells Cultured on Electrospun Fiber Scaffolds

January 1, 2023
Author(s)
Carl Simon Jr., Peter Bajcsy, Joe Chalfoun, Michael Paul Majurski, Mary C. Brady, Mylene Simon, Nathan Hotaling, Nick Schaub, Allison Horenberg, Piotr Szczypinski, Dongbo Wang, Veronica DeFelice, Soweon Yoon, Stephanie Florczyk
The properties and structure of the cellular microenvironment can influence cell behavior. Sites of cell adhesion to the extracellular matrix (ECM) initiate intracellular signaling that direct cell functions such as proliferation, differentiation and

Characterizing light engine uniformity and its influence on LCD-based vat photopolymerization printing

December 27, 2022
Author(s)
Benjamin Caplins, Callie Higgins, Thomas Kolibaba, Uwe Arp, C Cameron Miller, Dianne L. Poster, Clarence Zarobila, Yuqin Zong, Jason Killgore
Vat photopolymerization (VP) is a rapidly growing category of additive manufacturing. As VP methods mature the expectation is that the quality of printed parts will be highly reproducible. At present, detailed characterization of the light engines used in

Self-Assembled Asperities for Pressure Tunable Adhesion

December 16, 2022
Author(s)
Naomi Deneke, Jamie Booth, Edwin P. Chan, Chelsea S. Davis
Control of adhesive strength is important in applications such as soft robotics, pick-and-place manufacturing, flexible and wearable devices, and transfer printing. Due to the diversity of material types, these systems can potentially benefit from adhesive

Visualization of multi-orientational ordering within a single domain of donor non-fullerene acceptor blends

November 1, 2022
Author(s)
Eliot Gann, Christopher McNeill, Urvashi Bothra, Pramiti Hui, Wen Liang Tanc, Hariprasad Venugopal, Chandramouli Subramaniam, Amelia C.Y. Liu, Dinesh Kabra
We have studied the tailored micron-scale phase-separated bulk heterojunction (BHJ) morphology of the well-known polymer (PTB7-Th) and a narrow bandgap acceptor 2,2'-[[4,4,9,9-Tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)-4,9-dihydro-s-indaceno [1,2-b:5,6-b']dithiophene-2,7

Networks and interfaces as catalysts for polymer materials innovation

October 27, 2022
Author(s)
Michael Deagen, Dylan Walsh, Debra Audus, Kenneth Kroenlein, Juan de Pablo, Kaoru Aou, Kyle Chard, Klavs Jensen, Bradley Olsen
Autonomous experimental systems offer a compelling glimpse into a future where closed-loop, iterative cycles—performed by machines and guided by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML)—play a foundational role in materials research and

Simulated stress mitigation strategies in embedded 3D bioprinting

August 30, 2022
Author(s)
Leanne Friedrich, Ross Gunther, Jonathan Seppala
Extrusion-based 3D bioprinting is a powerful tool for fabricating complex cell-laden constructs. Embedded Ink Writing (EIW) is an extrusion-based printing technique wherein a nozzle embedded into a support bath writes continuous filaments. Because it

Leveraging Theory for Enhanced Machine Learning

August 26, 2022
Author(s)
Debra Audus, Austin McDannald, Brian DeCost
The application of machine learning to the materials domain has traditionally struggled with two major challenges: a lack of large, curated data sets and the need to understand the physics behind the machine-learning prediction. The former problem is
