Critical Issues in the Characterization of Polymers for Medical Applications

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
Walter G. McDonough, Eric J. Amis, J Kohn
On June 14, 2000, the New Jersey Center for Biomaterials and the Polymers Division of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) co-sponsored a one-day workshop on Critical Issues in the Characterization of Polymers for Medical Applications

Flux Pinning of Bi 2 Sr 2 CaCu 2 O 8+g /Ag Superconductors Utilizing (Sr,Ca) 14 Cu 24 O 41 Defects and Nanophase Al 2 O 3 and Au Particles

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
T J. Haugan, Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Lawrence P. Cook, H J. Brown, L Swartzendruber, D T. Shaw
Investigations into flux pinning of Bi 2Sr 2 CaCu 2O 8+γ /Ag (Bi-2212/Ag) thick film conductors utilizing micron-sized (Sr,Ca) 14Cu 24O 41 and nanophase Al 2O 3 and Au particles are described. Addition of defect particles delayed and reduced formation of

In-Situ Observation of Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering by Dislocations

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
Lyle E. Levine, Gabrielle G. Long, R Thomson
Ultra-small-angle X-ray scattering by dislocations in single-crystal aluminum has been observed in situ as a function of plastic deformation. The scattering is observed to be strongly dependent upon sample orientation, with single dislocations, dislocation

Modeling of Stable and Unstable Polarization Switching

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
H Kessler, Lin-Sien H. Lum, H Balke
We examine the stability of polarization switching in polyscrystalline ferroelectric/ferroelastic materials subject to continuous electromechanical loading. In case of unstable switching, a finite change of remanent polarization or strain results from an

Multilevel Structure of Reinforcing Silica and Carbon

June 1, 2000
Author(s)
D W. Schaefer, T Rieker, M M. Agamalian, J S. Lin, Daniel A. Fischer, S Sukumaran, C I. Chen, G Beaucage, C Herd, J Ivie
We study the structure of colloidal silica and carbon on length scales from 0.25 -1 7 using x-ray, neutron and light scattering. These materials consist of primary particles of the order of 100 , aggregated into micrometer-sized aggregates that in turn are

A Test Method for Assessing Interfacial Shear Strength in Composites

May 1, 2000
Author(s)
Gale A. Holmes, Donald L. Hunston, Walter G. McDonough, R C. Peterson
Two of the critical factors controlling the long-term performance and durability of composites in structural applications is the fiber-matrix interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and the durability of the fiber-matrix interface. The single fiber fragmentation

Interfacial Response of a Fluorescent Dye Grafted to Glass

April 12, 2000
Author(s)
Joy P. Dunkers, Jospeh L. Lenahrt, J Van Zanten, Richard~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined~undefined Parnas
The properties of an epoxy/glass interfacial region are studied by covalently grafting a fluorescent probe to the glass surface. A dimethylaminonitrostilbene fluorophore is tethered to a triethoxysilane-coupling agent, generating a fluorescently labeled

MALDI-TOF MS Analysis of a Library of Polymerizable Cyclodextrin Derivatives

April 1, 2000
Author(s)
Rafael L. Bowen, M Farahani, Sabine H. Dickens, Charles M. Guttman
Polymerizable cyclodextrin derivatives (PCDs) have been proposed as candidates for use in dental therapeutics (Bowen, 1996 and Bowen and Reed, 1997). Here PCD libraries were synthosized by quasi-random reactions of 6 moles of methacrylic anhydride plus 7

Polymer Division Technical Activities - 1999

April 1, 2000
Author(s)
Eric J. Amis, B M. Fanconi
Technical activities of the Polymers Division, 854, for the 1999 fiscal year are described. The report is organized by programs: Electronic Packaging, Interconnection and Assembly; Polymer Blends and Processing; Polymer Composites; Polymer Characterization

Vapor Pressure of the SrPbO 3 Perovskite Phase

April 1, 2000
Author(s)
Lawrence P. Cook, Winnie K. Wong-Ng
The perovskite phase SrPbO 3 is important as a buffer and indicator of PbO chemical potential (at fixed p O2 ) according to the reaction: 2 SrPbO 3 --> Sr 2PbO 4 + PbO(g) + 1/2 O2 (g), where the term PbO(g) includes several Pb-containing gaseous species
