Thermography and Weld Strength Characterization of Thermoplastic Extrusion 3D Printing

May 23, 2016
Author(s)
Jonathan E. Seppala, Kaitlyn E. Hillgartner, Chelsea S. Davis, Kalman D. Migler
In fused filament fabrication (FFF), a material extrusion additive manufacturing (AM) method, thermoplastic filament is extruded though a rastering nozzle on prior layers building a 3 dimensional object. The resulting strength of the FFF produced part is

Bottom Up Approaches to Improved Polyolefin Measurements

February 4, 2016
Author(s)
Sara Orski, Thomas W. Rosch, Anthony Kotula, Richard J. Sheridan, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Kalman Migler, Chad R. Snyder, Luis F. Vargas Lara, Jack F. Douglas, Kathryn L. Beers
As a class of materials, polyolefins remain the largest production volume polymer in the world, as well as a highly desirable medium from which to engineer high performance and advanced properties for new applications. After decades of research, there are

Lightweight, flexible, high-performance carbon nanotube cables by scalable flow coating*

January 21, 2016
Author(s)
Nathan D. Orloff, Francesca Mirri, Aaron M. Forster, Rana NMN Ashkar, Robert Headrick, E. A. Bengio, Christian J. Long, April Choi, Yimin Luo, Angela R. Hight Walker, Paul Butler, Kalman D. Migler, Matteo Pasquali
Coaxial cables for data transmission are ubiquitously used in telecommunications, aerospace, automotive and robotics industries. Unfortunately, the metals used to make commercial cables are heavy and stiff. These undesirable traits are particularly

Mesomorphic Pathway in Early Stage Crystallization of Polyethylene

June 18, 2015
Author(s)
Kalman D. Migler, Angela R. Hight Walker, Anthony P. Kotula
The kinetic pathway by which a molten polymer transforms into a multi-length scale semi-crystalline structure upon cooling is an unsolved problem in polymer physics, yet it is critical to the processing, properties and ultimate performance of these

A Microliter Capillary Rheometer for Characterization of Protein Solutions

October 10, 2014
Author(s)
Steven D Hudson, Prasad S. Sarangapani, Kalman D. Migler, Jai A. Pathak
Rheometry is an important characterization tool for therapeutic protein solutions because it determines syringeability and relates indirectly to solution stability and thermodynamic interactions. Despite the maturity of rheometry, there remains a need for

Microfluidics Measurements of Interfacial Rheology

January 18, 2011
Author(s)
Jeffrey D. Martin, Joie N. Marhefka, Kalman D. Migler, Steven D. Hudson
The bulk properties and structural characteristics of emulsions arise substantially from their interfacial rheology, which depends strongly on surfactant mass transfer and its coupling to flow. Typical methods used to measure such properties often employ

lSPR Study of DNA Wrapped Single Wall Carbon Nanotube (ssDNA-SWCNT) Adsorption on a Model Biological (Collagen) Substrate

September 20, 2010
Author(s)
Jung Jin Park, Jeffrey Fagan, JiYeon Huh, Kalman D. Migler, Alamgir Karim, Dharmaraj Raghavan
The kinetics of single stranded-DNA dispersed single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) adsorption onto an immobilized collagen layer in a microfluidic channel was probed using surface plasmon resonance (SPR) imaging. The adsorption was measured for a range of

Development of a MEMS based Dynamic Rheometer

August 31, 2010
Author(s)
Gordon Christopher, Jae M. Yoo, Nicholas G. Dagalakis, Steven D. Hudson, Kalman D. Migler
Rheological methods that interrogate nano-liter scale volumes of fluids and solids have advanced considerably over the past decade, yet there remains a need for methods that probe the frequency dependent complex rheological moduli through application of

Carbon Nanotubes: Measuring Dispersion and Length

August 26, 2010
Author(s)
Jeffrey A. Fagan, Barry J. Bauer, Erik K. Hobbie, Matthew Becker, Angela R. Hight Walker, Jeffrey R. Simpson, Jae H. Chun, Jan Obrzut, Vardhan Bajpai, Frederick R. Phelan Jr., Daneesh O. Simien, JiYeon Huh, Kalman D. Migler
Advanced technological uses of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) rely on the production of single length and chirality populations that are currently only available through liquid phase post processing. The foundation of all of these processing steps
