mDTEB, a new fluorescent label for carbohydrate nano-material in vivo studies

May 27, 2023
Author(s)
Jeremiah Woodcock, Douglas M. Fox, Ilabahen A. Patel, Joy Dunkers, Stephan J. Stranick, Jeffrey W. Gilman
Typical studies of gastral toxicity are conducted using radio labeling. This tends to be quite expensive and difficult owing to the required protocols for working with these materials and the expense of the chemical reagents. A possible alternative is

Micromechanical Compatibility Between Cells and Scaffolds Directs Phenotypic Transition of Stem Cells

January 28, 2022
Author(s)
Yang Song, Jiaoyue Long, Jeremiah Woodcock, Joy Dunkers, Hung Chun Lin, Douglas M. Fox, Xiaoling Liao, Yonggang Lv, Li Yang, Martin Chiang
This study experimentally substantiates the micromechanical compatibility between cell and substrate is essential for cells to achieve energetically favorable mechanotransduction that directs phenotypic transitions. The argument for this compatibility is

Fluorescence Microscopy Reveals Structure-Property Relationships and Polymer Dynamics in Biocomposites

July 21, 2021
Author(s)
Quinn Easter, Shawn Chen, Jeremiah Woodcock, Amanda Souna, Sindhu Seethamraju, Jan Obrzut, Douglas M. Fox, Stephan J. Stranick, Jeffrey Gilman
OBJECTIVES: Developing the next generation of materials for use in restorative work requires a multifaceted approach. While mimicking the properties of the tooth, currently available dental composites and porcelains eventually fail and require replacement

Flourescently labeled cellulose nanofibers for environmental health and safety studies

April 9, 2021
Author(s)
Jeremiah Woodcock, Ilabahen A. Patel, Ryan Beams, Stephan J. Stranick, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Douglas M. Fox, Marina Mulenos, Christie Sayes, Maryam Salari, Deloid Glen, Philip Demokritou, Bryan Harper, Harper Stacey, Ong Kimberly, Jo Anne Shatkin
An optimal methodology for locating and tracking cellulose nanofibers (CNF) in vitro and in vivo is crucial to evaluate the environmental health and safety properties of these nanomaterials. Here, we report the use of a new boron-dipyrromethene (BODIPY)

Intumescent Polydopamine Coatings for Fire Protection

March 9, 2020
Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Whirang Cho, Laura J. Dubrulle, Phillip Grutzmacher, Mauro Zammarano, Douglas M. Fox
Polydopamine coatings containing additional bioderived flame retardants were used as coatings for polyurethane foam and cardboard. The ability to form intumescing coatings was crucial for achieving good flame protection. Dopamine can effectively

Interfaces In Aromatic Polymer-Nanocellulose Composites

March 22, 2019
Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Jeremiah Woodcock, Sindhu Seethamraju, Jeffrey W. Gilman, Katrina Wakeman, Tess Ravick
Formation of well dispersed cellulose – polymer composites is a challenge. This is magnified when preparing composites using nanoscale materials, where the bulk properties are dominated by interfacial properties. In this chapter, synthetic and processing

Hierarchical Cellulose Nanocrystal Blends for Bioinspired Damage Tolerant Photonic Films

May 4, 2018
Author(s)
Bharath NMN Natarajan, Ajay Krishnamurthy, Caglar Dogu Emiroglu, Amanda L. Forster, E. J. Foster, Christoph Weder, Douglas M. Fox, Jan Obrzut, Jeffrey W. Gilman
Attempts to emulate strong and tough natural composites using wood cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) fall short in mechanical performance due to the low shear transfer ability of CNC interfaces in their helicoidal ensembles. This shortcoming is ascribed to the

Epoxy Composites Using Wood Pulp Components as Fillers

November 30, 2016
Author(s)
Douglas M. Fox, Noy Kaufman, Jeremiah W. Woodcock, Jeffrey W. Gilman, John R. Shields, Rick D. Davis, Szabolcs Matko, Mauro Zammarano, Chelsea S. Davis
The components of wood, especially lignin and cellulose, have great potential for improving the properties of polymer composites. In this chapter, we discuss some of the latest developments from our lab on incorporating wood based materials into epoxy
