A theoretical quantification of the possible improvement in the mechanical properties of carbon nanotube bundles by carbon ion irradiation

Improvement of single wall carbon nanotube (CNT) bundle mechanical properties through carbon ion irradiation is investigated using molecular dynamics. Increased inter-tube shear and toughness properties through formation of inter-tube cross-links is balanc ...

Optical transmission as a fast and non-destructive tool for determination of ethylene-co-vinyl acetate curing state in photovoltaic modules

Christophe Ballif, Hengyu Li, Laure-Emmanuelle Perret Aebi, Yun Luo

Poly(ethylene-co-vinyl acetate) (EVA) is the primary polymer used for encapsulation of photovoltaic (PV) modules. Its degree of cross-linking (gel content) is taken as a major quality reference. The EVA gel content is normally measured by Soxhlet extractio ...

Surface Modification of Polyimide Thin Films for Peripheral Invasive Neural Interfaces

Silvestro Micera

Despite recognized as one key component for establishing a functional electrical connection with nerves, neural invasive peripheral interfaces are still not optimal for long-term applications in humans. An improvement in the field of biocompatible and nont ...

Synthesis and properties of polymeric analogs of ionic liquids

Jutta Christine Wandrey

A number of methacrylate ionic monomers with different structures and mobilities of ionic centers were synthesized. The free-radical polymerization of these monomers in solution affords high-molecular-mass (M (sD) = 0.5 to 2.5 x 10(6)) thermally stable (T ...

Standing on the shoulders of hermann staudinger: Post-polymerization modification from past to present

Harm-Anton Klok

With a span as long as the history of polymer science itself, post-polymerization modification represents a versatile platform for the preparation of diversely functionalized polymers from a single precursor. Starting with the initial efforts by Staudinger ...

Luminescent latex particles loaded with anionic lanthanide complexes: a versatile platform for multicolour optical coding

Marinella Mazzanti

Luminescent polymer latexes loaded with lanthanide complexes have been synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. A self-assembled europium complex was embedded into poly(methyl methacrylate) nanoparticles without covalent linking and compared to a commer ...

Redox-Responsive, Core-Cross-Linked Micelles Capable of On-Demand, Concurrent Drug Release and Structure Disassembly

Li Tang

We developed camptothecin (CPT)-conjugated, core-cross-linked (CCL) micelles that are subject to redox-responsive cleavage of the built-in disulfide bonds, resulting in disruption of the micellar structure and rapid release of CPT. CCL micelles were prepar ...

Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Waste: An Environmental Assessment Of Recycling, Energy Recovery And Landfilling

Véronique Michaud, Christian Ludwig, Rémy Teuscher, Robert Andrew Witik

The environmental benefits of recycling are assessed against other end-of-life (EOL) treatments for Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) waste. Recycling via pyrolysis, incineration with energy recovery, and disposal via landfilling are compared. To acco ...

A quantitative telomeric chromatin isolation protocol identifies different telomeric states

Joachim Lingner, Romain Hamelin, Florence Armand, Diego Chiappe, Marc Moniatte, Eric Aeby, Larissa Grolimund

Telomere composition changes during tumourigenesis, aging and in telomere syndromes in a poorly defined manner. Here we develop a quantitative telomeric chromatin isolation protocol (QTIP) for human cells, in which chromatin is cross-linked, immunopurified ...
