Models for Saturation Damage State and Interfacial Shear Strengths in Multilayer Coatings

The present work investigates the saturation damage state of a two-layer coating on a substrate (layer 1/layer 2/substrate) under uniaxial tensile loading in order to derive expressions for the interfacial strength between layer 1 and layer 2, and between ...

Comparison of polyethylene wear in anatomical and reversed shoulder prostheses

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Francesco Merlini

Wear of polyethylene is associated with aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants and has been observed in hip and knee prostheses and anatomical implants for the shoulder. The reversed shoulder prostheses have not been assessed as yet. We investigated the ...

A round robin study of flexible large-area roll-to-roll processed polymer solar cell modules

Michael Graetzel, Paul Liska

A round robin for the performance of roll-to-roll coated flexible large-area polymer solar-cell modules involving 18 different laboratories in Northern America, Europe and Middle East is presented. The study involved the performance measurement of the devi ...

Evaluation of thin film adhesion to compliant substrate by the analysis of progressive buckling in fragmentation test

Yves Leterrier

The interface toughness of a thin coating/compliant substrate system is estimated based on the evolution of coating buckle patterns in the fragmentation test. The linear density of coating buckles as a function of applied strain is determined experimentall ...

Supertough UV-curable silane/silica gas barrier coatings on polymers

Yves Leterrier, Bandeep Singh, Gil Rochat

Ultra-thin (10–500 nm) photo-polymerized γ-methacryloxypropyltriethoxysilane (MPMS) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTS) layers applied to SiO2 coatings on polyethylene terephthalate films improved the oxygen barrier performance of the oxide coated films by mor ...

Nitric oxide release from Polydimethylsiloxane-based Polyurethanes

Evelyne Nguyen

In bypass graft surgery, surgeons have turned to synthetic materials such as polyethylene terephthalate (Dacron) and expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) when lacking sufficient and suitable arteries or veins for the procedure. However, due to their lo ...

Resistivity Measurements of Gold Wires Fabricated by Stencil Lithography on Flexible Polymer Substrates

Jürgen Brugger, Luis Guillermo Villanueva Torrijo, Andreea Veronica Savu, Marc Antonius Friedrich van den Boogaart, Oscar Vazquez Mena, Katrin Sidler Arnet

We report on the patterning and characterization of titanium–gold (Ti–Au) wire test structures on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyimide (PI) substrates. PEN, PET and PI are flexible polymers which can withstand stre ...

Mechanical properties of SiOx gas barrier coatings on polyester films

Yves Leterrier

This paper reports the impressive mechanical properties of 1 μm thick carbon-containing SiOx gas barrier coatings, characterised using the uniaxial fragmentation test. Such coatings have been found to act as excellent barriers to water vapour permeation pa ...

Preparation, stabilization and characterization of TiO2 on thin polyethylene films (LDPE): Photocatalytic applications

Albert Renken, Philippe Buffat, Lioubov Kiwi, Juan Kiwi, Andrzej Kulik, Danièle Laub

An innovative way to fix preformed nanocrystalline TiO2 on low-density polyethylene film (LDPE-TiO2) is presented. The LDPE-TiO2 film was able to mediate the complete photodiscoloration of Orange II using about seven times less catalyst than a TiO2 suspens ...
