Compliant vascular grafts and methods of use

Compliant vascular grafts for implantation in the vasculature are provided. The compliant vascular grafts are designed to expand longitudinally and radially within a blood vessel, such as an artery, and is expected to be particularly well suited for treati ...

Monte Carlo simulations of the static friction between two grafted polymer brushes

Dominic John Tildesley

A configurational bias Monte Carlo method has been developed to study the static friction between grafted polymers immersed in a good solvent. Simple models using the soft quadratic potential from a dissipative particle dynamics study have been used to mod ...

Predictive hydrogeochemical modelling of bauxite residue sand in field conditions

David Andrew Barry, Laurin Wissmeier

The suitability of residue sand (the coarse fraction remaining from Bayer´s process of bauxite refining) for constructing the surface cover of closed bauxite residue storage areas was investigated. Specifically, its properties as a medium for plant growth ...

Sputtering of (001)AlN thin films: Control of polarity by a seed layer

Jürgen Brugger, Nicolas Grandjean, Paul Muralt, Jean-François Carlin, Andreea Veronica Savu, Denis Martin, Scott Harada, Evgeny Milyutin

The authors report on the ability to control the polarity of sputter deposited AlN001 thin ﬁlms using seed layers. Reactive sputter deposition leads to N-polarity on any substrate hitherto applied, i.e., Si111, sapphire, SiO2, and polycrystalline metals su ...

Hydrogeochemical Modelling of Variably Saturated Soils

Laurin Wissmeier

This thesis is about the simulation of flow, transport and geochemical reactions in variably saturated soils. Motivated by the problematic disposal and revegetation of residue from aluminium refining, novel modelling tools for general geochemical reactions ...

Mixed titania-lead oxide seed layers for PZT growth on Pt(111): a study on nucleation, texture and properties

Paul Muralt, Stéphane Hiboux

Growth and properties of sputter in situ sputter deposited Pb(Z,Ti)O-3 (PZT) thin films have been studied on (111)-textured Pt electrodes as a function of seed layers of the type (TiO2)(x)(PbO)(y). The PZT process was run with a limited lead excess resulti ...

Microstructural characterisation of Pb(Zr,Ti)O3 thin films deposited by in-situ reactive sputtering

Paul Muralt, Thomas Maeder

Pb(Zr,Ti)03 thin films with compositions close to the morphotropic phase boundary deposited onto electroded Si substrates have potential for use in ferroelectric memories, sensors and micromechanical devices. The microstructures of such films prepared by i ...
