Enhancement of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive by CO2 Laser Treatment

Dario Floreano, Vivek Ramachandran, Yegor Piskarev, Jun Shintake, Michael Dickey, Jianhang Yang

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are polymeric films that can be adhered to and detached from surfaces without leaving residue. Researchers are looking to enhance the bond strength between PSAs and different substrates. It can be achieved by tuning PSA' ...

Engineering polymers with improved charge transport properties from bithiophene-containing polyamides

Rosario Scopelliti, John Christopher Plummer, Farzaneh Fadaei Tirani, Holger Frauenrath, Nicolas Candau, Bilal Özen

Polymer semiconductors show unique combinations of mechanical and optoelectronic properties that strongly depend on their microstructure and morphology. Here, we have used a model pi-conjugated bithiophene repeat unit to incorporate optoelectronic function ...

Small Molecule Activation by Multimetallic Uranium Complexes

Marta Falcone

The development of new processes for the selective and sustainable transformation of abundant small molecules constitutes one of the major research areas in inorganic and organometallic chemistry. These molecules as CO2, CO, N2 and H2 are abundant reservoi ...

Screening method for the onset of bonding of molten polyamide resin layers to continuous fiber reinforced laminate sheets

Martyn Douglas Wakeman

Thermoplastic polymer composites (TPC) with multiple fabric layers of continuous fiber reinforcement are laminate sheets designed to be thermally stamped and overmolded leading to low cycle times and thus high volume composite parts. Injection over-molding ...

Bond-behavior study of newly developed bamboo-composite reinforcement in concrete

Ian Smith, Mateusz Barnaba Wielopolski

Bamboo is a rapid growing, affordable and available natural resource in many developing countries. It is potentially superior to timber and to construction steel in terms of its weight to strength ratio. A new technology has been developed in this research ...
