Electrical conductivity of multi-walled carbon nanotubes-SU8 epoxy composites

László Forró, Arnaud Magrez, Claudio Grimaldi, Richard Gaal, Marijana Mionic Ebersold

We have characterized the electrical conductivity of the composite which consists of multi-walled carbon nanotubes dispersed in SU8 epoxy resin. Depending on the processing conditions of the epoxy (ranging from non-polymerized to cross-linked), we obtained ...

Postpolymerization Modification of Poly(glycidyl methacrylate) Brushes: An XPS Depth-Profiling Study

Harm-Anton Klok, Vincent Laporte, Raphaël Barbey

Surface-initiated polymerization represents a versatile strategy to modify a diverse range of materials with thin, functional polymer coatings. While in many cases the desired functional groups can be directly incorporated via (co)polymerization of the app ...

Measuring the mesh size of hydrogels

Mohamadreza Nassajian Moghadam

Hydrogels are cross-linked, water-swollen polymer networks that are widely used as a biomaterial. Because of high amount of water, they are mechanically poor and soft. This aspect limits their applications. The suitability of hydrogels as biomedical materi ...

Fabrication of polymer micro-devices based on organic sacrificial pastes

Peter Ryser, Thomas Maeder, Nathalie Sophie Adeline Serra, Olivier Gentsch

We investigate in this work the fabrication of polymer micro-fluidic and micro-mechanical devices based on sublimable compounds as sacrificial layers, using a thick-film screen-printing deposition process. Fabrication of printed polymer microstructures fea ...

Composite Hydrogels for the Replacement of the Nucleus Pulposus

Ana Borges de Couraça

The intervertebral disc (IVD), which provides flexibility to the spine and facilitates damping and motion, is composed of two distinct structures: the annulus fibrosus (AF) and the nucleus pulposus (NP). The AF, which is fibrous and elastic, confines the N ...

Composites and methods for their production

Yves Leterrier, John Christopher Plummer, Marlene Rodlert

Intercalates and exfoliates formed from layered materials and dendritic polymers are disclosed, together with the uses of these materials, e.g. in producing composite materials. The dispersion of layered materials in a dendritic polymer matrix (hyperbranch ...

Functional polymer brushes via surface-initiated controlled radical polymerizations

Stefano Tugulu

The term polymer brush refers to a well defined arrangement of polymer chains, which are tethered with one end to an interface and usually the surface of a solid substrate. Due to steric repulsion the polymer chains furthermore adopt a defined, stretched c ...
