Strain engineering of antimonene by a first-principles study : mechanical and electronic properties by Kripalani, Devesh Raju, Kistanov, Andrey A., Cai, Yongqing, Xue, Ming, Zhou, Kun

“…The upper region of its valence band is found to solely consist of lone pair p-orbital states, which are by nature more delocalized than the d-orbital states in transition metal dichalcogenides, implying superior transport performance of antimonene. The Young's and shear moduli of β-antimonene are observed to be ∼25% higher than those of bulk antimony, while the hexagonal lattice constant of the monolayer reduces significantly (∼5%) from that in bulk, indicative of strong interlayer coupling. …”

Efficacy of riprap design for protection of quay structures against propeller-induced scouring by Tan, Qin Xiang

“…Rock stability tests were conducted to determine the critical efflux velocity of the propeller jet when shear failure of the riprap was observed. The critical efflux velocity measured from the experiments were subsequently compared with the critical efflux velocity predicted using the German and Dutch methods. …”

Organic solvent-assisted control of hydrogel structures and properties by Zhou, Quan

“…This became possible for the following two reasons: 1) the addition of ethanol makes SA solution exhibit the upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behavior in which gelation occurred when the temperature was reduced below the sol-to-gel transition temperature, and 2) the presence of ethanol significantly increased the viscosity of SA solution and enhanced its shear-thinning feature, thus making it ideal for 3D printing. …”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…Finally, to demonstrate potential applications, the proposed CaproGlu bioadhesive is mixed with osseointegrative additive to form a bone cement biocomposite using a model PMMA pin that allows biocomposite curing through a transparent light guide, with resulting lap shear strength up to 40 kPa. Overall, this diazirine-based adhesive system demonstrates a novelty in adhesive design where excellent tunability in material properties can be achieved by modifying composition (adding liquid polymer or solid particles) and light activation parameters (power, wavelength) with direct application towards soft and hard tissue adhesion.…”

Ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials probed by time-and-momentum-resolved techniques by Su, Yifan

“…In this part of the thesis, I will introduce a new pathway for launching coherent acoustic phonons: magnetostriction, and discuss the spin-mediated shear oscillator enabled by this mechanism in van der Waals antiferromagnet. …”

Nonequilibrium hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Yusheng

“…The first one is the systems stemmed from random organization (RO) dynamics, which is a model originally proposed to describe the chaotic particle motion in sheared non-Brownian suspensions. The subsequent one is the hyperuniform systems found in active particle systems, including hyperuniform reactive particle fluids and the chiral active brownian systems and biological algae systems, etc. …”

Development of schlieren-image based flow diagnostics and analysis for supersonic jet flows by Lim, Desmond Haoxiang

“…When compared against PIV results, the much higher spatial and temporal resolution of SIVOF resulted in sharper and clearer vortical structures that can be tracked across several time-resolved frames. An embedded shear layer resulting from subsonic flow downstream of a 0.9 mm diameter Mach disk was also observed, which is testament to the high-fidelity flow field offered by SIVOF. …”
