Coacervates derived from mussel foot proteins by Guo, Qi

“…CD and FTIR spectra also characterized the formation of localized β-sheet structures with the addition of salts. To further understand the specific roles of amino acids to the molecular level, several GK-16 variants were designed with a series of amino acid substituents. …”

Mechanical behaviors of individual core-shell microspheres and their polymeric composites under different strain rates by Zhang, Xin

“…The core material may also influence the properties of core-shell structure. Since Shear thickening fluid (STF) can transfer from liquid state to solid state during impact, it can diversify the application of core-shell microspheres. …”

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. …”

Colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diode architectures for high performance by Leck, Kheng Swee

“…In addition, in the thesis, we used gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) to replace tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) used as the electrode in QD-LEDs due to the increasingly expensive raw materials of ITO. The lowest sheet resistance and resistivity of the radio-frequency (RF) sputtered GZO films are 12.28 Ω/□ and 9.48×10-4 Ω·cm, respectively, comparable to those of commercial grade ITO. …”

Synthesis of epoxidized poly(ester carbonate)-b-polyimide-b-poly(ester carbonate) : reactive single-walled carbon nanotube dispersants enable synergistic reinforcement around multi... by Liu, Bo, Liu, Chengyin, De Luca, Hugo G., Raman Pillai, Suresh Kumar, Anthony, David B., Li, Jianghua, Bismarck, Alexander, Shaffer, Milo S. P., Chan-Park, Mary Bee Eng

“…The ultimate interfacial shear strength between the TB3-dispersed SWNT-epoxy matrix and the fuzzy carbon fibers (i.e., fibers having carbon nanotubes grown on them) measured via single fiber pull-out tests was 100 MPa, which was ca. 11% improvement over the baseline unsized carbon fiber in neat epoxy. …”

Interfacial mechanics investigation of transmission components under non-Newtonian lubrication conditions by Bai, Xueyu

“…The lubricant velocity and shear rate are derived by using the separation flow method to account for the non-Newtonian rheological properties of the lubricants. …”

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. …”

Smart material based on magnetorheological elastomer and its 3D printing by Bastola, Anil K.

“…The 3D printability of different materials has been studied by measuring their rheological properties and it was found that the highly shear thinning, and thixotropic properties are important for 3D printability. …”

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. …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…Such “non-visible” notes are marked by a Tibetan style of asterisk, and will become visible with a “mouse-over”.9 The specifically codicological notes can be clicked on within the catalogue at the appropriate place, and, apart from notes which might affect a few syllables of text (eg. if there is a single hole in the sheet where some syllables from a chapter title occur), they are also gathered together with descriptions of the first few folia in the Codicological Information section at the front of each volume entry (see above). …”
