Nearly total optical transmission of linearly polarized light through transparent electrode composed of GaSb monolithic high-contrast grating integrated with gold by Tobing, Landobasa Yosef Mario, Wasiak, Michal, Zhang, Dao Hua, Fan, Weijun, Czyszanowski, Tomasz

“…Our numerical simulation shows 97% transmission of transverse magnetic polarized light and sheet resistance of 2.2 ωSq-1. The metalMHCG structure was realized via multiple nanopatterning and dry etching, with the largest transmission yet reported of ∼90% at a wavelength of 4.5 μm and above 75% transmission in the wavelength range from 4 to 10 μm and sheet resistance at the level of 26 ωSq-1. …”

Direct reuse of electronic plastic scraps from computer monitor and keyboard to direct stem cell growth and differentiation by Shi, Pujiang, Tan, Chiew Kei, Wu, Zhuoran, Gabriel, Jean-Christophe P., Srinivasan, Madhavi, Lee, Jong-Min, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Specifically, the E-plastics were scavenged from discarded computer components such as light diffuser plate (polyacrylates), prismatic sheet (polyethylene terephthalate), and keyboards (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) were cleaned, sterilized, and systematically characterized to determine the identity of the plastics, chemical constituents, surface features, and leaching characteristics. …”

The bending-stretching effect of a nonlinear elastic beam under finite deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…This effect is present as long as there is finite deformation, even if the material is linearly elastic. A small shear modulus μ and/or a large third-order elastic constant l, m or n will result in a large ξ. …”

Database for dynamic properties of Singapore soils by Leong, Eng Choon.

“…The effects of void ratio, confining pressure and plasticity index on the stiffness-strain relationship of saturated undisturbed soil samples were investigated. It was found that shear modulus increases with increase in plasticity index and confining pressure but decreases with the increase in void ratio. …”

Stress singularity of a notch in a higher-order elastic solid under anti-plane deformation by Wu, Mao See

“…Specifically, for a given notch angle the stress exponent becomes more negative with decrease in the first Lamé constant λ and the third-order elastic constant n, and with the increase in the magnitude of the negative third-order constant m, while it varies non-monotonically with the second Lamé constant (shear modulus) µ.These results have significant implications for notch-like defects in soft solids, e.g., replacement tissues, industrial robots and devices in biomedical applications.…”
