Polymer-coated metals are ubiquitous in multiple industries as a corrosion protection strategy. Particularly food and beverage packaging, bisphenol A (BPA)-based epoxy coatings provide an excellent barrier strong adhesion to metals. There is, however, need design safer, alternative with similar BPA-epoxies due environmental health concerns associated BPA. Limited critical information exists on epoxy-metal interactions the effect of interfacial functional group concentration overall...
A recurring challenge in extracting energy from ambient motion is that devices must maintain high harvesting efficiency and a positive user experience when the interface undergoing dynamic compression. We show small amphiphiles can be used to tune friction, haptics, triboelectric properties by assembling into specific conformations on surfaces of materials. Molecules form multiple slip planes under pressure, especially through π-π stacking, produce 80 90% lower friction than those disordered...
We study the interfacial energy parameters that explain reinforcement of polymers with nanodiamond (ND) and development mechanical strength electrospun ND-reinforced composites. Thermodynamic such as wettability ratio, work spreading dispersion/aggregation transition are used to derive a criterion predict dispersibility carboxylated ND (cND) in polymeric matrices. Such for dispersion (Dc) is applied cND-containing poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polystyrene (PS) fiber The...
