Effect of crosslinking agent on the two component acrylic structural adhesive based on methyl methacrylate [PDF]
Hypothesis; Acrylic adhesives based on methyl methacrylate are thermoplastic polymers due to their linear polymerization. By adding two or more functional acrylate or methacrylate monomers it is expected that cross-linking may occur partially in leading ...

Cooperative crosslink (un)binding in slowly driven bundles of semiflexible filaments [PDF]
Combining simulations and theory I study the interplay between bundle elastic degrees of freedom and crosslink binding propensity. By slowly driving bundles into a deformed configuration, and depending on the mechanical stiffness of the crosslinking agent, the binding affinity is shown to display a sudden and discontinuous drop.

Theory of Crosslinked Bundles of Helical Filaments: Intrinsic Torques in Self-Limiting Biopolymer Assemblies [PDF]
Inspired by the complex influence of the globular crosslinking proteins on the formation of biofilament bundles in living organisms, we study and analyze a theoretical model for the structure and thermodynamics of bundles of helical filaments assembled in the presence of crosslinking molecules. The helical structure of filaments, a universal feature of

Management of pediatric keratoconus - Evolving role of corneal collagen cross-linking: An update
Pediatric keratoconus demonstrates several distinctive management issues in comparison with adult keratoconus with respect to under-diagnosis, poor compliance and modifications in treatment patterns.

A design framework for actively crosslinked filament networks [PDF]
Living matter moves, deforms, and organizes itself. In cells this is made possible by networks of polymer filaments and crosslinking molecules that connect filaments to each other and that act as motors to do mechanical work on the network. For the case of highly cross-linked filament networks, we discuss how the material properties of assemblies ...

Keratoconus: A biomechanical perspective on loss of corneal stiffness
Keratoconus (KC) is progressive disease of corneal thinning, steepening and collagen degradation. Biomechanics of the cornea is maintained by the intricate collagen network, which is responsible for its unique shape and function.

Harnessing entropy to enhance toughness in reversibly crosslinked polymer networks [PDF]
Reversible crosslinking is a design paradigm for polymeric materials, wherein they are microscopically reinforced with chemical species that form transient crosslinks between the polymer chains. Besides the potential for self-healing, recent experimental work suggests that freely diffusing reversible crosslinks in polymer networks, such as gels, can ...
