Novel Functional Materials via 3D Printing by Vat Photopolymerization

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This Perspective systematically analyzes strategies for incorporating functionalities into 3D‐printed materials via Vat Photopolymerization (VP). It explores the spectrum of achievable functionalities in recently reported novel materials—such as conductive, energy‐storing, biodegradable, stimuli‐responsive, self‐healing, shape‐memory, biomaterials, and

Investment, Tobin's Q, and Multiple Capital Inputs [PDF]

, 1986
Despite their solid theoretical basis, models of business investment based on Tobin's Q theory have recorded a generally disappointing empirical performance. This paper examines one possible source of misspecification. When the firm's technology is expanded to include two or more capital inputs, the investment equation following from maximizing ...

Triblock Polymer Engineering Enables Hydration‐Rich, High‐Performance, Fouling‐Resistant Interfaces

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A molecularly engineered triblock polymer (PHZ) rapidly reorganizes into a hydration‐rich interfacial layer on diverse surfaces, strongly suppressing hydrophobic attraction and fouling. The triblock polymer provides robust energy and steric barriers to oily foulants, enabling high‐performance antifouling at ultralow dosage.

Capital Budgeting: Multiple Criteria

Faslnāmah-i Pizhūhish/Nāmah-i Iqtisādī, 2008
In this article, we propose a model that incorporates the preference of multiple decision makers in to a decision making process using multiple criteria and cardinal method in the capital budgeting context. In this model, all characteristics represent a significant improvement compared with traditional capital budgeting techniques.
