Self-written waveguides in photopolymerizable resins [PDF]
Opt. Lett. 27, 185-187 (2002), 2001 We study the optically-induced growth and interaction of self-written waveguides in a photopolymerizable resin. We investigate experimentally how the interaction depends on the mutual coherence and relative power of the input beams, and suggest an improved analytical model that describes the growth of single self-written waveguides and the main ...

Transparent and conductive graphene oxide-polyethylenglycol diacrylate coatings obtained by photopolymerization [PDF]
, 2010 Water dispersed graphene oxide sheets were used to prepare graphene-polyethylenglycol diacrylate resin composites by photopolymerization. It was found that graphene sheets undergo excellent morphological distribution within the resin system, giving rise to transparent composites with unaltered thermal properties with respect to the neat resin, that are

Surface and Mechanical studies of Bismaleimide coatings [PDF]
Adv. Eng. Tec. Appl. 5, No. 1, 1 1 - 17 (2016), 2015 Bismaleimide (BMI) resins are a new breed of thermosetting resins used mainly for high temperature applications and have major usage in aerospace. BMI polymer coatings were deposited on aluminum and mild steel substrates. The effect of corrosion on mild steel and aluminum by Ringers Solution and there protection using BMI coatings were observed.

Holocrine Secretion and Kino Flow in Angiosperms: Their Role and Physiological Advantages in Plant Defence Mechanisms [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Kinos are plant exudates, rich in polyphenols, produced by several angiosperms in reaction to damage. They flow out of kino veins, schizolysigenous ducts composing an anatomically distinct continuous system of tangentially anastomosing lacunae produced by the vascular cambium, which encircle the plant. Kino is secreted holocrinously into the vein lumen

Curing and post-curing luminescence in an epoxy resin [PDF]
arXiv, 2006 A spontaneous luminescence is reported when epoxy resin samples are heated in air. This phenomenon is very sensitive to the nature of the atmosphere. The same treatment in nitrogen leads to an extinction of the luminescence. The emission process is restored when samples are kept for a sufficient time in air.

High thermal conductivity of bulk epoxy resin by bottom-up parallel-linking and strain: a molecular dynamics study [PDF]
arXiv, 2018 The ultra-low thermal conductivity (~0.3 Wm-1K-1) of amorphous epoxy resins significantly limits their applications in electronics. Conventional top-down methods e.g. electrospinning usually result in aligned structure for linear polymers thus satisfactory enhancement on thermal conductivity, but they are deficient for epoxy resin polymerized by ...

Novel Bismaleimide Resin/Silsesquioxane and Titania Nanocomposites by the Sol-Gel Process: the Preparation, Morphology, Thermal and Thermo-mechanical Properties [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Bismaleimide(BMI) resin/silsesquioxane or titania nanocomposites were synthesized from bismaleimide resin and SiO3/2 or TiO2 via the sol-gel process of N-{\gamma}-triethoxylsilylpropyl-maleamic acid (TESPMA) or tetrabutyltitanate (Ti(OnBu)4, TBT), respectively, in the presence of the AP-BMI prepolymers.

Digital Light Processing in a Hybrid Atomic Force Microscope: In situ, Nanoscale Characterization of the Printing Process [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Stereolithography (SLA) and digital light processing (DLP) are powerful additive manufacturing techniques that address a wide range of applications including regenerative medicine, prototyping, and manufacturing. Unfortunately, these printing processes introduce micrometer-scale anisotropic inhomogeneities due to the resin absorptivity, diffusivity ...

Fabrication of micro-structures for optically driven micromachines using two-photon photopolymerization of UV curing resins [PDF]
, 2008 Two-photon photopolymerization of UV curing resins is an attractive method for the fabrication of microscopic transparent objects with size in the tens of micrometers range. We have been using this method to produce three-dimensional structures for optical micromanipulation, in an optical system based on a femtosecond laser.

The rheology of ultra-high molecular weight poly(ethylene oxide) dispersed in a low molecular weight carrier [PDF]
Physics of Fluids 1 February 2022; 34 (2): 023304Gel spinning is the industrial method of choice for combining hydrophilic ultra-high molecular weight (UHMW) polymer resins with a hydrophobic support polymer to produce composite filaments for cytapheresis. Cytapheresis is a medical technique for removal of leukocytes from blood.
