Toughening Elastomers with Sacrificial Bonds and Watching Them Break [PDF]
Science, 2014 Toughening Up Elastomers Elastomers are soft polymer materials widely used in industry and daily life. Inspired by recent work on double-network hydrogels, Ducrot et al. (p. 186 ; see the Perspective by Gong

Precision enhanced alignment bonding technique with sacrificial strategy
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023 This work proposes an “N2-1” sacrificial strategy to help to improve the accuracy of the bonding technique from the existing level. The target micropattern is copied N2 times, and (N2-1) of them are sacrificed to obtain the most accurate alignment.

Dynamics of polymer molecules with sacrificial bond and hidden length systems: towards a physically-based mesoscopic constitutive law. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We investigate the entropic force-elongation behavior of a polymer chain in the presence of the sacrificial bond and hidden length (SBHL) system observed experimentally in many biomaterials.

UV-enhanced sacrificial layer stabilised graphene oxide hollow fibre membranes for nanofiltration [PDF]
, 2015 Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have demonstrated great potential in gas separation and liquid filtration. For upscale applications, GO membranes in a hollow fibre geometry are of particular interest due to the high-efficiency and easy-assembly features at

Sacrificial bonds heal bone [PDF]
Nature, 2001 The toughness of bone is usually attributed to its collagen, but how does it work? New evidence shows that molecular bonds can temporarily sacrifice themselves to absorb impacts.

Sacrificial wafer bonding for planarization after very deep etching [PDF]
Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 1995 A technique is presented that provides planarization after a very deep etching step in silicon. This offers the possibility for not only resist spinning and layer patterning but also for realization of bridges and cantilevers across deep grooves or holes.
