Changes in viscoelastic properties of articular cartilage in early stage of osteoarthritis, as determined by optical coherence tomography-based strain rate tomography

open access: yesBMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2019
Background Biomechanical changes in articular cartilage are associated with the onset of osteoarthritis. We developed an optical coherence tomography-based strain rate tomography method: stress relaxation optical coherence straingraphy (SR-OCSA).

Adaptive 4D‐Printed Vascular Stents With Low‐Temperature‐Activated and Intelligent Deployment

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Microarchitected coronary artery stents were fabricated using a polycaprolactone (PCL)‐based shape memory polymer (SMP) composite via projection micro‐stereolithography (PµSL) 4D printing. By incorporating diethyl phthalate (DEP) as a plasticizer, the thermal transition temperature (Ttran) was modulated to about 37°C, enabling rapid and autonomous ...

Dipole retardation in a mixture of acetamide and calcium nitrate

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2014
The results of investigations of the dielectric properties of an acetamide and calcium nitrate mixture (x_acetam = 0.7644) are presented. They are to be complementary to ultrasonic and viscoelastic studies made previously [4].

Relaxation time spectra of basaltic lavas between 500–1150 °C reveal patterns of Kramers–Kronig inconsistency of the complex viscoelastic shear modulus

open access: yesContributions to Geophysics and Geodesy, 2019
An important, yet until now neglected, aspect of the viscoelastic behaviour of lavas is the Kramers–Kronig consistency of their complex viscoelastic shear modulus.

Astrocyte‐Guided Maturation of Neural Constructs in a Modular Biosynthetic Hydrogel for Biohybrid Neurotechnologies

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A modular biosynthetic PVA–gelatin hydrogel crosslinked via visible‐light thiol‐ene chemistry is engineered as a coating for neural electrodes. Optimizing matrix composition and mechanical properties enables the hydrogel to support astrocytic populations that guide neural differentiation and functional maturation.

The activation energy of viscoelastic deformation of rocks [PDF]

open access: yesGeološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva, 2003
The suggested model, which considers the simultaneous appearance (on the intermolecular scale) of elastic and viscous behaviors of rocks during their viscoelastic deformation, enables the relaxation time, t0, of the viscoelastic deformation energy to be ...

Geometry‐Dependent Adhesion in Transparent Monodomain Liquid Crystal Elastomers

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Liquid Crystal Elastomers (LCEs) are emerging as exciting pressure‐sensitive adhesives. We examine adhesion in chemically identical elastomer films, exploring the influence of geometry (director orientation) and phase (nematic or isotropic). We demonstrate the potential of these aligned films as transparent, tunable, broad‐temperature‐range smart ...

Ultrasonic investigations of 2.ethylhexadiole-1.3. In the region of viscoelastic relaxation

open access: yesArchives of Acoustics, 2016
This paper gives the results of measurements of mechanical shear impedance in 2-ethylhexadiole-1.3., at frequencies of 0.520, 29.9 and 500 MHz. Measurements carried out with transverse waves in the region of viscoelastic relaxation permitted the ...

Bio‐Orthogonally Crosslinked Supramolecular Polymer Bottlebrush Hydrogels for Long‐Term 3D Cell Culture

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous benzenetrispeptide (BTP) hydrogels, fabricated via strain‐promoted azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) crosslinking, form robust, bioinert networks. These hydrogels can support 3D cell culture, where cell viability and colony growth depend on the fiber content.
