A Semi-Empirical Monte Carlo Method of Organic Photovoltaic Device Performance in Resonant, Infrared, Matrix-Assisted Pulsed Laser Evaporation (RIR-MAPLE) Films
(2015)Utilizing the power of Monte Carlo simulations, a novel, semi-empirical method for investigating the performance of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) in resonant infrared, matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (RIR-MAPLE) ... -
Barnacle cement: a polymerization model based on evolutionary concepts.
(2009-11)The tenacity by which barnacles adhere has sparked a long history of scientific investigation into their adhesive mechanisms. To adhere, barnacles utilize proteinaceous cement that rapidly polymerizes and forms adhesive ... -
Characterization of topographical effects on macrophage behavior in a foreign body response model.
(Biomaterials, 2010-05)Current strategies to limit macrophage adhesion, fusion and fibrous capsule formation in the foreign body response have focused on modulating material surface properties. We hypothesize that topography close to biological ... -
Dual enzymatic formation of hybrid hydrogels with supramolecular-polymeric networks.
(Chemical communications (Cambridge, England), 2014-11)This communication describes a mild construction of hybrid hydrogels with supramolecular-polymeric networks via a dual enzymatic reaction. -
Electrosprayed core-shell microspheres for protein delivery.
(Chem Commun (Camb), 2010-07-14)This communication describes a single-step electrospraying technique that generates core-shell microspheres (CSMs) with encapsulated protein as the core and an amphiphilic biodegradable polymer as the shell. The protein ... -
In situ synthesis of DNA microarray on functionalized cyclic olefin copolymer substrate.
(ACS Appl Mater Interfaces, 2010-02)Thermoplastic materials such as cyclic-olefin copolymers (COC) provide a versatile and cost-effective alternative to the traditional glass or silicon substrate for rapid prototyping and industrial scale fabrication ... -
Inkless microcontact printing on SAMs of Boc- and TBS-protected thiols.
(Nano Lett, 2010-01)We report a new inkless catalytic muCP technique that achieves accurate, fast, and complete pattern reproduction on SAMs of Boc- and TBS-protected thiols immobilized on gold using a polyurethane-acrylate stamp functionalized ... -
Intravital microscopy evaluation of angiogenesis and its effects on glucose sensor performance.
(J Biomed Mater Res A, 2010-06-15)An optical window model for the rodent dorsum was used to perform chronic and quantitative intravital microscopy and laser Doppler flowmetry of microvascular networks adjacent to functional and non-functional glucose sensors. ... -
Multivalent benzoboroxole functionalized polymers as gp120 glycan targeted microbicide entry inhibitors.
(Mol Pharm, 2010-02-01)Microbicides are women-controlled prophylactics for sexually transmitted infections. The most important class of microbicides target HIV-1 and contain antiviral agents formulated for topical vaginal delivery. Identification ... -
Stereocomplexed poly(lactic acid)-poly(ethylene glycol) nanoparticles with dual-emissive boron dyes for tumor accumulation.
(ACS Nano, 2010-09-28)Responsive biomaterials play important roles in imaging, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) containing hydrophobic and hydrophilic segments are one class of biomaterial utilized for these purposes. ...
