Enhancement of Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive by CO2 Laser Treatment

Dario Floreano, Jianhang Yang, Jun Shintake, Vivek Ramachandran, Yegor Piskarev, Michael Dickey

Pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSAs) are polymeric films that can be adhered to and detached from surfaces without leaving residue. Researchers are looking to enhance the bond strength between PSAs and different substrates. It can be achieved by tuning PSA' ...

Mechanical Activation of Chemical Bonds at Polymer Interfaces

Julian Nicolas Bleich

Polymer brushes are a specific class of polymer thin films in which each chain is tethered to the underlying substrate via one chain end. In sufficiently densely grafted assemblies, the individual polymer chains are forced into an extended chain conformati ...

Control and Characterization of the Compactness of Single-Chain Nanoparticles

Francesco Stellacci, Luciano Andres Abriata, Lixia Wei, Suiyang Liao

Polymers when self-cross-linked into single-chain nanoparticles bear some resemblance to folded proteins; yet proteins have clear energy landscapes that determine precisely folded structures, while single-chain polymer nanoparticles (SCNPs) have more undef ...
