Mussels can obtain strong underwater attachment to virtually all kinds of surfaces including rocks, metals, wood structures, polymers and concretes by secreting mussel foot proteins to form byssus. Great efforts have been dedicated to understanding this behavior and it is found that an catecholic...

Poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide) microgel‐based etalons for determining the concentration of ethanol in gasoline
Download2015-01-01
A device composed of a poly (N‐isopropylacrylamide)‐based microgel layer sandwiched between two thin gold layers was used as a platform for determining the amount of ethanol in gasoline (octane number of 87). This device, also known as an etalon, has unique optical properties, which depend on the...

My Ph.D. research involved the generation of stimuli responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm)-based microgels and the modification of their chemistry to generate a series of pH responsive microgel-based optical devices (etalons). The pH responsivity of the synthesized microgels was used...

Towards a Better Understanding of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Microgel-Based Etalons and their Continued Development in Diagnostics
DownloadFall 2013
Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm) microgel-based etalons are photonic materials that exhibit color based on temperature or other environmental stimuli. These materials provide a new and unique method for biosensing and other applications. Therefore it is important to understand these materials...
