Macromolecules Innovation Institute June 2021 e-Newsletter
(Virginia Tech, 2021-06)
This is the first edition of the quarterly newsletter for the Macromolecules Innovation Institute (MII).
Issues related to least-squares finite element methods for the stokes equations
(Siam Publications, 1998-10)
Least-squares finite element methods have become increasingly popular for the approximate solution of first-order systems of partial differential equations. Here, after a brief review of some existing theories, a number ...
Shape Sensitivity Analysis in Flow Models Using a Finite-Difference Approach
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
Reduced-order models have a number of practical engineering applications for unsteady flows that require either low-dimensional approximations for analysis and control or repeated simulation over a range of parameter values. ...
Comment on "A numerical study of periodic disturbances on two-layer Couette flow" [Phys. Fluids 10, 3056 (1998)]
(AIP Publishing, 1999-10)
The flow of fluids with different viscosities, subjected to an interfacial perturbation, can lead to fingering and migration...
Oil-Impregnated Hydrocarbon-Based Polymer Films
(Springer Nature, 2018-08-03)
Porous surfaces impregnated with a liquid lubricant exhibit minimal contact angle hysteresis with immiscible test liquids, rendering them ideal as self-cleaning materials. Rather than roughening a solid substrate, an ...

Nanoscale Bacteria‐Enabled Autonomous Drug Delivery System (NanoBEADS) Enhances Intratumoral Transport of Nanomedicine
(Wiley, 2018-12-05)
Cancer drug delivery remains a formidable challenge due to systemic toxicity and inadequate extravascular transport of nanotherapeutics to cells distal from blood vessels. It is hypothesized that, in absence of an external ...
Biodegradable Poly(Lactic Acid) Nanocomposites for Fused Deposition Modeling 3D Printing
(MDPI, 2020-12-21)
3D printing by fused deposition modelling (FDM) enables rapid prototyping and fabrication of parts with complex geometries. Unfortunately, most materials suitable for FDM 3D printing are non-degradable, petroleum-based ...
Imidazole-containing triblock copolymers with a synergy of ether and imidazolium sites
(The Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-03-06)
Reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization enabled the synthesis of well-defined A-BC-A triblock copolymers containing a synergy of pendant ether and imidazolium sites. The soft central BC block ...
