In this paper we discuss the transformation of a sheet of material into a wide range of
desired shapes and patterns by introducing a set of simple cuts in a multilevel hierarchy with …

… Glass-transition temperatures were tested by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (TA
instrument Q2000, New Castle, DE, USA). Films transmittance was tested using a Perkin Elma …

Transformation of naphthopyran into a colored merocyanine species in polymeric materials
is achieved using mechanical force. We demonstrate that the mechanochemical reactivity of …

Huntington’s disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative disorder of the
central nervous system (CNS) that is defined by a CAG expansion in exon 1 of the huntingtin …

Object. The peroneal nerve is the most common site of intraneural ganglia. The neurological
deficit associated with these cysts is often severe and the operation to eradicate them is …

Single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT)/silicone rubber composites that can be used in
fabricating compliant electrodes are prepared by spraying a mixed solution of ionic-liquid-…

INTRODUCTION Mouse zygotes and early blastomeres have totipotent cell fate potential,
generating both embryonic and extraembryonic cell lineages during normal development. This …

Silicon carbide reinforced polyurethane nanocomposites were fabricated by a facile surface-initiated-polymerization
(SIP) method. The particle loading was tuned to up to 35wt% …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a significant role in blood-brain barrier
breakdown and angiogenesis after brain injury. VEGF-induced endothelial cell migration is a key …

We investigate the effect of pulling point location on the mechanochemical activation of two
isomers of spiropyran in cross-linked polymeric materials through computational calculations …
