Water Adhesion to Methylated Glass
Measurements of the spreading and capillary forces for liquids deposited on solid surfaces of varying surface chemistry and topography are a prerequisite to better understanding and quantification of the wetting mechanisms. In this study, glass slide surfaces were modified with … Continue reading
Visit of Former Student
We really enjoyed the three-days visit by Sara Schellbach, our former undergraduate researcher, who graduated from MSE program in 2016. She currently works for GM, and pursues her MS degree at Wayne State University. Sara came with her brother who … Continue reading
Stable Zn Alloys for Stenting
Zn-based alloys have been recognized as highly promising bioabsorbable materials for cardiovascular stents, due to their biocompatibility and, more importantly, favorable corrosion rates as compared to Mg alloys. However, both low tensile strength and intrinsic mechanical instability arisen from strong … Continue reading
