A Theoretical Study on Friction of Macroscale Patterned Surfaces: Implications for Scaling Up Superlubricity Open
"Structural superlubricity", a state of frictionless sliding between crystalline surfaces, has been observed at the nanoscale and microscale. However, achieving it at the macroscale requires further investigation. Inspired by recent experi…

Mechanical Properties of Conducting Printed Nanosheet Network Thin Films Under Uniaxial Compression Open
Thin film networks of solution processed nanosheets show remarkable promise for use in a broad range of applications including strain sensors, energy storage, printed devices, textile electronics, and more. While it is known that their ele…

<sup>8</sup>Li Spin Relaxation as a Probe of the Modification of Molecular Dynamics by Inelastic Deformation of Glassy Polystyrene Open
The molecular dynamics of inelastic strain in glasses remains poorly understood, in contrast to the plasticity of crystalline materials that is well-characterized by measurements of dislocation activity. We report initial results on a 300 …

The effect of contact aspect ratio and film to substrate elastic modulus ratio on stress vs. strain up to the point of yield during flat punch thin film indentation of an elastic-plastic film Open
Nanoindentation is the only way to test the local mechanical properties of thin films and coatings. Current analysis treats the measurement as a perturbation of a conventional half-space indentation, typically limiting testing to films wit…
