Mapping the Nanoscale Heterogeneous Responses in the Dynamic Acceleration of Deformed Polymer Glasses Open
Understanding the evolution of local structure and mobility of disordered glassy materials induced by external stress is critical in modeling their mechanical deformation in the nonlinear regime. Several techniques have shown acceleration …

Torsional force microscopy of van der Waals moirés and atomic lattices Open
In a stack of atomically thin van der Waals layers, introducing interlayer twist creates a moiré superlattice whose period is a function of twist angle. Changes in that twist angle of even hundredths of a degree can dramatically transform …

Insights into Mechanical Dynamics of Nanoscale Interfaces in Epoxy Composites Using Nanorheology Atomic Force Microscopy Open
Interfacial polymer layers with nanoscale size play critical roles in dissipating the strain energy around cracks and defects in structural nanocomposites, thereby enhancing the material's fracture toughness. However, understanding how the…

Controlled Porosity in Ferroelectric BaTiO<sub>3</sub> Photoanodes Open
The use of ferroelectric polarization to promote electron-hole separation has emerged as a promising strategy to improve photocatalytic activity. Although ferroelectric thin films with planar geometry have been largely studied, nanostructu…

On the Nanomechanical and Viscoelastic Properties of Coatings Made of Recombinant Sea Star Adhesive Proteins Open
To attach to surfaces in the sea, sea stars produce proteinaceous adhesive secretions. Sfp1 is a major constituent of this adhesive, where it is present in the form of four subunits (named Sfp1α to δ) displaying specific protein-, carbohyd…

Nanoscale DMA with the Atomic Force Microscope: A New Method for Measuring Viscoelastic Properties of Nanostructured Polymer Materials Open
We introduce nanoscale dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) based on atomic force microscopy (AFM), a new mode for quantitative viscoelastic analysis of heterogeneous polymer materials at the nanoscale (AFM-nDMA). AFM-nDMA takes advantage of …
