Journal ArticleDOI
Stimuli-Responsive Polymer Nanocomposites Inspired by the Sea Cucumber Dermis
Jeffrey R. Capadona,Kadhiravan Shanmuganathan,Dustin J. Tyler,Stuart J. Rowan,Christoph Weder +4 more
TL;DR: A family of polymer nanocomposites are reported on, which mimic this architecture and display similar chemoresponsive mechanic adaptability and larger modulus changes upon exposure to emulated physiological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer nanocomposites with nanowhiskers isolated from microcrystalline cellulose.
Jeffrey R. Capadona,Kadhiravan Shanmuganathan,Stephanie Trittschuh,Scott Seidel,Stuart J. Rowan,Christoph Weder +5 more
TL;DR: Nanocomposites based on an ethylene oxide/epichlorohydrin copolymer and nanowhiskers isolated from MCC were produced that display the maximum mechanical reinforcement predicted by the percolation model.
Journal ArticleDOI
pH-Responsive Cellulose Nanocrystal Gels and Nanocomposites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that functionalization of the surface of cellulose nanocrystals with either carboxylic acid (CNC-CO2H) or amine(CNC−NH2) moieties renders the CNCs pH-responsive.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomimetic mechanically adaptive nanocomposites
Kadhiravan Shanmuganathan,Jeffrey R. Capadona,Stuart J. Rowan,Christoph Weder,Christoph Weder +4 more
TL;DR: A new family of artificial polymer nanocomposites that mimic the architecture and the mechanic adaptability of the sea cucumber dermis are reviewed, based on low-modulus matrix polymers that are reinforced with a percolating cellulose nanofiber network.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanically adaptive intracortical implants improve the proximity of neuronal cell bodies
James P. Harris,James P. Harris,Jeffrey B. Capadona,Jeffrey B. Capadona,Robert H. Miller,Brian C. Healy,Kadhiravan Shanmuganathan,Stuart J. Rowan,Stuart J. Rowan,Christoph Weder,Christoph Weder,Dustin J. Tyler,Dustin J. Tyler +12 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that mechanically associated factors such as proteoglycans and intermediate filaments are important modulators of the response of the compliant nanocomposite.
