Journal ArticleDOI

A programmable soft chemo-mechanical actuator exploiting a catalyzed photochemical water-oxidation reaction

TL;DR: A thermodynamic analysis of the composite hydrogel containing an embedding coupled chemistry for light-sensitized catalytic reactions that enables chemo-mechanical actuation of poly(acrylic acid)-based gels is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improving Electrodeposition of Mg through an Open Circuit Potential Hold

TL;DR: In this paper, an open circuit potential (OCP) pause following Mg deposition led to retained enhancement of Mg and stripping kinetics along with lowered overpotentials for both.
Journal ArticleDOI

Physical and spectroscopic studies of the nucleation and growth of copper thin films on polyimide surfaces by chemical vapor deposition

TL;DR: In this article, the nucleation and growth of copper from pyromellitic dianhydride-oxydianiline (PMDA-ODA) polyimide has been studied with a variety of techniques, including reflection absorption infrared spectroscopy (RAIRS), ellipsometry, X-ray photoelectron spectrography (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and atomic force microscopy(AFM).
Journal ArticleDOI

Additive Fabrication and the Mechanisms of Nucleation and Growth in Chemical Vapor Deposition Processes

TL;DR: This Account presents several representative studies of thin-film growth by chemical vapor deposition, with particular emphasis given to elucidating the mechanistic, energetic, and structural aspects of nucleation and growth.
