Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Characterization of Polymer Networks.
Scott P. O. Danielsen,Haley K. Beech,Shu Wang,Bassil M. El-Zaatari,Xiaodi Wang,Liel Sapir,Tetsu Ouchi,Zi Wang,Patricia N. Johnson,Yixin Hu,David J. Lundberg,Georgi Stoychev,Stephen L. Craig,Jeremiah A. Johnson,Julia A. Kalow,Bradley D. Olsen,Michael Rubinstein +16 more
TL;DR: A critical overview of the current characterization techniques available to understand the relation between the molecular properties and the resulting performance and behavior of polymer networks, in the absence of added fillers, can be found in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toughening hydrogels through force-triggered chemical reactions that lengthen polymer strands.
Zi Wang,Xujun Zheng,Tetsu Ouchi,Tatiana B. Kouznetsova,Haley K. Beech,Haley K. Beech,Sarah Av-Ron,Takahiro Matsuda,Brandon H. Bowser,Shu Wang,Jeremiah A. Johnson,Jeremiah A. Johnson,Julia A. Kalow,Julia A. Kalow,Bradley D. Olsen,Bradley D. Olsen,Jian Ping Gong,Michael Rubinstein,Stephen L. Craig,Stephen L. Craig +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the utility and lifetime of materials made from polymer networks, including hydrogels, depend on their capacity to stretch and resist tearing, and those mechanical properties ar...
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative Adjustment to the Molecular Energy Parameter in the Lake–Thomas Theory of Polymer Fracture Energy
TL;DR: In this article, a conceptual framework for adding molecular details of chain extension and force-coupled bond dissociation to the Lake-Thomas model of tear energy in rubbery crack propagation is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photoswitchable Sol-Gel Transitions and Catalysis Mediated by Polymer Networks with Coumarin-Decorated Cu 24 L 24 Metal-Organic Cages as Junctions.
Nathan J. Oldenhuis,K. Peter Qin,Shu Wang,Hong-Zhou Ye,Eric A. Alt,Adam P. Willard,Troy Van Voorhis,Stephen L. Craig,Jeremiah A. Johnson +8 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that reversible disassembly of multicomponent MOCs can be used to switch bulk material properties, enabling functions that are difficult to access in traditional supramolecular networks.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanism Dictates Mechanics: A Molecular Substituent Effect in the Macroscopic Fracture of a Covalent Polymer Network.
Shu Wang,Haley K. Beech,Brandon H. Bowser,Tatiana B. Kouznetsova,Bradley D. Olsen,Michael Rubinstein,Stephen L. Craig +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the fracture energy of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) gels is controlled by mechanophores embedded within mechanically active network strands, which is a mechanochemical "weak link".
