    Abstract The spreading of liquid filaments on solid surfaces is of paramount importance to a wide range of applications including ink-jet printing, coating, and direct ink writing (DIW). However, there is a considerable lack of experimental, numerical, and theoretical studies on the spreading of filaments on solid substrates. In this work, we studied the dynamics of spreading of Newtonian filaments via experiment, numerical simulations, and theoretical analysis. More specifically, we used a novel experimental setup to validate a 2D moving mesh computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model. The CFD model is used to determine the effect of processing and fluid parameters on the dynamics of filament spreading. We experimentally showed that for a Newtonian filament, the same spreading dynamics and final shape are obtained when the initial radius is constant, independent of the magnitude in printing parameters. In other words, the only important parameter on the spreading of filaments is the initial filament radius. Using a numerical model, we showed that the initial filament radius manifests itself in two important dimensionless parameters, Bond number, Bo, and viscous timescale, τ

    Abstract Hypothesis: There exists a generalized solution for the spontaneous spreading dynamics of droplets taking into account the influence of interfacial tension and gravity.
    Experiments: This work presents a generalized scaling theory for the problem of spontaneous dynamic spreading of Newtonian fluids on a flat substrate using experimental analysis and numerical simulations. More specifically, we first validate and modify a dynamic contact angle model to accurately describe the dependency of contact angle on the contact line velocity, which is generalized by the capillary number. The dynamic contact model is implemented into a two-phase moving mesh computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, which is validated using experimental results.
    Findings: We show that the spreading process is governed by three important parameters: the Bo number, viscous timescale τ

    Abstract Thermosetting polymers tend to have a stiffness-toughness trade-off due to the opposing relationship of stiffness and toughness on crosslink density. We hypothesize that engineering the polymer network, e.g., by incorporating urethane oligomers, we can improve the toughness by introducing variations in crosslink density. In this work, we show that a brittle methacrylated Bis-GMA resin (known as DA2) is toughened by adding a commercial urethane acrylate resin (known as Tenacious) in different proportions. The formulations are 3D printed using a vat photopolymerization technique, and their mechanical, thermal, and fracture properties are investigated. Our results show that a significant amount of Tenacious 60%

    Abstract Standard lay-up fabrication of fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) suffer from poor out-of-plane properties and delamination resistance. While advanced manufacturing techniques (e.g., interleaving, braiding, and z-pinning) increase delamination resistance in FRCs, they typically result in significant fabrication complexity and limitations, increased manufacturing costs, and/or overall stiffness reduction. In this work, we demonstrate the use of facile digital light processing (DLP) technique to additively manufacture (AM) random glass FRCs with engineered interleaves. This work demonstrates how vat photo-polymerization techniques can be used to build composites layer-by-layer with controlled interleaf material, thickness, and placement. Note that this engineering control is almost impossible to achieve with traditional manufacturing techniques. A range of specimens were printed to measure the effect of interleaf thickness and material on tensile/flexural properties as well as fracture toughness. One important observation was the ≈60% increase in interlaminar fracture toughness achieved by using a tough resin material in the interleaf. The comparison between AM and traditionally manufactured specimens via vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) highlighted the limitation of AM techniques in achieving high mat consolidation. In other words, the volume fraction of AM parts is limited by the wet fiber mat process, and engineering solutions are discussed. Overall, this technique offers engineering control of FRC design and fabrication that is not available with traditional methods.

    Abstract Fixation with suture anchors and metallic hardware for osteosynthesis is common in orthopedic surgeries. Most metallic commercial bone anchors achieve their fixation to bone through shear of the bone located between the threads. They have several deficiencies, including stress-shielding due to mechanical properties mismatch, generation of acidic by-products, poor osteointegration, low mechanical strength and catastrophic failure often associated with large bone defects that may be difficult to repair. To overcome these deficiencies, a swelling porous copolymeric material, to be used as bone anchors with osteointegration potential, was introduced. The purpose of this study was to investigate the fixation strength of these porous, swelling copolymeric bone anchors in artificial bone of various densities. The pull-out and subsidence studies indicate an effective fixation mechanism based on friction including re-fixation capabilities, and minimization of damage following complete failure. The study suggests that this swelling porous structure may provide an effective alternative to conventional bone anchors, particularly in low-density bone.

    Abstract A furan functionalized epoxy-amine thermoset with an embedded microcapsule healing system that utilizes reversible Diels-Alder healing chemistry was used to investigate the influence of microcapsule loading on healing efficiency. A urea-formaldehyde encapsulation technique was used to create capsules with an average diameter of 150 µm that were filled with a reactive solution of bismaleimide in phenyl acetate. It was found that optimum healing of the thermoset occurred at 10 wt% microcapsule content for the compositions investigated. The diffusion of solvent through the crack interface and within fractured samples was investigated using analytical diffusion models. The decrease in healing efficiency at higher microcapsule loading was attributed partially to solvent-induced plasticization at the interface. The diffusion analysis also showed that the 10% optimum microcapsule concentration occurs for systems with the same interfacial solvent concentration. This suggests that additional physical and chemical phenomena are also responsible for the observed optimum. Such phenomena could include a reduction in surface area available for healing and the saturation of interfacial furan moieties by reaction with increasing amounts of maleimide. Both would result from increased microcapsule loading.

    Abstract Many advantageous properties of cross-linked polymers relate to their network structures. In this study, network structures of three DGEBA-based epoxy systems at various DGEBA monomer sizes were investigated via equilibrium swelling and glass transition behavior. Each system was cured with a tetra-functional diamine, 4,4'-methylenebiscyclohexanamine, in the presence of a nonreactive solvent, i.e., THF at a solvent-to-monomer volume fraction ranging from 0 to 92%. Experimental results revealed that the conventional swelling model (the Dušek model) accurately calculates
