Design and Development of an Anti-fouling Urinary Catheter Utilizing Active Surface Deformation
… elastomer constructs to generate regio-selective strain and thereby remove biofilms. We first grew mature Proteus mirabilis crystalline biofilms on flat silicone elastomer substrates, and showed that application of strain to the substrate debonded the biofilm, and that increasing the strain rate …

The notched coating adhesion specimen: a fracture test for coatings and accelerated screening test for adhesion
… adhesion (NCA) specimens consist of single substrates coated with thin layers of adhesive. The coating is notched to induce initial debonds, and the specimen is then loaded in a manner to produce tensile stresses in the coating. The substrate strain at which the coating debond propagates is …

X-ray scattering studies of strongly correlated materials: orbital ordering in KCuF3 and stripe-like domain structures in BiFeO3 epitaxial thin films
… describe the observation of scattering near the substrate peak due to the thin film domain structure, which is causing a modulation of the substrate strain.

Understanding the origins of metastability in thin film growth; tantalum and the early group VB-VIB metals
… for the studied metals and reveal that substrate-induced film strain is not by itself sufficient to cause the formation of ss-Ta. Fermi surface calculations of the mean electron velocity in the proposed P42/mnm structure of ss-Ta suggest that the high values of resistivity frequently …

Voltage Control of Magnetism in Novel Structured Vertically Aligned Nanocomposite Thin Films
… systems. Magnetoelectric systems exhibit a strain coupling between magnetic and electric order parameters. Research highlights the need for stronger strain coupling between phases and less electrical leakage for functional ME devices. The high surface area interface between phases in VAN …
