Functional thin film polymers for biopassivation of neuroprosthetic implants
… the ability to implant neural recording probes within the brain that will remain functional over the life of the patient. In this work, two novel polymeric materials for use in biopassive neural probe coatings have been developed and validated. These polymers are synthesized by initiated chemical …

The role of quenched disorder, interfaces and confinement on the glassy dynamics of colloidal suspensions, thermal liquids and films
… constraints at solid substrates in supported films. Second, I propose an improved treatment of collective elasticity effects in films to capture geometric asymmetry due to modified boundary conditions. Third, a new theory is constructed for how the local dynamic free energy that quantifies …

Friction and Wear of Polytetrafluoroethylene/Graphene Oxide Composite Thin Films
… low adhesion to substrates limiting its use as a thin film. Thin PTFE films are ideal candidates for solid lubrication in micro-machines and bearing applications. The main goal of this work is to enhance the durability of thin PTFE films through the addition of few layered graphene oxide (GO) as …
