(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)In tendon injury repair, the insertion of the tendon into the bone or enthesis often determines the quality of healing and poor enthesis often leads to treatment failure. However, natural enthesis is not very well understood ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Chemosensors hold many vital applications in today's world, particularly as detectors for explosives. There is still vast room for improvement as other technologies-particularly those of explosives-continue to evolve and ...

Percolation behavior of diffusionally evolved two-phase systems simulated using phase field methods (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Percolation is an important phenomenon that dramatically affects the properties of many multi-phase materials. As such, significant prior work has been done to investigate the percolation threshold and critical scaling ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Co/Ni multilayers display perpendicular magnetic anisotropy and have applications in magnetic devices that could lead to a large increase in the density of magnetic storage. Co/Ni 10-(2 Å Co/ 8Å Ni) and 10-(2 Å Co/ 4 Å Ni) ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)One fundamental challenge in designing organic light-emitting diodes is luminescence quenching near an electrode. In this work, we investigate the underlying mechanism behind luminescence quenching by measuring the reduction ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Photolithography of a pH-sensitive photoresist polymer was performed to pattern both lipid bilayers and proteins onto the same surface. The motivation behind this was to create a substrate mimicking an array of antigen- ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)In this study biomaterial scaffolds for regeneration of nucleus pulposus were developed by freeze drying slurries with different proportions of collagen II (CII), chondroitin-6-sulfate (CS), and hyaluronic acid (HA). The ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Vaccines for infections such as measles, polio, or chicken pox contain live attenuated viruses, which can sometimes lead to infection. Our objective is to develop an improved strategy for vaccines that induces patent immune ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)Biology has provided us with many organisms that are able to propel themselves through a fluid using cilia or flagella. This provides inspiration to create controllable systems that cannot only propel an organism or device ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Injections of medicine into the body are commonplace, whether they be intravenous or capsules. The benefit of using a macroneedle for injecting cargo into the circulatory system is its simplicity. However, introduction of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis examines ancient pottery from the site of Las Fundiciones, Guerrero, Mexico. Because this site provides the only documented evidence of prehispanic metal smelting in Mesoamerica it is critical to examine artifacts ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)During the second half of the twentieth century, a technological shift occurred in the steel industry. A different mix of refining and melting furnaces were used, with increasing use being made of basic oxygen and electric ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Ferromagnetic shape memory alloys (FSMAs) are a class of alloys that exhibits the shape memory effect, as in the alloy nickel-titanium, sometimes known as Nitinol. In FSMAs, though, the shape changes are not brought on ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)An experimental study on solid-supported phospholipid bilayers was performed in order to investigate rate-dependent behavior of force and probability of bilayer rupture. 1-palmitoyl-2-oleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Waste consolidation is a crucial step in the development of cost-effective, nation-wide material reclamation networks. This thesis project investigates typical and conformational tendencies of a hypothetical end-of-life ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Aluminum is a versatile material that is used frequently in transportation and packaging, two industries with substantial recent growth. The increase in demand for aluminum, however, has outpaced the growth of primary ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The role of hydrogen in chemical vapor decomposition (CVD) of C2H4 for growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. Fe/A1203 (1/10 nm) catalyst layers were used for growth on Si substrates and the times at which H2 ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Nanodiamonds have potential in biomedical uses, as they are non-toxic and exhibit non-blinking fluorescence behavior when they are enriched with nitrogen vacancy centers. In order for them to be useful in biomedical ...
