Abstract Details of the design and implementation of an open-source platform for studying the adhesion of cells attached to solid substrata are provided. The hardware is based on a laser-cut flow channel connected to a programmable syringe pump. The software automates all aspects of the flow rate profile, data acquisition and image analysis. An example…

High-level characterization of de-icing salts on polymer composite insulator Award Summary: To evaluate the long-term effects of corrosive conditions (particularly the use of de-icing salts) on the hydrophobicity of silicone used on polymer composite electrical insulators. Used a variety of analytical methods to better understand the effects of simulated ageing on polymer samples. These methods…

ASAsoft™ Story 1.0 to 2.0 Ligh+weight Insulator aka Composite/Polymer Insulator  Electricity drives our civilization, which is why there are huge questions as to where it will come from in the future. What is not going to change in the near future is the way that we distribute power. And the nature of that distribution system…

Award Summary: To date, testing of some materials such as silicone and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubbers has been carried out, and some general findings exist, but it remains to be understood how the materials respond to weathering under their electrical load. In this project, a combination of surface-specific spectroscopy, microscopy, and macroscopic measurements…
