Cellulosic and crustacean filler materials were used to study their effects on poly(vinyl-acetate) (PVAC) emulsion wood adhesives. The elastoplastic behavior of the filler-treated PVAC emulsion was studied using differential scanning calorimetry and dynamic mechanical thermal analysis. The result revealed that the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the filler-treated polymer is not significantly changed by the addition of the filler materials, whereas the tensile modulus, adhesive hardness, and the stiffness were markedly changed. The viscosity of the emulsions and their performance on wood surfaces were greatly affected by fillers. The cellulosic fillers have high oil-absorption capacity, hence increased viscosity to a greater extent than the case with crustacean-based filler materials, which have faster coalescence but yield mechanically weaker films. The acidity of the fillers influenced the setting time for wood adhesive bonding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The potential of exfoliated graphite nano platelets (xGnP ™) as reinforcing fillers in flouroelastomer has been investigated. The dispersion of the nano graphite platelets in the polymer matrix has been investigated by WAXD, SEM, TEM, EPMA and AFM. WAXD studies indicated that the processing of composites did not change the inter-gallery distance (d-spacing) of the graphite platelets. The effect of increasing nano graphite loadings on mechanical properties like tensile strength, modulus and tear resistance has been studied. Formation of weld lines on the fracture surface of the composite has been observed by SEM. The thermal stability was determined using thermogravimetric analysis. The composites showed higher thermal stability in comparison with nonreinforced polymer.

Spectral embedding and spectral clustering are common methods for non-linear dimensionality reduction and clustering of complex high dimensional datasets. In this paper we provide a diffusion based probabilistic analysis of algorithms that use the normalized graph Laplacian. Given the pairwise adjacency matrix of all points in a dataset, we define a random walk on the graph of points and a diffusion distance between any two points. We show that the diffusion distance is equal to the Euclidean distance in the embedded space with all eigenvectors of the normalized graph Laplacian. This identity shows that characteristic relaxation times and processes of the random walk on the graph are the key concept that governs the properties of these spectral clustering and spectral embedding algorithms. Specifically, for spectral clustering to succeed, a necessary condition is that the mean exit times from each cluster need to be significantly larger than the largest (slowest) of all relaxation times inside all of the individual clusters. For complex, multiscale data, this condition may not hold and multiscale methods need to be developed to handle such situations.

It was hypothesized that the hydroxyapatite(HAP)/GEMOSIL biomaterial could promote osteoblast (MC3T3) self-organization. This study using MC3T3 cell line demonstrated formation of trabecular bone-like extracellular matrix (ECM) on the material compared to unorganized ECM on the control (no-material). The study also initiated exploratory tests for the underlying mechanisms via gene analysis and proliferation assay.
