Anomalous thickness and dopant effects on photochemical deposition of Ag on epitaxial TiO2(110)/Nb:TiO2(110) heterostructures
The authors have found anomalous thickness and dopant effects on photochemical deposition of Ag on the epitaxial heterostructures of TiO2(110) and V:TiO2(110)/Nb:TiO2(110). The photodeposition of Ag o...

While significant work has focused on aqueous hydrogels for biotechnology applications, hydrogels suffer from a limited operating temperature range due to the moderate freezing point and high volatility of water. In this work, a nonaqueous, chemically cross-linked polybutadiene gel has been designed which exhibits stable properties over a temperature range of −60–70 °C. A combination of rheology, neutron scattering, and tack adhesion testing was utilized to characterize the gel properties. The methodology employed to design the polybutadiene gel can be generalized to a variety of gel materials and applications.
