  Abstract

  Quantifying cohesion and understanding fracture phenomena in thin-film electronic devices are necessary for improved materials design and processing criteria. For organic photovoltaics (OPVs), the cohesion of the photoactive layer portends its mechanical flexibility, reliability, and lifetime. Here, the molecular mechanism for the initiation of cohesive failure in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OPV active layers derived from the semiconducting polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) [P3HT] and two monosubstituted fullerenes is examined experimentally and through molecular-dynamics simulations. The results detail how, under identical conditions, cohesion significantly changes due to minor variations in the fullerene adduct functionality, an important materials consideration that needs to be taken into account across fields where soluble fullerene derivatives are used.

• Molecular design for moisture insensitivity of compositionally graded hybrid films. ACS applied materials & interfaces Giachino, M., Dubois, G., Dauskardt, R. H. 2015; 7 (12): 6812-6818

  Abstract

  Effective bonding of organic/inorganic interfaces especially in high humidity environments is paramount to the structural reliability of modern multilayer device technologies, such as flexible electronics, photovoltaics, microelectronic devices, and fiber-metal laminates used in aerospace applications. We demonstrate the ability to design compositionally graded hybrid organic/inorganic films with an inorganic zirconium network capable of forming a moisture-insensitive bond at the interface between an oxide and organic material. By controlling the chemistry of the deposited films and utilizing time-dependent debonding studies, we were able to correlate the behavior of the hybrid films at high humidity to their underlying molecular structure. As a result, an outstanding threefold improvement in adhesion of silicon/epoxy interfaces can be obtained with the introduction of these films even in high humidity environments.

• The relationship between water loss, mechanical stress, and molecular structure of human stratum corneum ex vivo. Journal of biophotonics Vyumvuhore, R., Tfayli, A., Biniek, K., Duplan, H., Delalleau, A., Manfait, M., Dauskardt, R., Baillet-Guffroy, A. 2015; 8 (3): 217-225

  Abstract

  Proper hydration of the stratum corneum (SC) is important for maintaining skin's vital functions. Water loss causes development of drying stresses, which can be perceived as 'tightness', and plays an important role in dry skin damage processes. However, molecular structure modifications arising from water loss and the subsequent development of stress has not been established. We investigated the drying stress mechanism by studying, ex vivo, the behaviors of the SC components during water desorption from initially fully hydrated samples using Raman spectroscopy. Simultaneously, we measure the SC mechanical stress with a substrate curvature instrument. Very good correlations of water loss to the mechanical stress of the stratum corneum were obtained, and the latter was found to depend mainly on the unbound water fraction. In addition to that, the water loss is accompanied with an increase of lipids matrix compactness characterized by lower chain freedom, while protein structure showed an increase in amount of α-helices, a decline in α-sheets, and an increase in folding in the tertiary structure of keratin. The drying process of SC involves a complex interplay of water binding, molecular modifications, and mechanical stress. This article provides a better understanding of the molecular mechanism associated to SC mechanics.

• Decohesion kinetics in polymer organic solar cells. ACS applied materials & interfaces Bruner, C., Novoa, F., Dupont, S., Dauskardt, R. 2014; 6 (23): 21474-21483

  Abstract

  We investigate the role of molecular weight (MW) of the photoactive polymer poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) on the temperature-dependent decohesion kinetics of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). The MW of P3HT has been directly correlated to its carrier field effect mobilities and the ambient temperature also affects OSC in-service performance and P3HT arrangement within the BHJ layer. Under inert conditions, time-dependent decohesion readily occurs within the BHJ layer at loads well below its fracture resistance. We observe that by increasing the MW of P3HT, greater resistance to decohesion is achieved. However, failure consistently occurs within the BHJ layer representing the weakest layer within the device stack. Additionally, it was found that at temperatures below the glass transition temperature (∼41-45 °C), decohesion was characterized by brittle failure via molecular bond rupture. Above the glass transition temperature, decohesion growth occurred by a viscoelastic process in the BHJ layer, leading to a significant degree of viscoelastic deformation. We develop a viscoelastic model based on molecular relaxation to describe the resulting behavior. The study has implications for OSC long-term reliability and device performance, which are important for OSC production and implementation.

  Abstract

  We report on the synthesis of hard, adhesive, and highly transparent bilayer organosilicate thin films on large poly(methyl methacrylate) substrates by atmospheric plasma, in ambient air, at room temperature, in a one-step process, using a single precursor. The method overcomes the challenge of fabricating coatings with high mechanical and interfacial properties in a one-step process. The bottom layer is a carbon-bridged hybrid silica with excellent adhesion with the poly(methyl methacrylate) substrate, and the top layer is a dense silica with high Young’s modulus, hardness, and scratch resistance. The bilayer structure exhibited ~100% transmittance in the visible wavelength range, twice the adhesion energy and three times the Young’s modulus of commercial polysiloxane sol–gel coatings.

  Abstract

  A significant improvement of adhesion in thin-film structures is demonstrated using embedded ceramic-like amorphous silicon carbide films (a-SiC:H films). a-SiC:H films exhibit plasticity at the nanoscale and outstanding chemical and thermal stability unlike most materials. The multi-functionality and the ease of processing of the films have potential to offer a new toughening strategy for reliability of nanoscale device structures.

  Abstract

  Transparent polymers are widely used in many applications ranging from automotive windows to microelectronics packaging. However, their intrinsic characteristics, in particular their mechanical properties, are significantly degraded with exposure to different weather conditions. For instance, under humid environment or UV-irradiation, polycarbonate (PC) undergoes depolymerization, leading to the release of Bisphenol A, a molecule presumed to be a hormonal disruptor, potentially causing health problems. This is a serious concern and the new REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemical substances ) program dictates that materials releasing Bisphenol A should be removed from the market by January 1st, 2015 (2012-1442 law). Manufacturers have tried to satisfy this new regulation by depositing atop the PC a dense oxide-like protective coating that would act as a barrier layer. While high hardness, modulus, and density can be achieved by this approach, these coatings suffer from poor adhesion to the PC as evidenced by the numerous delamination events occurring under low scratch constraints. Here, we show that the combination of a N2/H2-plasma treatment of PC before depositing a hybrid organic-inorganic solution leads to a coating displaying elevated hardness, modulus, and density, along with a very high adherence to PC (> 20 J/m(2) as measured by double cantilever beam test). In this study, the sol-gel coatings were composed of hybrid O/I silica (based on organoalkoxysilanes and colloidal silica) and designed to favor covalent bonding between the hybrid network and the surface treated PC, hence increasing the contribution of the plastic deformation from the substrate. Interestingly, double-cantilever beam (DCB) tests showed that the coating's adhesion to PC was the same irrespective of the organoalkoxysilanes/colloidal silica ratio. The versatility of the sol-gel deposition techniques (dip-coating, spray-coating, etc.), together with the excellent mechanical properties and exceptional adherence of this hybrid material to PC should lead to interesting new applications in diverse fields: optical eye-glasses, medical materials, packaging, and so forth.

• Heterogeneous solution deposition of high-performance adhesive hybrid films. ACS applied materials & interfaces Giachino, M., Dubois, G., Dauskardt, R. H. 2013; 5 (20): 9891-9895

  Abstract

  Interfaces between organic and inorganic materials are of critical importance to the lifetime of devices found in microelectronic chips, organic electronics, photovoltaics, and high-performance laminates. Hybrid organic/inorganic materials synthesized through sol-gel processing are best suited to address these challenges because of the intimate mixing of both components. We demonstrate that deposition from heterogeneous sol-gel solutions leads to the unique nanolength-scale control of the through-thickness film composition and therefore the independent optimization of both the bulk and interfacial film properties. Consequently, an outstanding 3-fold improvement in the adhesive/cohesive properties of these hybrid films can be obtained from otherwise identical precursors.

  Abstract

  Oxygen atmospheric plasma was used to pretreat polycarbonate (PC) and stretched poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) surfaces in order to enhance the adhesion of the dense silica coatings deposited by atmospheric plasma on the polymer substrates. The treatment time and chemical structure of the polymers were found to be important factors. For PC, a short treatment increased the adhesion energy, while longer treatment times decreased the adhesion. In contrast, plasma pretreatment monotonically decreased the adhesion of PMMA, and pristine PMMA exhibited much higher adhesion than the PC counterpart. We found that adhesion enhancement was achieved through improved chemical bonding, chain interdiffusion, and mechanical interlocking at the coating/substrate interface, after a short atmospheric plasma treatment. Decreased adhesion resulted from overoxidation and low-molecular-weight weak layer formation on the polymer surface by prolonged atmospheric plasma treatment. The dramatic differences in the behavior of PC and PMMA in relation to the plasma treatment time were due to their dissimilar resistance to atmospheric plasma exposure.

  Abstract

  Plasticity plays a crucial role in the mechanical behavior of engineering materials. For instance, energy dissipation during plastic deformation is vital to the sufficient fracture resistance of engineering materials. Thus, the lack of plasticity in brittle hybrid organic-inorganic glasses (hybrid glasses) often results in a low fracture resistance and has been a significant challenge for their integration and applications. Here, we demonstrate that hydrogenated amorphous silicon carbide films, a class of hybrid glasses, can exhibit a plasticity that is even tunable by controlling their molecular structure and thereby leads to an increased and adjustable fracture resistance in the films. We decouple the plasticity contribution from the fracture resistance of the films by estimating the "work-of-fracture" using a mean-field approach, which provides some insight into a potential connection between the onset of plasticity in the films and the well-known rigidity percolation threshold.

  Abstract

  We explore the application of a high-temperature precursor delivery system for depositing high boiling point organosilicate precursors on plastics using atmospheric plasma. Dense silica coatings were deposited on stretched poly(methyl methacrylate), polycarbonate and silicon substrates from the high boiling temperature precursor, 1, 2-bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane, and from two widely used low boiling temperature precursors, tetraethoxysilane and tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane. The coating deposition rate, molecular network structure, density, Young's modulus and adhesion to plastics exhibited a strong dependence on the precursor delivery temperature and rate, and the functionality and number of silicon atoms in the precursor molecules. The Young's modulus of the coatings ranged from 6 to 34 GPa, depending strongly on the coating density. The adhesion of the coatings to plastics was affected by both the chemical structure of the precursor and the extent of exposure of the plastic substrate to the plasma during the initial stage of deposition. The optimum combinations of Young's modulus and adhesion were achieved with the high boiling point precursor which produced coatings with high Young's modulus and good adhesion compared to commercial polysiloxane hard coatings on plastics.

  Abstract

  Organic/inorganic multilayer barrier films play an important role in the semihermetic packaging of organic electronic devices. With the rise in use of flexible organic electronics, there exists the potential for mechanical failure due to the loss of adhesion/cohesion when exposed to harsh environmental operating conditions. Although barrier performance has been the predominant metric for evaluating these encapsulation films, interfacial adhesion between the organic/inorganic barrier films and factors that influence their mechanical strength and reliability has received little attention. In this work, we present the interfacial fracture toughness of a model organic/inorganic multilayer barrier (SiN(x)-PMMA). Data from four point bending (FPB) tests showed that adhesive failure occurred between the SiN(x) and PMMA, and that the adhesion increased from 4.8 to 10 J/m(2) by using a variety of chemical treatments to vary the surface energy at the interface. Moreover, the adhesion strength increased to 28 J/m(2) by creating strong covalent bonds at the interface. Overall, three factors were found to have the greatest impact on the interfacial fracture toughness which were (a) increasing the polar component of the surface energy, (b) creating strong covalent bonds at the organic/inorganic interface, and (c) by increasing the plastic zone size at the crack tip by increasing the thickness of the PMMA layer.

• Solar UV radiation reduces the barrier function of human skin PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Biniek, K., Levi, K., Dauskardt, R. H. 2012; 109 (42): 17111-17116

  Abstract

  The ubiquitous presence of solar UV radiation in human life is essential for vitamin D production but also leads to skin photoaging, damage, and malignancies. Photoaging and skin cancer have been extensively studied, but the effects of UV on the critical mechanical barrier function of the outermost layer of the epidermis, the stratum corneum (SC), are not understood. The SC is the first line of defense against environmental exposures like solar UV radiation, and its effects on UV targets within the SC and subsequent alterations in the mechanical properties and related barrier function are unclear. Alteration of the SC's mechanical properties can lead to severe macroscopic skin damage such as chapping and cracking and associated inflammation, infection, scarring, and abnormal desquamation. Here, we show that UV exposure has dramatic effects on cell cohesion and mechanical integrity that are related to its effects on the SC's intercellular components, including intercellular lipids and corneodesmosomes. We found that, although the keratin-controlled stiffness remained surprisingly constant with UV exposure, the intercellular strength, strain, and cohesion decreased markedly. We further show that solar UV radiation poses a double threat to skin by both increasing the biomechanical driving force for damage while simultaneously decreasing the skin's natural ability to resist, compromising the critical barrier function of the skin.

• Moisture-Insensitive Polycarbosilane Films with Superior Mechanical Properties ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES Matsuda, Y., Rathore, J. S., Interrante, L. V., Dauskardt, R. H., Dubois, G. 2012; 4 (5): 2659-2663

  Abstract

  We report cross-linked polycarbosilane (CLPCS) films with superior mechanical properties and insensitivity to moisture. CLPCS are prepared by spin-coating and thermal curing of hexylene-bridged disilacyclobutane (DSCB) rings. The resulting films are siloxane-free and hydrophobic, and present good thermal stability and a low dielectric constant of k = 2.5 without the presence of supermicropores and mesopores. The elastic stiffness and fracture resistance of the films substantially exceed those of traditional porous organosilicate glasses because of their unique molecular structure. Moreover, the films show a remarkable insensitivity to moisture attack, which cannot be achieved by traditional organosilicate glasses containing siloxane bonds. These advantages make the films promising candidates for replacing traditional organosilicate glasses currently used in numerous applications, and for use in emerging nanoscience and energy applications that need protection from moisture and harsh environments.

  Abstract

  To test the hypothesis that the mechanical environment of cutaneous wounds can control scar formation.Mechanical forces have been recognized to modulate myriad biologic processes, but the role of physical force in scar formation remains unclear. Furthermore, the therapeutic benefits of offloading cutaneous wounds with a device have not been rigorously tested.A mechanomodulating polymer device was utilized to manipulate the mechanical environment of closed cutaneous wounds in red Duroc swine. After 8 weeks, wounds subjected to different mechanical stress states underwent immunohistochemical analysis for fibrotic markers. In a phase I clinical study, 9 human patients undergoing elective abdominal surgery were treated postoperatively with a stress-shielding polymer on one side whereas the other side was treated as standard of care. Professional photographs were taken between 8 and 12 months postsurgery and evaluated using a visual analog scale by lay and professional panels. This study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT00766727.Stress shielding of swine incisions reduced histologic scar area by 6- and 9-fold compared to control and elevated stress states, respectively (P < 0.01 for both) and dramatically decreased the histologic expression of profibrotic markers. Closure of high-tension wounds induced human-like scar formation in the red Duroc, a phenotype effectively mitigated with stress shielding of wounds. In the study on humans, stress shielding of abdominal incisions significantly improved scar appearance (P = 0.004) compared with within-patient controls.These results indicate that mechanical manipulation of the wound environment with a dynamic stress-shielding polymer device can significantly reduce scar formation.

• Emollient molecule effects on the drying stresses in human stratum corneum BRITISH JOURNAL OF DERMATOLOGY Levi, K., Kwan, A., Rhines, A. S., Gorcea, M., Moore, D. J., Dauskardt, R. H. 2010; 163 (4): 695-703

  Abstract

  Emollient molecules are widely used in skin care formulations to improve skin sensory properties and to alleviate dry skin but little is understood regarding their effects on skin biomechanical properties.To investigate the effects of emollient molecules on drying stresses in human stratum corneum (SC) and how these stresses are related to SC components and moisture content.The substrate curvature method was used to measure the drying stresses in isolated SC following exposure to selected emollient molecules. While SC stresses measured using this method have the same biaxial in vivo stress state and moisture exchange with the environment, a limitation of the method is that moisture cannot be replenished by the underlying skin layers. This provides an opportunity to study the direct effects of emollient treatments on the moisture content and the components of the SC. Attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was used to determine the effects of emollient molecules on SC lipid extraction and conformation. Results Emollient molecules resulted in a complex SC drying stress profile where stresses increased rapidly to peak values and then gradually decreased to significantly lower values compared with the control. The partially occlusive treatments also penetrated into the SC where they caused extraction and changes in lipid conformation. These effects together with their effects on SC moisture content are used to rationalize the drying stress profiles.Emollient molecules have dramatic effects on SC drying stresses that are related to their effects on intercellular lipids and SC moisture content.

  Abstract

  The drying stresses that develop in stratum corneum (SC) are crucial for its mechanical and biophysical function, its cosmetic feel and appearance, and play a central role in processes of dry skin damage. However, quantitative methods to characterize these stresses are lacking and little understanding exists regarding the effects of drying environment, chemical exposures and moisturizing treatments. We describe the application of a substrate curvature technique adapted for biological tissue to accurately characterize SC drying stresses as a function of time following environmental pre-conditioning and chemical treatment in a range of drying environments. SC stresses were observed to increase to stress levels of up to approximately 3 MPa over periods of 8 h depending on pretreatment and drying environment. A unique relationship between the SC stress and water in the drying environment was established. The effect of glycerol on lowering SC stresses and damaging surfactants on elevating SC stresses were quantified. Extensions of the method to continuous monitoring of SC stresses in response to changes in environmental moisture content and temperature are reported. Finally, a biomechanics framework to account for the SC drying stress as a mechanical driving force for dry skin damage is presented.

• Application of substrate curvature method to differentiate drying stresses in topical coatings and human stratum corneum. International journal of cosmetic science Levi, K., Dauskardt, R. H. 2010; 32 (4): 294-298

  Abstract

  Despite the extensive use of topical coatings in cosmetics, their effect on the mechanical properties of human skin and the perception of skin tightness in the form of drying stresses is not well understood. We describe the application of a recently developed substrate curvature technique to characterize stresses in drying and non-drying occlusive topical coatings. We then extend the technique to measure the combined effects of the coating applied to human stratum corneum (SC) where the overall drying stresses may have contributions from the coating, the SC and the interaction of the coating with the SC. We show how these separate contributions in the coating and SC layers can be differentiated.

• Molecular Mobility under Nanometer Scale Confinement NANO LETTERS Kim, T., Dauskardt, R. H. 2010; 10 (5): 1955-1959

  Abstract

  The mobility of organic molecules under nanoscale confinement differs greatly from that in the bulk. In this study we show that the conventional free volume dependent mobility relationship explained by the free volume theory of diffusion breaks down for diffusion of linear alkane molecules in organosilicate films with connected nanoporosity. Alkane mobility under such nanoscale confinement was observed to decrease with chain length and was lower than that reported in the bulk. While the activation energy for diffusion was similar to that in the bulk, it was found to decrease with chain length exactly opposite to the trend observed in the bulk. This suggests an increasing molecular free volume with chain length. The effects of molecular polarity and pore size on diffusion were also demonstrated. Molecular mobility was found to be suppressed with increasing molecular polarity and decreasing pore size.

  Abstract

  Polymer molecules when physically confined at nanometer length scales diffuse nonclassically and very differently depending on their molecular weight and the nature of the confinement. Long polymers that exhibit "snakelike" reptation based mobility in melts may diffuse faster in confined nanometer sized cylinders with pore diameter d approximately 15 nm, and short polymers subject to Rouse dynamics have shown signatures of reptation and slower diffusion when confined in nanoporous glass with d approximately 4 nm. However, the mobility of short polymers with radii of gyration similar to a smaller pore diameter (d < or = 2.1 nm) but with extended lengths well larger than the pore diameter has not as yet been studied. In this work, we demonstrate that those short molecules including nonionic surfactants can readily diffuse in strongly hydrophobic nanoporous glasses film with d < or = 2.1 nm. The diffusivity was found sensitive to molecular weight, hydrophilic-lipophilic balance, and molecular structure of surfactants. Remarkably, analysis of the measured diffusion coefficients reveals that short-chain surfactants exhibit signature of reptation based diffusion in the nanoscopic pore confinements. Such reptation mobility in agreement with theoretical predictions is not even observed in reptating polymer melts due to fluctuations of the entanglement pathway. The fixed pathways in the interconnected nanoporous films provide ideal nanoscale environments to explore mobility of confined molecules, and the results have implications for a number of technologies where nanoporous materials are in contact with surfactant molecules.

  Abstract

  An in vitro adhesion test method has been adapted to quantify the through-thickness intercellular delamination energy of isolated human stratum corneum (SC). Both untreated and delipidized tissues were tested. Measured delamination energies were found to increase from approximately 3 J/m(2) near the surface to approximately 15 J/m(2) for the inner layers of the tissue. For delipidized SC, the location of the initial debond was located closer to the center of the tissue. Delamination energy values were elevated compared to untreated specimens, increasing from approximately 7 J/m(2) near the surface to approximately 18 J/m(2) for the inner layers of the SC. Further tests were run to measure delamination energies of SC as a function of hydration (15-100% relative humidity (RH)) at approximately 25 degrees C and as a function of temperature (10-90 degrees C) at several hydrations (15, 45, 100% RH). Delamination energies were observed to decrease with increasing hydration and increasing temperature with the most significant changes occurring for 100% RH conditioned SC. Additional SC was treated with pH-buffered solutions (pH 4.2, 6.7, 9.9) and selected surfactant solutions (1%, 10% wt/wt sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS)) for comparison to untreated controls. While statistically significant differences were observed, the SC was found to be resistant to large changes in delamination energy with pH and 1% wt/wt SDS treatments with values in the range 4.2-5.1J/m(2) compared to control values of 4.4 J/m(2). More substantially elevated values were observed for SC treated with a 10%wt/wt SDS solution (6.6J/m(2)) and a chloroform-methanol extraction (11.2J/m(2)).

  Abstract

  An in vitro mechanics approach to quantify the intercellular delamination energy and mechanical behavior of isolated human stratum corneum (SC) in a direction perpendicular to the skin surface is presented. The effects of temperature, hydration, and a chloroform-methanol treatment to remove intercellular lipids were explored. The delamination energy for debonding of cells within the SC layer was found to be sensitive to the moisture content of the tissue and to the test temperature. Delamination energies for untreated stratum corneum were measured in the range of 1-8J/m(2) depending on test temperature. Fully hydrated specimen energies decreased with increasing temperature, while room-humidity-hydrated specimens exhibited more constant values of 2-4J/m(2). Lipid-extracted specimens exhibited higher delamination energies of approximately 12J/m(2), with values decreasing to approximately 4J/m(2) with increasing test temperature. The peak separation stress decreased with increasing temperature and hydration, but lipid-extracted specimens exhibited higher peak stresses than untreated controls. The delaminated surfaces revealed an intercellular failure path with no evidence of tearing or fracture of cells. The highly anisotropic mechanical behavior of the SC is discussed in relation to the underlying SC structure.

  Abstract

  The objective of this study is to determine the effects of autoclaving on the stress, strain, ultimate tensile strength (UTS), fracture strain, modulus, and yield stress of nylon medullary tubes. There are three reports describing nylon medullary tube failure in the literature. All cases involved the use of nylon medullary tubes during open reduction internal fixation of fractured long bones. We demonstrated increased brittleness and decreased strength with increased exposure of medullary tubes to autoclaving, most dramatically after 100 autoclave cycles. Visual inspection of tubes is a clear indication of material degradation after repeated autoclaving. Furthermore, there is a significant difference in ultimate tensile strength (P < 0.0001) between tubes exposed to less than 100 sterilization cycles compared to tubes exposed to greater than 100 cycles. Likewise, there is a significant decrease in yield stress (P < 0.0004) between the same groups. We recommend disposal and replacement of nylon medullary tubes before they are exposed to 100 autoclaving cycles in order to avoid failure of the device.

  Abstract

  Nanoporous glasses are inherently brittle materials that become increasingly fragile with increasing porosity. We show that remarkable increases in fracture energy can be obtained from remnants of the porogen molecules used to create the nanoscale pores. The interfacial fracture energy of approximately 2.6 J m(-2) for dense methylsilsesquioxane glass films is shown to increase by over one order of magnitude to >30 J m(-2) for glasses containing 50 vol.% porosity. The increased fracture resistance is related to a powerful molecular-bridging mechanism that was modelled using bridging mechanics. The study demonstrates that significant increases in interfacial fracture energy may be obtained using strategies involving controlled decomposition of the porogen molecule during processing of nanoporous glasses. The implications are important for a range of emerging optical, electronic and biological technologies that use nanoporous thin films, but are limited by the degradation of mechanical properties with increasing porosity.

• Fracture of nanoporous thin-film glasses NATURE MATERIALS Guyer, E. P., Dauskardt, R. H. 2004; 3 (1): 53-57

  Abstract

  Fracture of nanoporous thin-film glasses is a significant challenge for the integration of these mechanically fragile materials in emerging microelectronic and biological technologies. In particular, the integration of these materials has been limited by accelerated cracking rates in moist environments leading to premature failure. Here, we demonstrate how cracking is affected by aqueous solution chemistry, and reveal anomalously high crack-growth rates in hydrogen peroxide solutions frequently encountered during device processing or when in use. Kinetic mechanisms involving the transport and steric hindrance of reactive hydrogen peroxide molecules at the crack tip are proposed. Thin-film design strategies that involve energy dissipation by local plasticity in thin ductile layers on increasing the resistance to cracking of nanoporous glass layers is demonstrated. Understanding how aqueous solutions influence cracking and associated device reliability is a fundamental challenge for these promising materials to be viable candidates for new technologies.

  Abstract

  The effect of notches on the strength properties of self-setting hydroxyapatite (HA) cements is examined. Such stress concentrators may be present at orthopedic repair sites employing cements and significantly affect their mechanical reliability. Notched tensile specimens were prepared from two cement compositions that resulted in HA and carbonated apatite. The notch radii was varied from 0.15 to 6 mm with a fixed length of 6 mm. The strength of the cements was found to be surprisingly insensitive to the presence of the notches over the range of notch radii examined. A fracture statistics model incorporating a Weibull statistical approach was employed to rationalize the observed notch insensitivity.

  Abstract

  Debonding and premature failure of prostheticpolymethylmethacrylate interfaces have been shown to be exacerbated by exposure to physiological environment. In efforts to counteract these hydrolytic degradation effects, two clinically relevant Co-Cr-Mo surface morphologies were treated with an organosilane adhesion promoter (gamma-methacyloxypropyltrimethoxy) before interface bonding. Samples were quantitatively characterized in terms of the adhesion (fracture) and subcritical debond growth-rate (fatigue) behavior of the interface. The steady-state interface debond resistance, Gss (J/m2), was shown to increase with application of the silane pretreatment both in air (20 degrees C, 45% relative humidity) and simulated physiological environment (37 degrees C, Ringer's). Similarly, positive shifts in the subcritical debond threshold, deltaG(TH), values are observed for silane pretreated interfaces. A shift in the debond path from primarily adhesive failure in untreated surfaces to cohesive failure between the silane layer and bulk polymethylmethacrylate for silane treated surfaces was observed. Silane pretreatment of Co-Cr-Mo surfaces was shown to effectively limit the degree of the environmental degradation. General insights to the effects of surface roughness, chemical enhancement, and the environmental effects on the thermodynamics at the interface and resulting debond behavior are discussed.

  Abstract

  Debonding of clinically relevant CoCrMo-polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) interfaces is shown to occur subcritically under fatigue loading, implying that debonding may occur at loads much lower than those required for catastrophic failure. Interface fracture mechanics samples containing precoated and uncoated grit-blasted CoCrMo substrates and a PMMA layer were constructed and quantitatively evaluated in terms of their critical interface adhesion and subcritical debond behavior. The precoat surfaces had markedly enhanced adhesion and fatigue resistance in both air and simulated physiological environmental conditions compared to the uncoated samples. Constraint of the PMMA layer does not significantly affect the debond process for thickness between 2- and 5-mm. In addition, wear particles were collected and shown to be consistent with particle sizes reported in vivo and are on the scale of the metal surface roughness. Life prediction methods using the subcritical debond-growth data are discussed.

  Abstract

  Debonding of the prosthetic/polymethylmethacrylate interface has been implicated in the initial failure process of cemented total hip arthroplasties. However, little quantitative understanding of the debonding process, as well as of the optimum interface morphology for enhanced resistance to debonding, exists. Accordingly, a fracture-mechanics approach has been used in which adhesion at the interface is characterized in terms of the interface fracture energy, G (J/m2), and shown to be a strong function of the morphology, debonding length, and loading mode of the interface. Double-cantilever-beam and four-point-flexure fracture-mechanics samples containing four clinically relevant prosthetic surface preparations were prepared to survey a range of interface roughness and loading modes. Adhesion at the interface could not be characterized with a single-valued material property but was found to exhibit resistance-curve behavior in which resistance to debonding increased with both the initial debond extension and the roughness of the interface. Values of debonding initiation, Go, were relatively insensitive to the roughness of the surface and the loading mode, whereas steady-state fracture resistance of the interface, Gss, increased significantly with the roughness and shear loading of the interface. These quantitative results suggest that debonding of the prosthetic/polymethylmethacrylate interface may be primarily attributed to surface interactions such as interlocking and the pullout of rough asperities that occur behind the debond tip. A simple mechanics analysis of such interactions was performed and revealed increases in the fracture resistance of the interface that were consistent with experimentally measured values.

  Abstract

  The synthesis and properties of carbonated apatite materials have received considerable attention due to their importance for medical and dental applications. Such apatites closely resemble the mineral phase of bone, exhibiting superior osteoconductive and osteogenic properties. When formed at physiological temperature they present significant potential for bone repair and fracture fixation. The present study investigates the mechanical properties of a carbonated apatite cancellous bone cement. Flexural strength was measured in three and four point bending, and the fracture toughness and fatigue crack-growth behaviour was measured using chevron and disc-shaped compact tension specimens. The average flexural strength was found to be approximately 0.468 MPa, and the fracture toughness was approximately 0.14 MPa radical m. Fatigue crack-growth rates exhibited a power law dependence on the applied stress intensity range with a crack growth exponent m=17. The fatigue threshold value was found to be approximately 0.085 MPa radical m. The mechanical properties exhibited by the carbonated apatite were found to be similar to those of other brittle cellular foams. Toughness values and fatigue crack-growth thresholds were compared to other brittle foams, bone and ceramic materials. Implications for structural integrity and longer term reliability are discussed.

• Reliability of PMMA bone cement fixation: fracture and fatigue crack-growth behaviour JOURNAL OF MATERIALS SCIENCE-MATERIALS IN MEDICINE Nguyen, N. C., Maloney, W. J., Dauskardt, R. H. 1997; 8 (8): 473-483

  Abstract

  Fracture mechanics tests were performed to characterize the fracture toughness and fatigue crack-growth behaviour of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) bone cement, commonly used in joint replacement surgery. Compact tension specimens of various thicknesses were prepared and tested in both air and Ringer's solution. Contrary to previous reports citing toughness as a single valued parameter, the PMMA was found to exhibit resistance-curve behaviour with a plateau toughness of approximately 0.6 MPa m1/2 in air, and approximately 2.0 MPa m1/2 in Ringer's solution. The increased toughness in Ringer's solution is thought to arise from the plasticizing effect of the environment. Under cyclic loads, the material displayed true mechanical fatigue failure in both environments; fatigue crack-growth rates, da/dN, were measured over the range approximately 10(-10) to 10(-6) m/cycle and found to display a power-law dependence on the stress intensity range, DeltaK. The cement was found to be more resistant to fatigue-crack propagation in Ringer's solution than in air. Wear debris was observed on the fatigue fracture surfaces, particularly those produced in air. These findings and the validity of using a linear-elastic fracture mechanics approach for viscoelastic materials are discussed in the context of providing more reliable and fracture-resistant cemented joints.

  Abstract

  A fracture-mechanics based study has performed to characterize the fracture toughness and rates of cyclic fatigue-crack growth of incipient flaws in prosthetic heart-valve components made of pyrolytic carbon-coated graphite. Such data are required to predict the safe structural lifetime of mechanical heart-valve prostheses using damage-tolerant analysis. Unlike previous studies where fatigue-crack propagation data were obtained using through-thickness, long cracks (approximately 2-20 mm long), growing in conventional (e.g., compact-tension) samples, experiments were performed on physically small cracks (approximately 100-600 microns long), initiated on the surface of the pyrolytic-carbon coating to simulate reality. Small-crack toughness results were found to agree closely with those measured conventionally with long cracks. However, similar to well-known observations in metal fatigue, it was found that based on the usual computations of the applied (far-field) driving force in terms of the maximum stress intensity, Kmax, small fatigue cracks grew at rates that exceeded those of long cracks at the same applied stress intensity, and displayed a negative dependency on Kmax; moreover, they grew at applied stress intensities less than the fatigue threshold value, below which long cracks are presumed dormant. To resolve this apparent discrepancy, it is shown that long and small crack results can be normalized, provided growth rates are characterized in terms of the total (near-tip) stress intensity (incorporating, for example, the effect of residual stress); with this achieved, in principle, either form of data can be used for life prediction of implant devices. Inspection of the long and small crack results reveals extensive scatter inherent in both forms of growth-rate data for the pyrolytic-carbon material.

  Abstract

  A scanning electron microscopy study is reported of the nature and morphology of fracture surfaces in pyrocarbons commonly used for the manufacture of mechanical heart-valve prostheses. Specifically, silicon-alloyed low-temperature-isotropic (LTI)-pyrolytic carbon is examined, both as a coating on graphite and as a monolithic material, following overload, stress corrosion (static fatigue), and cyclic fatigue failures in a simulated physiological environment of 37 degrees C Ringer's solution. It is found that, in contrast to most metallic materials yet in keeping with many ceramics, there are no distinct fracture morphologies in pyro-carbons which are characteristic of a specific mode of loading; fracture surfaces appear to be identical for both catastrophic and subcritical crack growth under either sustained or cyclic loading. We conclude that caution should be used in assigning the likely cause of failure of pyrolytic carbon heart-valve components using fractographic examination.

  Abstract

  Fracture-mechanics tests were performed to characterize the cyclic fatigue, stress-corrosion cracking, and fracture-toughness behavior of a pyrolytic carbon-coated graphite composite material used in the manufacture of cardiac valve prostheses. Testing was carried out using compact tension C(T) samples containing "atomically" sharp precracks, both in room-temperature air and principally in a simulated physiological environment of 37 degrees C Ringer's lactate solution. Under sustained (monotonic) loads, the composite exhibited resistance-curve behavior, with a fracture toughness (KIc) between 1.1 and 1.9 MPa square root of m, and subcritical stress-corrosion crack velocities (da/dt) which were a function of the stress intensity K raised to the 74th power (over the range approximately 10(-9) to over 10(-5) m/s). More importantly, contrary to common perception, under cyclic loading conditions the composite was found to display true (cyclic) fatigue failure in both environments; fatigue-crack growth rates (da/dN) were seen to be a function of the 19th power of the stress-intensity range delta K (over the range approximately 10(-11) to over 10(-8) m/cycle). As subcritical crack velocities under cyclic loading were found to be many orders of magnitude faster than those measured under equivalent monotonic loads and to occur at typically 45% lower stress-intensity levels, cyclic fatigue in pyrolytic carbon-coated graphite is reasoned to be a vital consideration in the design and life-prediction procedures of prosthetic devices manufactured from this material.
