Rare-earth-doped glasses are key materials for optical technology due to the luminescent properties of $4{f}^{n}$ ions. The crystal-field model describes the effect of local environment on transitions between $4f$ electrons. We present a detailed modeling study of the optical spectra of sodium disilicate glass, $33{\m…

The wood plastic composites (WPCs) are made using matrices of recycled polypropylene with sawdust (pine wood flour) as filler. Corresponding WPCs are also made using virgin plastics (vPP, virgin polypropylene) for comparison with the recycled plastic-based composites. All varieties of these WPCs are made through melt…

The mechanical properties of soft tissues depend on the collagen fiber network and the surrounding non-fibrillar matrix. The mechanical role of non-fibrillar material remains poorly understood. Our recent study (Lake and Barocas, Ann Biomed Eng 2011) introduced collagen-agarose co-gels as a simple experimental model s…
