Abstract: Fibers are clad with a responsive liquid crystal material and a polymer. The clad fibers may be useful for advanced textiles and wearable sensors.

Abstract: A conductive, durable, peelable and flexible polymeric composition such as a coating can be utilized as an electrode sheet or substrate for organic and polymer light emitting diodes, for organic transistors, medical electrodes, and the like. The conductive polymeric composition is a blend of a conductive polymer blend and a peelable polymer blend wherein the conductive polymer comprises a negative-charged accepting polymer and a positive-charged accepting polymer and wherein the peelable polymer blend comprises a water soluble polymer, a polyalkylene oxide, and an alkyl glycol.

Abstract: A nanoliter rheometer is capable of operating over a wide range of temperatures and permits visual observation of extremely small amounts of various often complex and/or expensive small nanoliter size fluids over a wide viscoelastic regime. The nanoliter rheometer comprises two very thin fibers, the ends of which are in close proximity to one another and desirably parallel to one another with one fiber being moved by a drive system and the remaining fiber desirably being stationary and capable of measuring a force transferred through a nanoliter size fluid located between the two fibers ends. The transferred force can be measured either by an LCR meter or a piezoelectric crystal and recorded as by a lock-in amplifier.
