  • METHOD OF SPONTANEOUSLY PATTERNING A POLYMER DURING FRONTAL POLYMERIZATION
    Publication number: 20240026068
    Abstract: A method of spontaneously patterning a polymer during frontal polymerization includes activating an initiation region of a monomer solution to reaction to initiate a polymerization reaction. A polymerization front is generated and propagates through the monomer solution in a radial or longitudinal direction away from the initiation region. The monomer solution is spontaneously heated downstream of the polymerization front by thermal transport away from the polymerization reaction. Once a localized region of the monomer solution reaches a temperature sufficient for spontaneous initiation of another polymerization reaction, a new polymerization front is generated and propagates through the monomer solution in a circumferential or transverse direction.

  • Method and apparatus for control of shock/boundary-layer interactions
    Patent number: 6651935
    Abstract: Apparatus for controlling shock/boundary-layer interactions created by a supersonic shock on a surface of a structure, includes a cavity formed in the structure and having an opening on the surface. A plate is attached to the surface and covers the opening. A plurality of flaps are formed on the plate and is operable to cooperatively close the opening in response to subsonic airflow condition over the flaps, and open the opening to permit airflow through the cavity in response to supersonic airflow conditions over the flaps.
