Research Topic Funding Brief Description

Investigations of Ordered Polymer Microstructures

Formed by Molecular and Mescoscopic Self Assembly

National Science

Foundation

The project focuses on producing spontaneously ordered microstructures from reactive mesogens amenable to self-assembly, and understand the range of possible structures and their control via molecular and thermodynamic parameters. A diverse set of microstructures has already been demonstrated which include highly ordered balls, rods, hollow tubes, toroids, and ‘yarn-balls’ on the micrometer and submicrometer scale. Experiments are currently being performed to probe their structural, electrical, optical, and dynamic properties to elucidate their fundamental morphology and underlying physical phenomena, and evaluate their potential for far reaching optical applications. This work has been extended to create thermally responsive structures, which when exposed to heat, expand in a periodic way thereby creating a surface relieve structure.

Investigations of Electro-Optics and Opto-Mehcnaics of ITO on Plastic Substrates

for Flexible Display Applications

NSF MRSEC Center

National Science

Foundation

The deployment of ultra-thin flexible displays has in part been hindered by the inability of manufacturers to find high efficiency transparent conductors which can withstand mechanical fatigue while in service. Previous research conducted has shown that the industry standard transparent conductor, indium-tin-oxide (ITO), degrades appreciably when subjected to mechanical stresses. It has also been observed that resulting cracks in the degraded ITO render it ineffective as a conductor at that point. In this respect, the possibility of reinforcing ITO deposited on a substrate with carbon nanotubes are under investigation. The exceptionally high

53

modulus and conductivity of carbon nanotubes make them very suitable for this application. The underlying basic question involves the surface interaction between the substrate, ITO and carbon nanotubes (adhesion, bridging, slipping, etc.).

A Tunable Interferometric Random Optical Cross

Switch

Scientific Solutions

[Phase I SBIR MDO]

A Tunable Interferometeric Random Optical Cross-switch (TIROC) is being developed, and is composed of a Fabry-Perot interferometer, a single focusing lens, and a stack of electronically switchable holographic optical elements. A broad-band light from a nearly collimated beam or from a Lambertian surface is spatially dispersed into discrete wavelengths by path length interference within the Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) resonant cavity. The output of the FPI is a series of concentric circles. The TIROC device is configured so that a single order of the Fabry-Perot, or a single ring surrounding the central position of the pattern, is imaged upon the holographic element stack by the imaging lens. This spectral order is designed to cover 32 nm of the C-band (1529 – 1561 nm). The prime application of this device is to create a wavelength selective device for telecommunications.

Tough Nanocomposite Coatings Using New Self Organized Carbon Films

NIRT: w/ Profs Hurt, Curtin, & Sheldon

National Science

Foundation

A benefit to fabricating nanotubes using this method is that an automated fluid dispensing system can be used to apply the nanotube precursor to the Al2O3 template. A syringe with a narrow tip diameter is filled with a solution of indanthrone disulfonate and water. The syringe is part of an automated fluid dispensing system, which is computer controlled. Using a software interface, the writing conditions used for the application of the carbon precursor can be precisely controlled. A wide array of shapes from simple dots to complex linear and arc patterns can be dispensed using this method. Currently, the narrowest width of the nanotube arrays is 160 �m; however, by optimizing the writing procedure, we hope to improve on this. We also hope to further develop this patterning technique in order to take advantage of existing inkjet printing technology. Carbon nanotubes are being considered for a number of applications including sensing, electronic circuits, and flat panel displays. The ability to use an automated printing system will enable accurate mass production manufacturing processes to be used in fabricating the nanotube arrays necessary for these devices.

Lattices for Photonics Science Foundation

by the desire to construct photonic lattices with quasi-crystal symmetry in an attempt to understand, explore and design elegant optical switching devices. It has been demonstrated that 5, 7 and 9 fold two dimensional, quasi-periodic polymer morphology, can be created using the holographic lithography method. Quasi-crystals are structures between amorphous and periodic-crystal structures which exhibit fold symmetry but no overall absolute translational symmetry. Locally their environment demonstrates an overlapping translation and multi-fold symmetry. This local overlapping periodicity acts like a superimposed grating giving rise to a film with rich transmission and reflection spectra and potential photonic band gap. These structures are potentially used for lasing, waveguide division multiplexing, wavelength filters, omnidirectional reflector and quasi-phase matching applications.

Non-Invasive Device to Measure Hemoglobin Levels

Culpepper Foundation

The human conjunctiva (red tissue in lower eyelid) is an attractive location to examine blood constituents because the vessels are close to the surface, and the surface is nearly transparent. In fact, the conjunctiva are the most accessible location where the vessels are clearly visible through a thin mucus membrane. The motivation for this project is to examine the vasculature of the conjunctiva spectroscopically and to measure hemoglobin concentration and blood oxygenation levels, thus diagnosing anemia. A medical device is being developed based on our holographic switchable device technology, concurrently with clinical testing studies at Rhode Island Hospital.

Switchable Lasers from Photonic Crystals

Foundation

The research is organized into three interrelated and complementary research areas, namely nanoscale confinement utilizing prefabricated templates, photo-self-diffusion mediated templating, and back-flow mediated templating. The first research area focusing on nanoscale confinement expands on many of the exciting results uncovered during the first international NSF funded proposal (e.g.

Polarization Gratings for the Alignment of Liquid Crystal

Materials in Optical Applications

NASA GSRP

Fellowship

ROLIC LPP is a linear photopolymerizable polymer (LPP) that acts as an alignment layer for liquid crystal materials in display applications. It has been demonstrated as a non-contact alignment method when a thin layer of material (typically 50-100 nm) is deposited on a substrate and irradiated with linearly polarized ultraviolet (UV) light. Upon exposure to the UV light, the poly-vinyl cinnamate molecules that make up the LPP alignment layer polymerize and cross-link together in the direction of incident linear polarization. Once the material has been photopolymerized, liquid crystal materials that come in direct contact with this layer are oriented in a preferential and homogenous planar alignment along the direction of the polymerization (or incident polarization direction). Over the past decade, researchers have developed many techniques to create various textures and patterns of liquid crystal alignment materials using this material in conjunction with photolithography masks and multiple UV exposures. While these techniques show the versatility and tailorability of creating different patterns of liquid crystal alignment, they are limited by the size of the photolithography masks, and can only produce discrete alignment features (no continuously varying alignment textures).

Micro-Rubbing Techniques for Wdie Angle Viewing Liquid Crystal Displays

Joint Project with the

Technical University of Eindhoven

National Science

Foundation

Patterning surfaces to align liquid crystals has important implications in many industries, including applications for displays, telecommunication devices and security elements. There are several approaches in which one can prepare patterned surfaces for liquid crystal alignment, including photolithographic techniques, photo-alignment using lithographic masks or holographic

Page 56: research.brown.edu · 1 GREGORY PHILIP CRAWFORD CURRENT POSITION Dean of Engineering Professor of Engineering and Physics Brown University Providence, RI EDUCATION 1991 Kent State

56

methods, selected deposition of SiO2, nano-scratching of polyimide, laser manipulation of azo-dye doped polyimides, etc. The most ubiquitous application of patterned alignment is found in the liquid crystal display (LCD) industry, where patterning is performed on the sub-pixel level in order to average out the strong optical anisotropy introduced by the liquid crystal orientation. With the commercial arrival of liquid crystal television on the near horizon, there is a compelling need for sub-pixel patterning techniques that can be performed on large area displays in a simple and inexpensive way. Currently used techniques to fabricate wide viewing angle vertical alignment displays include four-domain alignment based on ridges applied underneath the alignment layer, fringe field structure, vacuum deposition techniques, photolithographic techniques, etc. These techniques are process intensive and are therefore more expensive to implement on large area displays. We have demonstrate how a microrubbing (�-rubbing) technique can be used in conjugation with homeotropic polyimide alignments layers to create high contrast and symmetric viewing twisted vertically aligned display.

Measuring the Age of Bruises

Brown University Graduate Fellowship

Pediatricians and other physicians who care for acutely injured patients are often asked for an opinion regarding the age of externally visible contusions (e.g. bruises) for many reasons. Medical expertise is frequently elicited to help delineate intentional from unintentional injury in cases involving child protection and interpersonal violence. In many circumstances, physicians are expected to give an opinion about whether or not the bruising pattern is consistent with abuse or if the appearance of the bruises is consistent with the history provided by the patient. Sadly, physical abuse or inflicted trauma is one of the most common types of child maltreatment observed by physicians and the diagnosis is often dependent on physical findings and historical correlations. Accurately assessing the ages of bruises and differentiating bruises of different ages on the same patient are important components to validating historical accounts of injuries. Law enforcement and child protection workers often rely on physician assessment of bruising and other injuries to identify perpetrators and assess culpability. Although there have been basic studies on spectrophotometry where bruising is

57

evaluated with conventional spectroscopic equipment and new models to predict skin reflectance spectra, there is no instrument available for physicians to age bruises. Since so much is at stake in assessing the nature and age of bruises, a compelling need for an accurate device to assess the age of bruises exists. Utilizing LC technology in a manner to mimic the operation of a commercial spectrometer, a device may be inexpensively provided to physicians to provide this invaluable piece of evidence when making such vital diagnoses.

Xanthrochromia Detection in Cerebrospinal Fluid in

Determining Non-traumatic Subarachnoid Hemorrhages

Brown University Graduate Fellowship

Non-traumatic Subarachnoid hemorrhages occur in an average of 30,000 patients annually in the U.S. Although the majority of headaches have little associated risk, severe headaches that may indicate a possible SAH must be approached with maximum prudence. Of these 30,000 patients, 25% are misdiagnosed upon initial evaluation. This is a critical statistic as early treatments of SAH’s may prevent neurological disabilities or fatality. Patients complaining of excruciating headaches are screened for possible SAH’s through computerized tomography (CT) scans of the brain. When these scans may not provide conclusive evidence on the presence or absence of a hemorrhage, further evaluation is done through examination of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), extracted using a spinal tap procedure. The CSF is analyzed for the presence, and quantity, of red blood cells, as well as the presence or absence of xanthrochromia. Xanthrochromia is the yellowish discoloration of CSF due to hemoglobin byproducts oxyhemoglobin and bilirubin. A red blood cell count alone is not a sufficient diagnosis for SAH’s for two primary reasons. Red blood cells can leak into CSF through damaged tissue adjacent to spinal cord, and patients being examined a longer period of time after hemorrhage onset may have already broken down hemoglobin molecules. Xanthrochromia detection can allow for a more complete diagnosis of SAH’s by augmenting the results for the RBC counts. Xanthrochromia is defined as being present when the absorbance at 440 nm is above a certain threshold (oxyhemoglobin absorbance), or when a peak in the absorbance curve appears at 450-460 nm (bilirubin absorbance). Although this diagnosis is simple with a spectrophotometer, 99% of

Page 58: research.brown.edu · 1 GREGORY PHILIP CRAWFORD CURRENT POSITION Dean of Engineering Professor of Engineering and Physics Brown University Providence, RI EDUCATION 1991 Kent State

58

hospitals use only a visual inspection of the yellow tint of CSF to determine the presence of Xanthrochromia due to cost and ease. With the number of misdiagnoses of SAH’s, a cheap spectroscopic tool to aid in the detection of Xanthrochromia is needed. Switchable H-PDLC’s can provide a quick analysis of these two spectral characteristics, while being small, inexpensive, and disposable for hospital use.

Nano-tubes Dispersed in Liquid Crystal Materials to

Improve Display Performance

Undergraduate Honors Thesis

In the past years, new carbon nanostructures, like multi- and single-walled nanotubes and more recently nanohorns, have attracted the interest of scientists on their possible uses in different technological fields. In particular, these materials exhibit excellent field emission properties, with interesting possible applications in a new display generation (field emission displays). In this framework, the research we are conducting consists of a set of experiments where the nanotubes are mixed in with a photosensitive polymer-liquid crystal blend or in a liquid crystal. By exposing this mixture to a laser interference pattern, we strive to achieve a spatial patterning and/or an alignment of the nanotubes. In addition, we are also investigating the improved properties of liquid crystal displays when they are doped with carbon nanotubes.

The Optomechanics of Skin Cells

Undergraduate Honors Thesis

Cultured keratinocytes (skin cells) of the epidermis have been used to repair skin in severely burned patients, however, contrary to widespread perception, a reliable, durable and permanent skin substitute, which is functionally and cosmetically acceptable, remains a critically important, yet elusive goal. Working with Professor Jeffrey Morgan in Biology and Medicine, we are developing a ways to optically measure the expansion and contraction of keratinocytes when certain compounds come in contact with them. We are looking into a variety of ways to make this measurement, and so far the most promising way is to employ total internal reflection techniques. Much like a total internal reflection microscopy, our method is ideally suited to probe the cellular environment within a distance of hundreds of nanometers from the surface by capitalizing on the evanescent wave. In addition, we are looking at ways in which we can grow these in highly ordered arrays using similar techniques as are used in liquid crystal displays. By creating groves on the order of 1-10 micrometers, we can assist the skin cells to order, on average,

Scattering Polarizers for LCDs based on Highly Anisotropic Polymer

Particles

Fugi Photofilm Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are becoming a main stream display device. In terms of light controlling technologies, an LCD acts as a shutter to modulate an incident backlight. Most LCDs rely on polarizers to create a desired electro-optic effect. Polarizers however absorbe a large proporation of the light (>50%) making LCDs inefficient optical devices. In order to improve the efficiency, a light recycling technique has been developed which uses non-absorbing polarizers. A non-absorbing polarizer is one which efficiently reflects or backscatters light rather than absorbing it. With a light recycling mechanism, the rejected light can be redeployed if the polarization can be manipulated. There are several approaches to non-absorbing polarizers, all of which fall into two basic categories, reflective and scattering polarizers. Scattering polarizers made from stretched polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) is one of the promising non-absorbing polarizers which are less expensive due to their simple structure and fabrication process. Our laboratory studies liquid crystal molecules confined within a droplet in PVA matrix. By stretching a PDLC film, liquid crystal molecules align parallel to stretch direction thereby creating a refractive index difference between the axes parallel and perpendicular to the stretch axis. The refractive index of PVA is nearly isotropic since its birefringence induced from stretching is relatively small. As a result, a refractive index mismatch exists in the stretch axis, while a refractive index match occurs in a direction perpendicular to it. Therefore one polarization state in which the two indices of refraction are the same can transmit, while the orthogonal polarization state is scattered. The goal is to develop a scattering polarizer which has high transmittance and high polarizing efficiency. Furthermore we have developed ways in which to fabricated anisotropic (birefringent) particles out of reactive mesogens, which for display purposes, are temperature independent. This techniques enables a scattering polarizer to operate efficiently above 150oC, which is far better than current absorbing polarized used by the LCD industry.

New carbon-coated chips will be fabricated offering a range of well-defined nanotopographies that can be interrogated by macrophage and keratinocyte cells in vitro. Within their range of mobility of about 100 microns, the cells will select and adhere to micropatches possessing desirable combinations of surface chemistry and shape at the nanoscale. The chips will be incubated with immortalized murine macrophage or human keratinocyte cell lines; the biological endpoints will include cell viability, adhesion, morphology, proliferation, oxidant production, DNA damage, and release of proinflammatory cytokines such as TNF-�.

Additional Courses Taught Summer Studies Course for High School Students

Engineering and the World of the High Tech Entrepreneur

The primary goal was to introduce students to the many fascinating sub-disciplines of engineering, including electrical, chemical, materials, process, and mechanical, and to expose students to the many seemingly unrelated tasks that professional engineers in industry encounter on a daily basis such as marketing, patent law, ethics, and economics. The students were part of an entrepreneurial term in a mock start-up company that was engaged in the high-risk, high pay-off business of portable electronic displays. The students totally organized the structure of the business and took on roles such as CEO, Vice President of Engineering, Technical Marketing, Lead Engineer, etc. The task of this exercise was to secure funding for the start-up, design, engineer, and fabricate a hand-held electronic display prototype, and to present the prototype to a panel of experts on the final day.
