Abstract:
Ceramic processing without firing, sintering and expensive equipment represents a growing research field within materials science. With respect to the search of new synthesis pathways living nature provides paradigms for procedures that occur at ambient conditions and by apparently simple means. In this connection, biomineralization yields highly complex organic/inorganic structures, e. g. within nacre or bones. In general, the formation of these biominerals involves organic molecules that act as templates during the mineralization of inorganic phases. Bio-inspired ceramic synthesis aims to imitate such principles by technical means. Accordingly, these routes consider the template-induced formation and the structural design of ceramics from solutions of suitable metal salts. This paper describes such routes by means of the preparation of ceramics like titania, vanadia, and zinc oxide. The influence of (bio)organic molecules (e. g. polyelectrolytes, self-assembled monolayers, amino acids, peptides and proteins) on the micro- and nanostructure formation and on the evolution of the morphology of these solids will be discussed. Furthermore, mechanical as well as functional properties of the obtained architectures are treated.

Guiding electro-magnetic radiation is fundamental to optics. Lenses, mirrors, and photonic crystals all accomplish this task by different routes. Understanding the interaction of light with materials is fundamental to improving and extending optical science and engineering as well as producing novel optical elements. Improvement in this understanding should not only include work to understand the interaction with traditional engineering materials but also should target the understanding of the interaction of electromagnetic radiation with biological structures as millions of years of evolution have sorted out numerous ways to modulate light (e.g. the fish eye or the skin of the octopus). The goal of this thesis work is to fabricate novel optical elements by taking cues from nature and extending the state of the art in light guiding behavior. Here, optical elements are defined as structured materials that guide or direct electromagnetic radiation in a predetermined manner. The work presented in this thesis encompasses biologically inspired tunable multilayer reflectors made from block copolymers and improvements to liquid filled lenses which mimic the human eye.In this thesis a poly(styrene)-poly(2-vinylpyridine) block copolymer was used to create a bio-mimetic, one-dimensional, multilayer reflector. The wavelengths of light reflected from this multilayer reflector or Bragg stack were tuned by the application of stimuli which included temperature, change in the solvent environment, pH, salt concentration in the solvent, and electrochemistry.
(cont.) A linear-shear rheometer was also built to investigate the mechanochromic color change brought about through the shearing of a one-dimensional, high molecular-weight, block-copolymer, photonic gel. Biologically inspired lenses were also studied through the construction of a finite element model which simulated the behavior of a liquid-filled lens. Several tunable parameters, such as the modulus, internal residual stress, and thickness of the membrane were studied for their influence on the shape of the lens membrane. Based on these findings, suggestions for the reduction of spherical aberration in a liquid filled lens were made. A gradient in the elastic modulus of the membrane was also investigated for use in the reduction of spherical aberration.

Abstract:
This work proposes minimally invasive solutions for spinal cord regeneration after trauma. In particular, injectable biomaterials can be precisely positioned in the lesion site, and eventually repetitively injected until the complete regeneration of the tissue. For this application, a silk fibroin functionalized with collagen type IV and laminin-derived peptides, called bio-inspired multifunctionalized silk fibroin (BMS), possessing piezoelectric properties, has been synthesized. Another approach that avoids damages to the spinal cord is proposed in the thesis as a multilayer hydrogel with piezoelectric properties that acts as a bridge between the healthy parts surrounding the injury. The multilayer hydrogel consists of i) a thin-layer of gelatin and fish collagen functionalized with VEGF for blood vessels formation, which helps the survival of the cells integrating with the pia mater of the spinal cord; ii) a BMS layer, which helps the adhesion, migration of neural stem cells and induces the sprouting of the axons thanks to the presence of Netrin (a chemoattractive protein); and iii) an adhesive layer of polydopamine (PDA) to fix the patch on the injured site. The adhesive patch exhibits a potential larger than an injectable hydrogel that could guarantee a long-term cell survival and help the axons to move towards a direction. The adhesive patch will be located on the surface of the spinal cord and the chemoattractive protein will induce the sprouting of the ascendant or descendant axons in the spinal cord to reach the axons present in the patch, restoring a signal connection. Even if not final, the results indicate that the above strategy could be explored further for the regeneration of the spinal cord.

The mechanical properties of viscoelastic soft materials are strongly time-dependent, such that we must describe their mechanical properties with material functions. This is an inherently difficult problem for materials scientists: typically,we define structure-property relationships in terms of scalar material properties, such that modifying a material's structure affects a target material property. However, if the property of interest is function-valued, modifying the material's structure may affect different parts of the material function in undesirable ways. The increased dimensionality of the target material property therefore renders the overall materials design problem for soft materials significantly more difficult. Recently, transient interactions have been shown to vastly improve the mechanical properties of soft materials by providing increased energy dissipation through the dissociation of the reversible bonds. However, there is a wide variety of transient interactions to choose from, varying widely in binding strength, kinetics, specificity, and stoichiometry of the groups that form the association. More research needs to be done to identify what physical laws apply universally across the types of transient associations, and what differentiates the abilities of different types of interactions to control material mechanics. In this thesis,we show how transient metal-coordinate bonds inspired by the chemistry of the mussel byssal threads can be used to engineer viscoelastic material functions in an intuitive and facile manner. We show that intelligent understanding of the thermodynamics and kinetics of metal-coordinate complexes allows quasi-independent control over different regimes of the viscoelastic material function. We draw from classical polymer physics and metal-coordinate chemistry to show that our 4-arm polyethylene glycol-based hydrogels crosslinked with transient histidine:metal bonds represent a uniquely ideal system for probing fundamental questions in how the properties of transient interactions affect viscoelastic material functions. In the final part of this thesis, we extend our control over the viscoelastic material functions of hydrogels by exploiting the redox-sensitivity of histidine:metal crosslinks. In this way, we show how histidine:metal interactions are perhaps more versatile than other types of transient interactions, promising a facile way to examine structure-property relationships in transient networks.

Battery research has historically focused on improving the properties of the active materials that directly store energy. This research has resulted in active materials with higher specific capacity, increased the voltage of batteries in order to store more energy per electron, and lead to the development of electrolytes and binders compatible with high-performance active materials. However, Lithium-Ion Batteries (LIB) are nearing the limits of energy density achievable using a traditional battery design. Structural batteries are a fundamentally distinct route to optimize device performance, aiming to replace structural materials such as metals, plastics, and composites with multifunctional energy-storing materials. By increasing the device mass fraction that is devoted to energy storage, this strategy could more than double the battery life of electronic devices without requiring improved active materials. In this thesis, I show that rigid, load-bearing electrodes suitable for structural batteries can be fabricated using a novel silicate binder. This binder .can be used to distribute load both within layers and throughout the battery by adhering adjacent battery layers. This innovation turns the entire battery stack into a novel monolithic engineering ceramic referred to as a Structural Ceramic Battery (SCB). Unlike previously published binders, this material does not soften with the introduction of electrolyte, it promotes charge transport within the electrode, and it is compatible with a range of active materials employed in batteries today. This thesis furthermore outlines versatile manufacturing methods making it possible to produce SCBs with a wide variety of shapes and form factors amenable to large-scale production. It is envisioned that this SCB architecture will be used to improve the energy density of both ground-based and flying electric vehicles, and that as improved active material chemistries are discovered they will be dropped in to this architecture in order to promote future increases in vehicle-level energy density.

Nature is filled with incredible examples of multi-functional materials that have evolved to possess tailored mechanical behavior. This thesis explores the structure-function-property relationship and design principles of geometrically-structured suture interfaces and composites. Suture interfaces are mechanical structures found in rigid natural materials (e.g. human skulls, turtle shells, seashells) that bear loads and provide flexibility for respiration and growth. The geometry of suture interfaces has been shown to vary within species, across species, through development, and over time as organisms evolve. Using mechanical testing of 3D-printed, bio-inspired prototypes, finite element simulations, and analytical modeling, this thesis offers a systematic, comprehensive understanding of the relationship between suture interface geometry and mechanical behavior and provides insight into the suture interface geometries that exist in nature. Triangular, general trapezoidal, and hierarchical suture interfaces and composites are designed, fabricated, and tested. The stiffness, strength, toughness, and failure mechanisms of suture interfaces are shown to be directly influenced by suture geometry. Therefore, mechanical behavior of suture interfaces can be tailored or amplified through small changes in geometry. In addition, the bending behavior of suture composites can also be tailored through changes in suture interface geometry. With a detailed understanding of the deformation mechanisms of suture composites, optimal, multi-scale, hierarchical geometries can be designed.

Structural biological materials such as bone, nacre, insect cuticle, and sea sponge exoskeleton showcase the use of inferior building blocks like proteins and minerals to create structures that afford load-bearing and armor capabilities. Many of these are composite structures that possess the best of the properties of their base constituents. This is in contrast to many engineering materials, such as metals, alloys, ceramics and their composites which show improvement in one mechanical property (e.g. stiffness) at the cost of another disparate one (e.g. toughness). These excellent design examples from biology raise questions about whether similar design., and improvement in disparate properties, can be achieved using common engineering materials. The identification of broad design principles that can be transferred from biological materials to structural design, and the analysis of the utility of these principles have been missing in literature. In this thesis, we have firstly identified certain universal features of design of biological structures for mimicking with engineering materials: a) presence of geometric design at the nanoscale, b) the use of mechanically inferior building blocks, and c) the use of structural hierarchies from the nanoscale to the macroscale. We firstly design. in silico, metal-matrix nanocomposites, mimicking the geometric design found at the nanoscale in bone. We show this leads to improvements in flow strength of the material. A key finding is that limiting values of certain of these parameters shuts down dislocation-mediated plasticity leading to peak in flow strength of the structure. Metals are however, costly constituents, and we next confront the issue of whether it is possible to use a single mechanically inferior and commonly available constituent, such as silica, to create superior bioinspired structures. We turn to diatom exoskeletons, protective armor structures for algae made almost entirely of silica, and create nanoporous silica structures inspired from their geometry. We show large improvements in ductility of silica through this design, facilitated by a key size-dependent brittle-to-ductile deformation transition in these structures. Nanostructuring, while improving ductility, affects the stiffness of these structures, softening them by up to 90% of bulk silica. Hierarchical assembly of silica structures is then used to regain the stiffness lost due to nanostructuring while not losing their improvement in toughness. Finally, improvement in toughness with several levels of hierarchy is studied, to showcase a defect-tolerant behavior that arises with the addition of hierarchies, i.e., tolerance of the fracture strength to a wide range of sizes of cracks present in the structure. The importance of R-curve behavior, i.e., toughness change with the advance of a crack in the structure. to the defect-tolerance length scale is also established. These findings showcase the validity of using design principles obtained from biological materials for improvement in mechanical properties of engineering materials.

Abstract:
L’objectif de ce projet a été de concevoir des matériaux émissifs recyclables à base de lanthanide, en vue de remplacer les oxydes contenus dans les lampes fluoro-compactes (CFLs). Les lanthanides, en particulier l’Eu¹¹¹ et le Tb¹¹¹ ont été les principaux « ingrédients » dans les phosphores à cause de leurs émissions fines dans le rouge et le vert. Les complexes tris-dipicolinate de lanthanides, solubles dans l’eau sont connus pour leurs excellentes propriétés de luminescence, ce qui en fait de bons candidats pour des applications dans le domaine de l’éclairage.Cette thèse décrit l’étude des complexes de tris-dipicolinate d’Eu¹¹¹ et de Tb¹¹¹ sous forme cristalline avec différents contre-cations, ainsi que des systèmes plus complexes comme des co-cristaux ou des de cristaux cœur/coquille. Ces complexes ont également été utilisés comme dopant dans des silices mésostructurées en utilisant une méthode dites de « incipient wet impregnation » (IWI). Les propriétés photophysiques de ces matériaux ont été étudiées en détail et une forte exaltation des propriétés d’émission a été mise en évidence dans les silices. En particulier, l’influence des oscillateurs O-X a été montrée et la détermination du rendement quantique intrinsèque nous a procuré une meilleure compréhension de cette exaltation.La recyclabilité des complexes de lanthanide dans la silice a pu être réalisée avec des bons rendements. Des matériaux, émettant de la lumière blanche ont pu être obtenus en mélangeant des émetteurs rouge, vert et bleu. Le naphtalimide a été choisi comme émetteur bleu. Ainsi, le mélange des complexes d’Eu¹¹¹ et de Tb¹¹¹ et de naphtalimide au sein d’une silice mésoporeuse a conduit à la première génération de matériaux émettant de la lumière blanche et pouvant être facilement recyclés
The objective of this project was to explore recyclable lanthanide based materials suitable for replacing the oxides from compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs). Lanthanides, particularly Eu¹¹¹ and Tb¹¹¹ have been the main “ingredients” in phosphors due to their colour purity and sharp emission in the red and green range of the visible spectrum. Lanthanide tris-dipicolinates are water soluble complexes, known for their excellent photophysical properties which makes them great candidates for lighting. The thesis describes the study of Eu¹¹¹ and Tb¹¹¹ tris-dipicolinate complexes in the crystalline form with different cations, as well as more complex systems like mixed co-crystals and core/shell crystals. The Eu¹¹¹ and Tb¹¹¹ complexes were also used as dopant in mesostructured silica materials via an incipient wetness impregnation method leading to homogeneous materials. The photophysical properties these different materials were thoroughly studied and a significant exaltation of the emission was evidenced in the silica. In particular, the influence of the O-X oscillators was explored and determination of the intrinsec quantum yield gave a clearer image on this exaltation. The recyclability of the lanthanide complexes from the material has been proven with high rates. Finally, white light emitting materials were obtained by mixing red, green and blue emitters. The naphthalimide moiety was chosen as blue emitter and white luminescence was successfully obtained in the solid state and for a silica material, representing a first generation of recyclable white light emitting materials based on lanthanide tris-dipicolinate complexes

Abstract:
The development of a general approach for non-destructive chemical and biological functionalization of materials could expand opportunities for both fundamental studies and creating various device platforms. Phage display has emerged as a powerful method for selecting peptides that possess enhanced selectivity and binding affinity toward a variety of targets. In this study, a powerful yet benign approach for identifying binding motifs to materials like (Poly) dimethylsiloxane, epoxy, and (Poly) ethylenetetraphthalate and peptide nanotubes has been demonstrated via comprehensively screened phage-displayed peptides. Further, along with the development of microstructures, micropatterns and micro-molecular self-assembly, recognition with phage-displayed peptides can be specifically localized in these microstructures. In addition, the development of a facile approach for fabricating a library of precisely positioned nanostructures and microfluidic systems based on mammalian hair offers exciting opportunities in fundamental research and practical applications. The current top-down and bottom-up nanofabrication methods have been restricted in accessibility in standard labs due to their high cost and complexity. Novel fabrication methods utilizing biomimetic materials and natural proteins for large-scale nanopatterning with hierarchical assembly of functional materials have been reported. It is anticipated that these results could open up exciting opportunities in the use of peptide-recognized materials in fundamental biochemical recognition studies, as well as in applications ranging from analytical storage devices, hybrid materials, sensors, surface and interface, to cell biology.

Rahimipour, Shai, and David Donovan. Renewable, long-term, antimicrobial surface treatments through dopamine-mediated binding of peptidoglycan hydrolases. United States Department of Agriculture, January 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/2012.7597930.bard.

Abstract:
There is a need for renewable antimicrobial surface treatments that are semi- permanent, can eradicate both biofilms and planktonic pathogens over long periods of time and that do not select for resistant strains. This proposal describes a dopamine binding technology that is inexpensive, bio-friendly, non-toxic, and uses straight-forward commercially available products. The antimicrobial agents are peptidoglycanhydrolase enzymes that are non-toxic and highly refractory to resistance development. The goal of this project is to create a treatment that will be applicable to a wide variety of surfaces and will convey long-lasting antimicrobial activity. Although the immediate goal is to create staphylolytic surfaces, the technology should be applicable to any pathogen and will thus contribute to no less than 3 BARD priorities: 1) increased animal production by protecting animals from invasive and emerging diseases, 2) Antimicrobial food packaging will improve food safety and security and 3) sustainable bio- energy systems will be supported by coating fermentation vats with antimicrobials that could protect ethanolic fermentations from Lactobacillus contamination that reduces ethanol yields. The dopamine-based modification of surfaces is inspired by the strong adhesion of mussel adhesion proteins to virtually all types of surfaces, including metals, polymers, and inorganic materials. Peptidoglycanhydrolases (PGHs) meet the criteria of a surface bound antimicrobial with their site of action being extracellular peptidoglycan (the structural basis of the bacterial cell wall) that when breached causes osmotic lysis. As a proof of principle, we will develop technology using peptidoglycanhydrolase enzymes that target Staphylococcus aureus, a notoriously contagious and antimicrobial-resistant pathogen. We will test for susceptibility of the coating to a variety of environmental stresses including UV light, abrasive cleaning and dessication. In order to avoid resistance development, we intend to use three unique, synergistic, simultaneous staphylococcal enzyme activities. The hydrolases are modular such that we have created fusion proteins with three lytic activities that are highly refractory to resistance development. It is essential to use multiple simultaneous activities to avoid selecting for antimicrobial resistant strains. This strategy is applicable to both Gram positive and negative pathogens. We anticipate that upon completion of this award the technology will be available for commercialization within the time required to achieve a suitable high volume production scheme for the required enzymes (~1-2 years). We expect the modified surface will remain antimicrobial for several days, and when necessary, the protocol for renewal of the surface will be easily applied in a diverse array of environments, from food processing plants to barnyards.

Saville, Alan, and Caroline Wickham-Jones, eds. Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Scotland : Scottish Archaeological Research Framework Panel Report. Society for Antiquaries of Scotland, June 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.9750/scarf.06.2012.163.

Abstract:
Why research Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Scotland? Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology sheds light on the first colonisation and subsequent early inhabitation of Scotland. It is a growing and exciting field where increasing Scottish evidence has been given wider significance in the context of European prehistory. It extends over a long period, which saw great changes, including substantial environmental transformations, and the impact of, and societal response to, climate change. The period as a whole provides the foundation for the human occupation of Scotland and is crucial for understanding prehistoric society, both for Scotland and across North-West Europe. Within the Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods there are considerable opportunities for pioneering research. Individual projects can still have a substantial impact and there remain opportunities for pioneering discoveries including cemeteries, domestic and other structures, stratified sites, and for exploring the huge evidential potential of water-logged and underwater sites. Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology also stimulates and draws upon exciting multi-disciplinary collaborations. Panel Task and Remit The panel remit was to review critically the current state of knowledge and consider promising areas of future research into the earliest prehistory of Scotland. This was undertaken with a view to improved understanding of all aspects of the colonization and inhabitation of the country by peoples practising a wholly hunter-fisher-gatherer way of life prior to the advent of farming. In so doing, it was recognised as particularly important that both environmental data (including vegetation, fauna, sea level, and landscape work) and cultural change during this period be evaluated. The resultant report, outlines the different areas of research in which archaeologists interested in early prehistory work, and highlights the research topics to which they aspire. The report is structured by theme: history of investigation; reconstruction of the environment; the nature of the archaeological record; methodologies for recreating the past; and finally, the lifestyles of past people – the latter representing both a statement of current knowledge and the ultimate aim for archaeologists; the goal of all the former sections. The document is reinforced by material on-line which provides further detail and resources. The Palaeolithic and Mesolithic panel report of ScARF is intended as a resource to be utilised, built upon, and kept updated, hopefully by those it has helped inspire and inform as well as those who follow in their footsteps. Future Research The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarized under four key headings:  Visibility: Due to the considerable length of time over which sites were formed, and the predominant mobility of the population, early prehistoric remains are to be found right across the landscape, although they often survive as ephemeral traces and in low densities. Therefore, all archaeological work should take into account the expectation of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic ScARF Panel Report iv encountering early prehistoric remains. This applies equally to both commercial and research archaeology, and to amateur activity which often makes the initial discovery. This should not be seen as an obstacle, but as a benefit, and not finding such remains should be cause for question. There is no doubt that important evidence of these periods remains unrecognised in private, public, and commercial collections and there is a strong need for backlog evaluation, proper curation and analysis. The inadequate representation of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic information in existing national and local databases must be addressed.  Collaboration: Multi-disciplinary, collaborative, and cross- sector approaches must be encouraged – site prospection, prediction, recognition, and contextualisation are key areas to this end. Reconstructing past environments and their chronological frameworks, and exploring submerged and buried landscapes offer existing examples of fruitful, cross-disciplinary work. Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology has an important place within Quaternary science and the potential for deeply buried remains means that geoarchaeology should have a prominent role.  Innovation: Research-led projects are currently making a substantial impact across all aspects of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic archaeology; a funding policy that acknowledges risk and promotes the innovation that these periods demand should be encouraged. The exploration of lesser known areas, work on different types of site, new approaches to artefacts, and the application of novel methodologies should all be promoted when engaging with the challenges of early prehistory.  Tackling the ‘big questions’: Archaeologists should engage with the big questions of earliest prehistory in Scotland, including the colonisation of new land, how lifestyles in past societies were organized, the effects of and the responses to environmental change, and the transitions to new modes of life. This should be done through a holistic view of the available data, encompassing all the complexities of interpretation and developing competing and testable models. Scottish data can be used to address many of the currently topical research topics in archaeology, and will provide a springboard to a better understanding of early prehistoric life in Scotland and beyond.
