CBE PhD Dissertation Defense | “The effects of platelet signaling inhibitors on clot development under flow”

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract:  "Syk and Src family kinases (SFK) inhibitors interfere with signaling from GPVI, α2β1, αIIbβ3, and GPIb-IX-V to reduce thrombotic risk or induce bleeding episodes. Collagen-mediated clustering of platelet GPVI results in phosphorylation of SFKs such as Lyn and Fyn, and active Lyn is constitutively bound to GPVI to allow rapid signaling. During clotting under […]

MSE Ph.D. Defense: “Understanding the Fracture Behavior of Polymer-infiltrated Nanoparticle Films” (Yiwei Qiang)

Room 337, Towne Building 220 South 33rd Street, Philadelphia, PA, United States

Abstract: Polymer-infiltrated nanoparticle films (PINFs) are a new class of polymer nanocomposites that overcome many of the challenges in manufacturing highly loaded nanocomposite films (PNCFs). PINFs have a wide range of applications as functional coatings and membranes and have excellent mechanical properties, including high stiffness, hardness, scratch and wear resistance. Fracture toughness is another critical […]
