Dookhith, Aaliyah Z; Zhang, Zidan; ganesan, venkat; Sanoja, Gabriel, 2025, "Designing Soft and Tough Multiple-Network Elastomers: Impact of RDRPs on Filler Network Architecture and Fracture Toughness", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/OVB8P1, Texas Data Repository, V1
Polymer networks are crucial for engineering and biomedical applications; however, their excessive brittleness in the absence of viscoelastic dissipation limits their use in applications requiring high temperatures and water concentrations. Multiple-networks, consisting of a stif... |

Sanoja, Gabriel, 2022, "Tailoring Rate- and Temperature-Dependent Fracture of Polyether Networks with Organoaluminum Catalysts", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/YDYNVY, Texas Data Repository, V1
Polyethers are ubiquitous in engineering and biomedical applications because their oxygen rich backbone allows them to interact with a variety of polar small molecules such as ions, gases, and pharmaceuticals. These materials are also able to sustain large reversible deformations... |

Sanoja, Gabriel; Xavier Morelle; Jean Comtet; C. Joshua Yeh; Matteo Ciccotti; Costantino Creton, 2021, "Why is Mechanical Fatigue different from Toughness in Elastomers? The Role of Polymer Chain Scission", https://doi.org/10.18738/T8/XPDHOL, Texas Data Repository, V1
Although elastomers often experience 10-100 million cycles prior to failure, there is currently a limited understanding of their resistance to fatigue crack propagation. We tagged soft and tough double-network elastomers with mechanofluorescent probes, and quantified damage by sa... |
