Electroresponsive layer-by-layer (LbL) polymer films and polymer nanocomposite films were investigated as model systems for electrically triggered drug delivery applications and "mechanomutable" surface coating applications. Two strategies were implemented in the design of these electroresponsive films: the use of redox-active, chargeshifting nanoparticles and the control over local pH utilizing the electrochemical reduction of dissolved oxygen. These strategies and the multiple materials systems explored are described below. Redox-active Prussian Blue (PB) nanoparticles exhibit multiple, stable oxidation states and can shift their charge in response to mild electric potentials. The inherently negatively charged particles may be self-assembled into LbL films along with positively charged polyelectrolytes. When the PB in an LbL film is oxidized to its neutral state, dissolution of the film occurs as cohesive ionic crosslinks are broken and excess charge in the film brings in ions and water for electroneutrality, which solubilize the film components. The release of the polyanion dextran sulfate and the small molecule antibiotic gentamicin sulfate were precisely controlled with an electric potential. When PB is reduced, the negative charge on the particle is doubled, which results in film swelling and a decrease in stiffness. In films comprising PB and linear polyethyleneimine, reversible thickness changes on the order of 5-10% and reversible elastic modulus changes on the order of 50% (between 3.40 GPa and 1.75 GPa) were observed. Employing the second strategy mentioned above, the local pH near an electrode surface may be increased to more basic values when dissolved oxygen is electrochemically reduced to hydroxide ions. In the first model system explored, hydrogen bonded (H-bonded) films comprising polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVPON) and tannic acid (TA), were dissolved at constant bulk pH by applying mild potentials (-0.25 V to -1.00 V vs. Ag/AgCl). The dissolution mechanism and kinetics could be tuned with the magnitude of the applied voltage and the concentration of dissolved oxygen. In the second model system explored, films comprising polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and sulfonated polystyrene (SPS) were found to undergo reversible and dramatic swelling/deswelling transitions on the order of roughly 300 vol% and mechanical transitions on the order of 600-800% (shear modulus between 230 kPa and 1.9 MPa and loss modulus between 90 kPa and 620 kPa). This thesis contributes to the applied materials science branch of chemical engineering. New polymer and polymer nanocomposite thin films were developed that can be further engineered and incorporated into implantable drug delivery devices for electrically triggered drug delivery or incorporated into MEMS and microfluidic systems for flow control or biomedical applications. Furthermore, the model systems presented here open doors for fundamental work on the transport of electrons, ions, and water through these electroresponsive films and the implications of transport phenomena on the control over film dissolution and swelling responses.

Abstract:
Layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly was used to produce highly conductive thin films with carbon black (CB) and polyelectrolytes. The effects of sonication and pHadjustment of the deposition mixtures on the conductivity and transparency of deposited films were studied. Drying temperature was also evaluated with regard to thin film resistance. Sonication and oven drying at 70oC produced films with the lowest sheet resistance (~ 1500 Ω/sq), which corresponds to a bulk resistivity of 0.2 Ω⋠cm for a 14- bilayer film that is 1.3 μm thick. Increasing the pH of the PAA-stabilized mixture and decreasing the pH of the PEI-stabilized mixture resulted in films with 70% transparency due to thinner deposition from increased polymer charge density. Varying the number of bilayers allows both sheet resistance and optical transparency to be tailored over a broad range. Variation of deposition mixture composition led to further reduction of sheet resistance per bilayer. A 14 bilayer film, made from mixtures of 0.25wt% carbon black in 0.05wt% PAA and plain 0.1wt% PEI, was found to have a sheet resistance of approximately 325 Ω/sq. Bulk resistivity was not improved due to the film being 8 μm thick, but this combination of small thickness and low resistance is an order of magnitude better than carbon black filled composites made via traditional melt or solution processing. Applications for this technology lie in the areas of flexible electronics, electrostatic charge dissipation, and electromagnetic interference shielding.

Abstract:
Electron transfer phenomena in proteins represent one of the most common types of biochemical reactions. They play a central role in energy conversion pathways in living cells, and are crucial components in respiration and photosynthesis. These complex biochemical reaction cascades consist of a series of proteins and protein complexes that couple a charge transfer to different forms of chemical energy. The efficiency and sophisticated optimisation of signal transfer in these natural redox chains has inspired engineering of artificial architectures mimicking essential properties of their natural analogues. Implementation of direct electron transfer (DET) in protein assemblies was a breakthrough in bioelectronics, providing a simple and efficient way for coupling biological recognition events to a signal transducer. DET avoids the use of redox mediators, reducing potential interferences and side reactions, as well as being more compatible with in vivo conditions. However, only a few haem proteins, including the redox protein cytochrome c (cyt.c), and blue copper enzymes show efficient DET on different kinds of electrodes. Previous investigations with cyt.c have mainly focused on heterogeneous electron transfer of monolayers of this protein on gold. An important advance was the fabrication of cyt.c multilayers by electrostatic layer-by-layer self-assembly. The ease of fabrication, the stability, and the controllable permeability of polyelectrolyte multilayers have made them particularly attractive for electroanalytical applications. With cyt.c and sulfonated polyaniline it was for the first time possible that fully electro-active multilayers of the redox protein could be prepared. This approach was extended to design an analytical signal chain based on multilayers of cyt.c and xanthine oxidase (XOD). The system does not need an external mediator but relies on an in situ generation of a mediating radical and thus allows a signal transfer from hypoxanthine via the substrate converting enzyme and cyt.c to the electrode. Another kind of a signal chain is based on assembling proteins in complexes on electrodes in such a way that a direct protein-protein electron transfer becomes feasible. This design does not need a redox mediator in analogy to natural protein communication. For this purpose, cyt.c and the enzyme bilirubin oxidase (BOD, EC 1.3.3.5) are co-immobilized in a self-assembled polyelectrolyte multilayer on gold electrodes. Although these two proteins are not natural reaction partners, the protein architecture facilitates an electron transfer from the electrode via multiple protein layers to molecular oxygen resulting in a significant catalytic reduction current. Finally, we describe a novel strategy for multi-protein layer-by-layer self-assembly combining cyt.c with an enzyme sulfite oxidase (SOx) without use of any additional polymer. Electrostatic interactions between these two proteins with rather separated pI values during the assembly process from a low ionic strength buffer were found sufficient for the layer-by-layer deposition of the both biomolecules. It is anticipated that the concepts described in this work will stimulate further progress in multilayer design of even more complex biomimetic signal cascades taking advantage of direct communication between proteins.
Elektronentransferphänomene in Proteinen stellen den häufigsten Typ biochemischer Reaktionen dar. Sie spielen eine zentrale Rolle bei der Energieumwandlung in der Zelle und sind entscheidende Komponenten in der Atmung und Photosynthese. Diese komplexen Kaskaden biochemischer Reaktionen setzen sich aus einer Reihe von Proteinen und Proteinkomplexen zusammen, die den Energietransfer an verschiedene Formen chemischer Energie koppeln. Die große Effektivität und Selektivität des Signaltransfers in diesen natürlichen Redoxketten war Vorbild für die Entwicklung künstlicher Architekturen, die die wesentlichen Eigenschaften ihrer natürlichen Analoga nachahmen. Die Implementierung des direkten Elektronentransfers (DET) von Proteinen mit Elektroden war ein Durchbruch im Bereich der Bioelektronik. Sie lieferte einen einfachen und effizienten Weg für das Koppeln biologischer Erkennungsereignisse an einen Signalumwandler. Durch den DET können Redoxmediatoren vermieden und damit potentielle Grenzflächen und Nebenreaktionen reduziert werden. Ebenso wird damit die Kompatibilität für in vivo Bedingungen erhöht. Jedoch zeigen nur einige Hämproteine wie das Redoxprotein Cytochrom c (Cyt c) und blaue Kupferproteine einen effizienten DET auf verschiedenen Elektrodentypen. Bisherige Untersuchungen mit Cyt c konzentrierten sich hauptsächlich auf den heterogenen Elektronentransfer von Monoschichten dieses Proteins auf Gold. Ein wichtiger Fortschritt war die Herstellung von Cyt c Multischichten durch die elektrostatische Layer-by-Layer-Technik. Die einfache Herstellung, die Stabilität sowie die kontrollierbaren Permeationseigenschaften von Polyelektrolyt-Multischichten machte sie besonders attraktiv für elektroanalytische Anwendungen. So gelang es auch zum ersten Mal vollständig elektroaktive Multischichten aus Cyt c und Polyanilinsulfonsäure zu präparieren. Dieser Ansatz wurde hier erweitert, um eine analytische Signalkette auf der Basis von Multischichten aus Cyt c und Xanthinoxidase zu entwerfen. Das System bedarf keinen externen Mediator, es hängt jedoch von der in situ Generierung eines vermittelnden Radikals ab und erlaubt daher einen Signaltransfer von Hypoxanthin über ein substratumwandelndes Enzym und Cyt c zur Elektrode. Eine andere Art von Signalketten basiert auf der Assemblierung von Proteinen in Komplexen auf Elektroden in solcher Art und Weise, daß ein direkter Protein-Protein-Elektronentransfer möglich wird. Dieser Ansatz benötigt keinen Redoxmediator in Analogie zu Beispielen aus dem biologischen Signaltransfer. Zu diesem Zweck werden Cyt c und das Enzym Bilirubinoxidase mit einem selbst-assemblierenden Polyelektrolyten auf einer Goldelektrode koimmobilisiert. Obwohl diese zwei Proteine keine natürlichen Reaktionspartner sind, unterstützt die Protein-Architektur einen Elektronentransfer von der Elektrode über mehrere Proteinschichten zu molekularem Sauerstoff und ergibt einen signifikanten katalytischen Reduktionsstrom. Schließlich wird eine neue Strategie beschrieben für eine Selbstassemblierung von Proteinen ohne zusätzlichen Polyelektrolyten - am Beispiel der Kombination von Cyt c mit Sulfitoxidase. Es stellte sich heraus, daß die elektrostatische Wechselwirkung zwischen diesen zwei Proteinen mit ziemlich weit voneinander entfernt liegenden pI-Werten während des Assemblierungsprozesses durch einen Puffer mit geringer Ionenstärke ausreicht um die beiden Biomoleküle nach dem Layer-by-Layer-Prinzip auf einer Elektrode abzuscheiden. Es wird erwartet, daß das entwickelte Konzept von Multiprotein-Assemblaten auf Elektroden weitere Fortschritte bei dem Entwurf von Multischichten und sogar noch komplexeren biomimetischen Signalkaskaden anregen wird und dabei der Vorteil der direkten Kommunikation zwischen Proteinen genutzt wird.

This work applies the processing technique of layer-by-layer (LBL) assembly to the creation and development of new electrochemically active materials. Elements of the thin-film electrochromic cell were chosen as a particular focus for LBL fabrication. Layer-by-layer assembly is the ideal processing tool to tailor the electrochemical systems within electrochromic cells because modulating processing conditions can greatly impact the nanoscale composition and morphology of the resultant films. For the first time, this control was used to: 1) intelligently design electrochromic LBL assembled composite films that facilitated ion motion for faster switching and exhibited enhanced or shifted coloration, 2) combine multiple electrochromic materials into novel LBL assembled composites with even higher contrast, faster switching, and multiple colored states, and finally 3) develop and optimize several LBL assembled polymer electrolyte films that display high ionic conductivity and sound mechanical integrity. Electrochromic cell elements were chosen not only for their undeveloped commercial potential, but also because they incorporate multifunctional material systems with alternative applications. Studies of LBL fabrication and the operation of electrochromic cells provide insight into intermolecular interactions, internal and external film interfaces, thin film electrochemistry, and charged species mobility in polymer solids. First investigated was the capability of LBL assembly to alter the properties of electrochromic films by varying molecular blending.
(cont.) The electrochromophores for this investigation were appropriated from all corners of the materials spectrum, including discrete electrochromic polymers, conjugated polymers, soft colloidal suspensions, and inorganic particle dispersions. In each system, the influence of assembly conditions and film composition was elucidated; in particular systems the hydrophobicity, acidity, and morphology of the films were found to impact the electrochemistry and optical character of the films, providing a means to modulate these properties by directing LBL assembly design choices. Because of the high uniformity and thickness control allowed by LBL assembly, the contrast and switching performance of all LBL assembled electrochromic films were in general superior to those of films containing the same electrochromophores fabricated by other methods. One particularly promising system involved novel LBL assembled films containing the same electrochromophores fabricated by other methods. One particularly promising system involved novel LBL assembled films containing electrochromic metal hexacyanoferrate nanocrystals of the Prussian blue family. These films displayed fast and deep coloration; synthetic nanocrystal variation extended absorbance over a broad spectral range so that these inorganic/polymer composite films could potentially be considered as elements in a full-color switchable CMYK display. The power of the LBL assembly technique was leveraged further with the successful fabrication of "dual electrochrome" electrodes ...

Abstract:
This chapter describes an experiment on the inverse spin Hall effect (ISHE) induced by spin pumping. Spin pumping is the generation of spin currents as a result of magnetization M(t) precession; in a ferromagnetic/paramagnetic bilayer system, a conduction-electron spin current is pumped out of the ferromagnetic layer into the paramagnetic conduction layer in a ferromagnetic resonance condition. The sample used in the experiment is a Ni81Fe19/Pt bilayer film comprising a 10-nm-thick ferromagnetic Ni81Fe19layer and a 10-nm-thick paramagnetic Pt layer. For the measurement, the sample system is placed near the centre of a TE011 microwave cavity at which the magnetic-field component of the microwave mode is maximized while the electric-field component is minimized.

Abstract:
This chapter reappraises the connections between narration and argumentation. It contests the claim that narrative is merely a fictional layer superimposed on the nonfictional content (and, by extension, the true essence) of the essay film. The work examined in this chapter explores some of the ways in which narration can give expression to argumentation. The essay form is inherently fragile, with a particular potential for disassemblage. The chapter focuses on epistolarity as a disjunctive narrative form marked by distance and by absence and on the counternarrative aspects of lyricism, based on its tendency to fragmentation, allusiveness, metaphoricity, formalism, and affectivity. Two long-standing traditions are addressed, the epistolary essay via an engagement with Lettres de Panduranga (Letters from Panduranga, 2015) by Nguyễn Trinh Thi and the lyric essay via a study of The Idea of North (1995) by Rebecca Baron.

Abstract:
The coda examines how cultural producers contribute to the Latina/o counter-dictatorial imaginary using non-print-based artistic forms. It focuses in depth on the murals in Balmy Alley in San Francisco’s Mission District, examining how their depiction of authoritarian repression in Central America coexists alongside representations of other forms of oppression in the United States. The murals generate linked histories of violence and are material testaments to interracial solidarity and a collective struggle for social justice. The coda’s analysis of the palimpsests of paint and the visual polyphony across the walls of Balmy Alley adds another texture and layer to the counter-dictatorial imaginary traced in the preceding chapters. It ends by suggesting that other forms of Latina/o cultural production such as music, film, and Day of the Dead altars work together with the murals and the novel to capture the afterlives of the dictatorial past and current dictatorial forms of oppression.

Abstract:
Darwin has long been hailed as forefather to behavioural science, and even more so nowadays, with the growing popularity of evolutionary psychologies. This is the first book to examine Darwin’s own extensive writings about psychological matters. It finds that Darwin’s fulcrum was the agency of living creatures—both in his psychology and in his theory of evolution. A careful reading of Darwin’s writings on topics from climbing plants to babies shows that no individual-based theory of evolution can explain everything about human action. The interpersonal domain, group-life and culture, are also key, whether we consider the dynamics of conscience, emotional expressions or the dramas of desire. For example, Darwin argues that the anatomy and physiology of evolutionarily ‘purposeless’ facial movements gain meaning through their perception by others. His explanation of blushing adds a layer of complexity to such recognition—my blush results from my perception of how you are reading me. A similar reflexive dynamic governs how Darwin understands sexual desire, conscience, the setting of social standards, and the place of culture in human agency. Testing the main plank of Darwin’s psychology—that a capacity for group-interaction underpins the most human aspects of human agency—has awaited contemporary research, being recently confirmed by film-studies of young babies. Darwin’s writings frame a surprisingly well-resourced arena for elaboration of a socialized, agentic account of how we and our fellow creatures live. Moreover, Darwin stands at the forefront of moves toward an evolutionary biology in which organisms lead and genes follow.

Abstract:
Copper Indium Selenium (CIS), due to its tunable wide band gap, has been widely studied for photovoltaic applications. In this work, CIS nanoparticles have been fabricated and functionalized with poly(sodium-4-styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and/or poly-allylamine hydrochloride (PAH), which allow them to disperse in aqueous solution. The resulting aqueous dispersion of CIS nanoparticles have subsequently been used to construct thin multilayer CIS films on flexible substrates using Layer-by-Layer (LbL) nanoassembly process. LbL nanoassembly is a cost-effective process that allows construction of composite nanoscale multilayer coatings of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, nanoparticles and/or other nanomaterials. The results from Quartz Crystal Microbalance (QCM) show that the CIS nanoparticles with other polyelectrolytes, such as PSS and PAH, can be used to deposit thin films of controlled nanometer range thickness using LbL process. The utilization of the developed LbL based CIS films in solar cell fabrication is currently in progress.
