Women in Science Symposium is off to a great start! Can't wait to hear Dr. Cagle speak in a few minutes.

- ! There is a need for systems that possess the significant modulus and fatigue resistance (toughness) of DN and TN systems, while also being able to undergo high levels of cyclic loading without experiencing permanent mechanical fatigue. Researchers in the CSU Walter Scott, Jr. College of Engineering, Colorado State University, in the Bailey Research Group, have developed hydrogel compositions that exploit reversible energy absorption to achieve exceptional fatigue resistance, long-term mechanical stability, and elastic recovery ideal for mechanically-demanding applications, particularly those involving repetitive cyclic loading.

Inventors include: CSU Professor Travis Bailey, Chen Guo, Jackson Lewis, Kristine Fischenich, Tammy Haut Donahue, Dilanji Wijayasekara, Ph.D, Matthew Cowan, Douglas Gin, Richard Noble.
