Hardin, Garrett Ransford (2018-08-03)*Part of this abstract has been reprinted with permission from “Interfacial Fracture of Nanowire Electrodes of Lithium-Ion Batteries” by G. R. Hardin, Y. Zhang, C. D. Fincher et al, 2017. JOM Journal of the Minerals, Metals ...
-
Liu, Yu (2020-07-01)Ductile fracture involving nucleation, growth and coalescence of microscale voids limits the manufacturability and mechanical performance of a variety of structural materials. This phenomenon is affected by length-scales ...
-
Shockley, Mitchell Foster (2019-07-19)Biodegradable polymers have been used for a variety of biomedical devices since the middle of the 20th century. The researched applications have ranged from dissolvable sutures to, in more recent years, implantable scaffolds. ...
-
Song, Ruyue (2020-11-11)This study presents a thermodynamics framework for describing responses of viscoelastic materials undergoing microstructural changes when exposed to mechanical loadings. The constitutive models are derived based on multiple ...
-
Humood, Mohammad Muneer Mutlaq (2018-08-02)Polymer-based multilayer nanocomposites have become favorable material choice for many applications such as gas barriers, water membranes, optoelectronic devices, biosensors, corrosion inhibitors and energy devices. They ...

Shakil, Ahmad Shahedi (2021-12-10)In this research, nanomechanical and nanotribological studies have been performed though experiments, finite element analysis, and analytical modeling to obtain maximum reliability of different thin film applications in ...
-
Zheng, Xiaoyu (2017-12-13)A novel structured gold nano-particles loaded TiO2 photocatalysts with Al2O3 interlayer were prepared. Photocatalytic activities of CO2 reduction with water were tested to characterize the photocatalysis mechanism of these ...
-
Fincher, Coleman Dillinger (2020-07-29)Realization of alkali metal anodes would enable batteries with enormous capacities. However, during electrochemical cycling, the deposited metal frequently forms dendrites that can penetrate battery separators, leading to ...
-
Jha, Swarn (2021-10-26)Bio-derived carbon-based-supercapacitor electrodes present an economical solution as sustainable sources for energy storage. Serious knowledge gaps exist for bio-derived carbon electrodes in terms of causes of largely ...
-
Feng, Xuhui (2022-03-14)Global warming and climate change are among the most critical issues in the 21st century. Emission control of CO2 and CH4, the top two greenhouse gases, is the key to dealing with those issues. As one of the most promising ...
-
Huang, Min (2022-11-15)A total of 90.5% of medical device sterilization is performed using Ethylene oxide (EtO) and gamma irradiation, while less than 5.5% incorporates accelerator technology (electron beam and X-ray). However, the government, ...
-
Tsigki, Vasilis (2023-08-03)Extreme conditions dictate the utilization of advanced materials and the development of state-of-the-art processes to accommodate the strong needs of low friction and wear in several bearing applications. Such extreme ...
