Fluidic Tuning of a Four-Arm Spiral-Based Frequency Selective Surface
(2011-08-08)Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) provide a variety of spatial filtering functions, such as band-pass or band-stop properties in a radome or other multilayer structure. This filtering is typically achieved through ... -
Low Cost Paper-Based and Inkjet-Printed Wireless Sensors
Developing low cost sensor with wireless capability will be researched through exploring different circuit patterns for detecting change, using conductive ink printed as a circuit onto paper substrates, and analyzing which ... -
Photocurable Inorganic-Organic Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications
(2011-02-22)There are two primary objectives of this dissertation research. The first objective was to prepare a library of inorganic-organic hydrogels from methacrylated star polydimethylsiloxane (PDMSstar-MA) and diacrylated ... -
Study of CO2 Mobility Control in Heterogeneous Media Using CO2 Thickening Agents
(2012-10-19)CO2 injection is an effective method for performing enhanced oil recovery (EOR). There are several factors that make CO2 useful for EOR, including promoting swelling, reducing oil viscosity, decreasing oil density, and ... -
A Study of Microfluidic Reconfiguration Mechanisms Enabled by Functionalized Dispersions of Colloidal Material for Radio Frequency Applications
(2010-07-14)Communication and reconnaissance systems are requiring increasing flexibility concerning functionality and efficiency for multiband and broadband frequency applications. Circuit-based reconfiguration mechanisms continue ... -
Thermoresponsive double network hydrogel membranes for glucose biosensors
(2012-04-19)Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) hydrogels reversibly switch from a water-swollen to a deswollen state when heated above their volume phase transition temperature (VPTT = ~ 33 °C). It has been shown that PNIPAAm ...
