(2012-07-16)Diversion in carbonates is more difficult than in sandstones because of the ability of acid to significantly increase the permeability in carbonates as it reacts in the pore spaces and flow channels of matrix. In-situ ...
-
(2014-12-12)Corrosion induced deterioration is one of the main reason for repair and rehabilitation programs in conventional steel reinforced concrete bridge decks. Of all bridges in the United States, over 50 percent are constructed ...
-
(2012-08-29)The construction of nanoscale polymeric objects with complex, well-defined structures and regiochemical functionalities is of great importance, because it enables the fabrication of soft materials with tunable properties. ...
-
(2011-08-08)The research focuses on the critical review and prediction of flash points of high molecular weight compounds used mainly in the specialty chemical area. Thus far this area of high molecular weight specialty chemicals has ...
-
(2018-05-07)Polymer nano-composites may be engineered with specific electrical properties to achieve good coupling with electromagnetic energy sources. This enables a wide range of novel processing techniques where controlling the ...
-
(2012-02-14)Studying chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) in a high-temperature/high-salinity (HT/HS) reservoir will help expand the application of chemical EOR to more challenging environments. Until recently, chemical EOR was not ...
-
(2010-07-14)Alkaline Surfactant Polymer (ASP) process is a tertiary method of oil recovery that has promising results for future development. It has already been implemented in different areas of the United States such as Wyoming, ...
-
(2010-10-12)As part of a larger effort to understand the fundamental knowledge of polymer scratch behavior, this dissertation is focused on both experimental study and numerical analysis of scratch deformation of a broad range of ...
-
(2015-09-07)Environmental remediation of pollutants from water systems is an expanding billion dollar industry. Recently, engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have been of particular interest to this field as they hold promise in improving ...
-
(2020-05-14)Autografts remain the current “gold standard” for treating craniomaxillofacial (CMF) bone defects despite the difficulty in fitting rigid grafts into complex shaped defects. To improve CMF bone treatment, the Grunlan Lab ...

(2013-08-26)This dissertation is devoted to the virtual investigation of the mechanical behavior of micro/nano polymer composites (MNPCs). Advanced composite materials are favored by the automotive industry and army departments for ...
-
(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. ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)The morphological investigation of AFR-PEPA-N and the development of a new polyimide have been established herein. AFR-PEPA-N is an imide oligomer that was created out of the need to attain a high temperature polyimide ...

Multiply Complex, Non-Toxic, Anti-Fouling Surfaces Designed for Marine and Biomedical Applications (2014-12-09)Biofouling, the undesired accumulation of biological organisms on a surface, is a problem that plagues a wide spectrum of materials. Because of the ban of heavy metal paint formulations, there has been a rapid movement ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Soluble polymer supports that could be used in thermomorphic and latent biphasic systems have been prepared and analyzed for their potential application as supports for facilitated synthesis and catalysis. Phase selective ...
-
(2023-05-02)This work focuses on high solids loading (≥80% weight) polymer-particle composites, a specific subset of heterogeneous materials where particles are suspended in a polymer matrix. These composites exhibit complex behaviors ...
-
(2012-08-17)Stroke is the number one cause of adult disability in the United States and the third leading cause of death in the United States, Europe, and China.12 It is estimated 5% to 15% of all strokes are caused by ruptured ...
