Solution-based deposition of functional thin films : development of a glucose biosensor and thermal processing of CZTS nanoparticle films

Creator:

Durgan, Christopher J.

Abstract:

The development of solution-based methods for deposition of different thin film material is presented as an alternative to high cost vacuum-based methods. For certain materials, vacuum techniques are unsuitable for processing. Additionally, vacuum-based processes present high capital costs associated with equipment, and slow processing times. Atmospheric pressure solution based techniques...

Continuous microwave extraction of peppermint oil

Creator:

Smith, Connor J.

Abstract:

Steam distillation has been the common method of extraction of essential oils from plants for more than a century. The use of microwave energy has been suggested as an alternative distillation method that would: reduce water usage, dependence on non-renewable energy sources, and the carbon footprint. A byproduct of this...
