  • Developing Design Model for Cellulose Nanocomposites

    Creator:
    Shir Mohammadi, Meisam
    Abstract:
    Today nano scale materials are being used for wide range of applications. One promising topic in nano scale materials is using them for reinforcement of different polymeric materials to reach desirable stiffness properties. The stiffness of these materials is mostly found experimentally because the nanocomposite community lacks a decent analytical...

  • Study of Interphase in Polylactic Acid and Cellulose Nanocrystal Composite Films

    Creator:
    Rao, Pratish Ramesh
    Abstract:
    Polylactic acid (PLA), a renewable material, is used widely in a variety of commercial and specialty applications. However, certain limitations such as high temperature stability and brittleness limit its applicability. This problem is addressed by reinforcing PLA with a variety of materials but the process gives rise to different issues...

  • An experimental approach to analyze large notched composite panels loaded in out-of-plane shear

    Creator:
    Froemming, Tyler M.
    Abstract:
    Identifying material characteristics of composites is important in designing any structural system. The aerospace industry relies on these material properties not only to design a functional aircraft, but also a safe and reliable one. Since carbon fiber composites are relatively new materials, little is known about its characteristics under certain...
