  • A multiple solution, laboratory-scale delivery system and its applications

    Creator:
    Gilbuena, Debra M.
    Abstract:
    Researchers around the world use various solution-based deposition techniques to deposit thin films with multiple layers that typically require multiple rounds of deposition. Some such techniques include successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR), and layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition. One of the main issues with deposition of these types of films...

  • Preparation and characterization of polymer-SiO₂ hybrids

    Creator:
    Ferguson, Morgan L.
    Abstract:
    In a search for designed materials that mimic those found in biological systems, combining polymers with inorganic materials in sol-gel chemistry processes has gained momentum in the research world since the 1990's. This work methodically investigated the properties of several related polymer-SiO₂ hybrids prepared by a simple methodology that could...

  • Synthesis and characterization of Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ thin films for microelectromechanical systems

    Creator:
    Brookshire, Kirsten L.
    Abstract:
    Pb(Zr,Ti)O₃ (PZT) is a very attractive material for use in piezoelectric-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) due to its high piezoelectric coefficients and ability for large displacements with relatively low applied fields (as compared to electrostatic-based MEMS). The piezoelectric effect is strongly anisotropic, thus it is very desirable to control the crystallographic...

  • Development of bi-based lead-free piezoelectric materials : thin film piezoelectric materials via PVD and CSD routes

    Creator:
    Jeon, Yu Hong
    Abstract:
    Piezoelectric materials have been widely used in electromechanical actuators, sensors, and ultrasonic transducers. Among these materials, lead zirconate titanate Pb(Zr[subscript 1‐x]Ti[subscript x])O₃ (PZT) has been primarily investigated due to its excellent piezoelectric properties. However, environmental concerns due to the toxicity of PbO have led to investigations into alternative materials systems....

  • Characterizing Accelerated Weathering Conditions for Wood Adhesive Bonds

    Creator:
    Sutfin, Micah L.
    Abstract:
    Accelerated weathering (AW) tests have become a requirement for many wood composite products. This project monitored temperature and moisture content of specimens undergoing AW exposure for the following standards: ASTM D3434 (automatic boil test), CSA O112.9 (boil-dry-freeze), and PS2 (Section 7.17, 6-cycle VPS). Each AW procedure was conducted with three...

  • Effects of Temperature and Moisture Content on Bonding Performance of Mass Plywood Panels

    Creator:
    Wind, Matthias C.
    Abstract:
    As a new product patented by Freres Lumber Company in 2018, little information exists for manu-facturing procedures of mass plywood panels (MPP). At first glance, MPP may appear to be ply-wood, laminated veneer lumber (LVL), or similar to conventional cross-laminated timber (CLT). Often manufacturers, as well as users, of MPP...
