  • Investigation of Styrene-Free Unsaturated Polyester Resins for Fiber-Reinforced Composites

    Creator:
    Wu, Yili
    Abstract:
    Most of existing commercial unsaturated polyester (UPE) resins are typically composed of a UPE and a high amount of highly volatile, flammable, and toxic styrene. The emission of hazardous styrene in the handling of the UPE resins and the preparation and use of fiber-reinforced UPE composites poses severe hazards to...

  • Analyzing the Kinetics and Thermodynamics of Surface Reactions using Density Functional Theory

    Creator:
    Sprowl, Lynza H.
    Abstract:
    The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...

  • Fabrication and application of polymer based microfluidic devices

    Creator:
    Koesdjojo, Myra T.
    Abstract:
    The concept of reducing laboratory operations in scale such that they fit on a microfluidic chip has been met with great enthusiasm. Lab-on-a-chip devices promise to be cost effective to operate due to reduced reagent consumption, have the potential to offer shorter analysis times due to their short path lengths,...
