Uniform residence time in microreactor-assisted solution deposition of CdS thin-films for CIGS photovoltaic cells

Creator:: Hires, Clayton Lamar
Abstract:: Photovoltaic (PV) cells have long been an attractive alternative for the consumption of fossil fuels but current manufacturing practices suffer from poor energy efficiency, large carbon footprints, low material utilization, high processing temperatures and high solvent usage. A critical step in PV production is the deposition of CdS as a...
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis
Full Text:: sincere gratitude to my major professor Dr. Brian K. Paul, first for inspiring my interest in micro/nano

The role of material properties in an ISBM process to manufacture polypropylene bottles from virgin and PCR resins

Creator:: Chen, Cheng-Ting
Abstract:: Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) resin grades have been successfully incorporated into plastic ink supply cartridges, with 80% of cartridge products containing 45% to 70% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (rPET). With this tremendously successful experience, incorporation of recycled polypropylene (rPP) into Injection Stretch Blow Molding (ISBM) bottles has been attempted to increase sustainability...

Numerical Simulations and Microscale Analyses of Offshore Anchor-Granular Material Systems

Creator:: Zhang, Nan
Abstract:: Anchoring systems are used to hold floating offshore devices (e.g., energy devices, oil platforms) to keep them on their stations. Anchors are embedded into the seabed soils. In some cases, the interface shear between anchor and seabed soils together with anchor self-weight provide the holding capacity of the anchoring systems....

Nickel nanoparticles-assisted diffusion brazing of stainless steel 316 for microfluidic applications

Creator:: Tiwari, Santosh K.
Abstract:: Transient liquid-phase diffusion brazing is used in precision, hermetic joining applications as a replacement for diffusion bonding to reduce cycle times, reduce bonding pressure and improve yields. Studies showed that the interlayer used in diffusion brazing can be detrimental due to the use of melting point depressants (MPDs). The goal...

New Graphite Intercalation Chemistry with Alkaline Earth Metals

Creator:: Xu, Wei
Abstract:: Novel graphite intercalation compounds (GICs) and associated chemistry have been explored, specifically: (1) containing alkyl- substituted imidazolium cations; (2) a series containing alkaline earth metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) cations with ethylenediamine (en) co-intercalates; (3) showing reversible intragallery M-M bonding and (4) via electrochemical intercalation of Mg cations with potential...

Micromixer assisted continuous flow synthesis of nanoparticles of binary compounds and their application

Creator:: Palanisamy, Barath
Abstract:: In this work, continuous synthesis routes for binary nanoparticles using advantages of microchannel mixing (low diffusion distances and higher mass transfer) and fast heating rates provided by ultrasound induced heating are investigated. In addition, the application of silica nanoparticles in anti-reflective coatings on glass and understanding the structure property-performance correlation...

Growth, characterizations and applications of copper sulfide thin films by solution-based processes

Creator:: Vas-Umnuay, Paravee
Abstract:: Copper sulfides (Cu[subscript x]S) are compound semiconductor materials that exhibit considerable optical and electrical properties varying significantly as a function of the composition. Copper sulfide thin films can be used in many applications, such as solar control coatings, solar cells, photothermal conversion of solar energy, electroconductive coatings, and microwave shielding...

Group scheduling in electronics manufacturing with integration of internal and external setup times

Creator:: Yazdani Sabouni, Mohammad Taghi
Abstract:: This research considers a combinatorial optimization scheduling problem in the assembly of printed circuit boards (PCBs) in electronic manufacturing. For the first time in this research, the preparation process, which is typically called kitting operation, is paid attention to and is performed along with the assembly operation, described in this...

Fluidic and thermal modeling for the high production rate synthesis of high quality nanoparticles

Creator:: Peterson, Daniel Alan
Abstract:: Advances of colloidal nanomaterials for societal benefit have been hampered by the high cost and low quality of nanoparticles (NPs). The production of high quality nanoparticles within colloidal suspension has two related concerns; (1) current high production rates methods of synthesizing nanoparticles result in a larger range of particle size,...

Environmentally Sustainable Product Design : Understanding the Environmental Impact of Product Function and Product Labeling

Creator:: Ferrero, Vincenzo J.
Abstract:: Using repositories to store product design information can provide additional and extensive design knowledge to the global design community. Using repository data in the design of new products can be especially impactful for DfX design objectives, such as product sustainability, about which many engineering designers have limited knowledge. Furthermore, repositories...
