Evaluation of Stress Corrosion Cracking of 316L Stainless Steel in FLiNaK Using the Slow Strain Rate Technique

Creator:

Quintana, Xavier A.

Abstract:

Molten salts have been targeted as a promising coolant for next generation reactors due to their high boiling point, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. Despite these benefits, molten salt systems present unique materials compatibility issues, highlighted by the aggressive corrosion attack and dealloying typically seen on materials in these environments....

Influence of processing parameters on diffusion of divalent nickel in wet silica sol-gel monoliths

Creator:

Dickson, David J.

Abstract:

The diffusion of divalent nickel (Ni²⁺) from wet silica gels was investigated. Silica gel is gaining interest as an encapsulation matrix for biological components. The transport of biologically relevant species within the gel is determined by the structural characteristics of the gel, which are in turn governed by synthesis parameters....

Functional Materials and Techniques for Additive Manufacturing in Soft Robotics

Creator:

Walker, Stephanie

Abstract:

This thesis outlines the development of new elastomeric materials and manufacturing processes for soft robotics. Specifically, this work describes the development of custom material formulations for use in additive manufacturing, additive manufacturing processing techniques for silicone elastomers, and multi-component additive manufacturing techniques. Material synthesis and processing is a gap in...
