Investigation of Eco-friendly, Bio-based Methods to Produce High Quality and Water-resistant Apple Pomace Biocomposites Using Molded Pulp Technology

Creator:: Lang, Clara V.
Abstract:: The overall goal of this study was to utilize apple pomace, the byproduct from juice processing, as a renewable source of fiber to create sustainable packaging using molded pulp technology. The goal was accomplished through two studies: 1) to modify apple pomace fibers for increasing relative cellulose composition and improving...

Characterization of Grape Cane Fibers as a Composite Reinforcement

Creator:: A. Bakar, Balkis F.
Abstract:: Using plant fibers as a potential renewable material to substitute for glass fibers in fiber-reinforced polymer composites has been growing since the late 1990s. Due to high demand, there has been a shift towards ‘green concept’ material in many applications. Numerous secondary plant fibers have been explored as a source...

Characterization of Fungal Communities in Selected Wood Species by Field Exposure Tests

Creator:: Torres-Andrade, Paola A.
Abstract:: Fungi are the primary biological agents of wood deterioration and cause major economic losses of wood products globally. Wood in outdoor applications tends to remain wet for extended time periods, making it susceptible to fungal attack. Understanding the factors involved in fungal colonization of wood is important for developing improved...

Identifying factors driving sensitivity to fragmentation in forest breeding songbirds

Creator:: Valente, Jonathon J.
Abstract:: Habitat loss and fragmentation are the greatest threats to biodiversity worldwide. Fragmentation impacts landscape configuration, resulting in a larger number of patches that are smaller in size and further apart from one another. Island biogeography and metapopulation theory predict populations in these remnant patches should be smaller, have higher extinction...

Investigation of Bioactive Compounds in Different Types of Fruit Pomace and Their Applications as Bulk Materials for Creating Biocomposite

Creator:: Gouw, Virginia P.
Abstract:: The objectives of this study were to evaluate the physicochemical properties and bioactive compounds from four different types of fruit pomace, including apple, blueberry, raspberry, and cranberry, and further to investigate the feasibility of creating apple pomace based biocomposite boards using thermal compression molding and to optimize the biocomposite formulations...

In-situ Surface Modification of Wood with Different Hot Press Platen Metallurgies

Creator:: Freitas, Shawn Robert
Abstract:: As the forest industry moves toward the use of younger trees and production of an increasing number of composite products improving durability has gained importance. Coatings are one of the most widely used methods for improving wood durability because they improve resistance to water penetration, and subsequent shrinking and swelling,...

Bioactive glass filled resin composites : mechanical properties and resistance to secondary tooth decay

Creator:: Khvostenko, Dmytro
Abstract:: Dental resin composites are widely used in modern dentistry due to their aesthetic appearance. However, resin based restorations have inferior mechanical properties (fracture is the second reason for restorations replacement) in comparison to alloy based composites and their antimicrobial properties still remain poor, leading to secondary tooth decay development on...

Development of mullite-zirconia composite feedstocks for powder injection molding

Creator:: Martin, Renee A.
Abstract:: Mullite-zirconia composites have been slated for use in a novel miniature ceramic turbine engine components developed for unmanned air vehicle (UAV) engine applications. Economically feasible production of these complex components requires the use of a near-net shape process such as powder injection molding (PIM). This thesis explores the development and...
