Change in Hydraulic Conductivity of Expansive Soils

Creator:: Hesseltine, Johnathon
Abstract:: Swelling soils cause millions of dollars of damage to buildings every year in the Unites States alone. One essential piece to understanding these soils is to understand how water moves through them. Hydraulic conductivity is a measure of how easily water flows through a soil. Currently, the most common method...

Nanomechanical Characterization of Atomic Layer Deposition Coatings for Biomedical Applications

Creator:: Bauer, Nicole Lea
Abstract:: Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) is a promising technique for the production of biologically safe, wear resistant and corrosion protective coatings for orthopedic applications. In this work, the impact of coating thickness and surface preparation on the hardness (H), elastic modulus (E), wear resistance, and delamination of ALD Al2O3 films is...

Ultraviolet photolysis of acetaminophen in a 3D printed continuous flow reactor

Creator:: Goetze, John M.
Abstract:: Finding renewable sources of agricultural fertilizer will be necessary to ensure a stable food supply for future generations. Phosphorus is of particular concern, since mining phosphate rock is the main source and reserves are forecasted to deplete in the next 50 – 200 years. Human urine contains substantial amounts of...

I-V Characteristics of Al/HfO2/TaN RRAM Devices

Creator:: Valdivia, Arturo H.
Abstract:: The memristor is a resistive switching random access memory (RRAM) with a basic metal/insulator/metal (MIM) structure. These nano devices are nonvolatile, have a conceptually simple crossbar device structure, are power efficient and have the capability of switching between high and low resistance states in nanoseconds making them promising to replace...

Analysis of Chemical Leaching from Common Consumer Plastic Bottles Under High Stress Conditions

Creator:: Dornath, Paul John
Abstract:: There has been much controversy in recent years over the leaching of chemicals from plastic water bottles. In this study, two of the most common plastics used in water bottles, polyethylene terphthalate (PETE) and polycarbonate (PC) were studied. The leaching of the chemical bisphenol-A (BPA) from polycarbonate (Nalgene ™, Camelback...

The Effect of HSA and Hematocrit on the Cake Collapse Temperature of Lyophilized Red Blood Cells

Creator:: Runyon, Daniel E.
Abstract:: Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, has shown great promise in addressing many of the logistical challenges of storing and preserving red blood cells (RBCs). A crucial part of any future RBC lyophilization protocol is the primary drying temperature, which affects the sample drying rate and the dried cake’s ability to form a...

Chalcostibite Copper Antimony Sulfide for Solution Processed Thin Film Solar Cells

Creator:: Lopez, Jonathon I.
Abstract:: Copper antimony sulfide (CAS) is a ternary material that is of research interest for thin film photovoltaic applications due to its high absorption coefficient and tunable bandgap. The material is also ideal for sustainable manufacturing due the constituent elements being earth-abundant and less toxic than solar cell absorbers like gallium...

Design of a Green Microbial Fuel Cell for Soft Robotics

Creator:: Van Volkenburg, Tessa
Abstract:: This work introduces the design and fabrication of a green-sourced and mostly biodegradable microbial fuel cell for use in soft robotic applications from environmental sensing to wastewater remediation. Theorized from other biodegradable fuel cells, this prototype achieved maximum power densities of 4.0 x 10−4 W/m2 in the single-chambered design and...

Deposition and Characterization of Pb(Zr₁₋ₓTiₓ)O₃ Thin Films on IGZO and ZTO Substrates for Microelectromechanical Systems

Creator:: Maack, Bryan A.
Abstract:: Pb(Zr₁₋ₓTiₓ)O₃ (PZT) is a common piezoelectric and ferroelectric thin film material with a wide variety of applications, including ferroelectric random access memories, novel thin film transistors, and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). The most common substrate for PZT in all of these areas has been platinum-coated silicon. Alternative substrates are desired for...

Solvent and Dispersion Effects on the Hydrodeoxygenation of Acetic Acid on a Pd(111) Model Surface

Creator:: Rebarchik, Michael A.
Abstract:: Increased dependence on fossil fuels and concerns of anthropogenic climate change have led to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Liquid fuels derived from renewable raw materials have gained attention in recent years due to their similarity to petroleum-based fuels. Biofuels derived through hydrodeoxygenation have been found to be one...
