Molded Fiber Bottle Coatings for Environmental Resistance and Sustainability

Creator:: Sim, Elaine
Abstract:: In recent years, non-renewable and non-biodegradable plastic packaging forms the majority of landfilled waste. These products, mainly made from Polyethylene Tetraphlatate (PET) and other polyolefins, have excellent durability and barrier properties, but take hundreds of years to degrade. Much focus has been put on developing environmentally friendly alternatives to polyolefins...

Conversion of Waste Plastics to Diesel-Like Fuel Through Pyrolysis

Creator:: Carlson, Kayla
Abstract:: As the development, processing, and manufacturing of plastic has improved over the years, so has our amount of plastic waste. Currently, only approximately 9% of post-consumer plastics get recycled. The other 91% is buried in landfills, burned, ends up in the ocean, or is accumulating in communities without access to...

Structure-Property Relationships of Supported Palladium and Rhenium Oxide for the Alkane Rearrangement of Hydrocarbons and Deconstruction of Polyethylene via Tandem Dehydrogenation and Olefin Metathesis

Creator:: Moore, Selena C.
Abstract:: The rapid accumulation of plastic waste in landfill, waterways and oceans is becoming a critical problem, one that current recycling technologies are not capable of solving. Recent proposed approaches in the depolymerization of waste plastics employ an Olefin-Intermediate Process (OIP), where feedstocks like polyolefin plastics are ‘activated,’ producing an olefin...

Oxidation Energies of Chromium and Tungsten Substituted Ni (111) Surfaces

Creator:: Roth, Anika
Abstract:: The corrosion and heat resistance properties of nickel alloys are hallmarks of their importance in infrastructure and industrial catalysis processes, but these properties are highly dependent on the chemical composition of the alloy surface. Density functional theory was used for analysis of surface oxidation of four combinations of chromium and...

Investigations of catalytic CO oxidation : effects of alloying copper and palladium

Creator:: Kristy, Stephen T.
Abstract:: The oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) to carbon dioxide (CO2) is ubiquitous throughout many industrial processes and is a common probe reaction used to help understand catalytic systems in research settings. The reaction is essential in power generation and transportation exhaust gas treatment technologies to ensure environmental safety, because CO...

Fundamental Investigations of Electrocatalysis: Mechanistic Implications of Catalyst Electronic Structure

Creator:: Carvalho, O. Quinn
Abstract:: Heterogeneous catalysis modulates the rate and selectivity of reaction processes by stabilizing a series of intermediate states on solid surfaces, facilitating the production of many commodity chemicals modern society relies upon. Conventional, thermal catalytic processes—conducted at elevated temperatures and pressures—source thermal, mechanical, and chemical potential energy from carbon-hydrogen bonds— combustion...

Electronic structure-selectivity trends for electrocatalytic nitrate reduction to ammonium on 3d transition metals

Creator:: Marks, Rylee
Abstract:: Nitrate is a toxic surface and ground water contaminant that poses human-health and ecological hazards. Contamination is anthropogenically sourced to over-amendment of ammonia-based fertilizers, in turn generated by the most carbon intensive chemical process in use today. Electrochemical approaches offer a green alternative to transform harmful waste nitrate into value-added...

Metal-organic framework thin film synthesis via a microfluidic pen system

Creator:: Chang, Victoria
Abstract:: ZIF-8, a zeolitic imidazolate framework that consists of zinc ions and imidazolate linkers, is of great interest due to its simple synthesis methods, low-cost raw materials, chemical and thermal stability, as well as its stability in moist environments. Furthermore, due to its unique structure, it contains well-defined pores that have...

The influences of remote learning on assessments and student engagement

Creator:: Preusser, Deja
Abstract:: As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, most colleges and universities around the world were forced to switch to remote learning. Many instructors were provided little guidance regarding how to restructure their courses for the remote classroom. The purpose of this study was to understand how the shift from in-person...

Electrochemical assessment of binder free Co_xNi_1-xS_y electrocatalysts supported on carbon nanofibers for oxygen evolution reaction in alkaline media

Creator:: Namiiro, Sauda Kiggundu
Abstract:: Water splitting is a green method being researched to produce green hydrogen in order to combat greenhouse gases emitted by the most popular energy source; fossil fuels. Water splitting involves two half reactions: hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Of these two, OER is the bottleneck water...
