Creator:: Heintz, Keely
Abstract:: The marked increase in surface-to-volume ratio associated with microscale devices for hemodialysis leads to problems with hemocompatibility and blood flow distribution that are more challenging to manage than those encountered at the conventional scale. In this work, stable surface modifications with pendant polyethylene oxide (PEO) chains were produced on polycarbonate...

Abstract:: The catalyst support effect on NiMoS of bio-hydrogenated diesel production was investigated via density functional theory. The activity, stability and selectivity of catalyst on three widely used catalyst supports (Al2O3, TiO2 and SiO2) were studied and compared. Catalyst-support interaction and Brønsted acidity strength of different catalyst supports were characterized, which...

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...

Creator:: Freiberg, Lucas J.
Abstract:: Exergy relates to thermodynamic value or usefulness in the universe. In this dissertation, three methods in the realm of "process intensification" are explored to reduce exergy destruction by equipment and processes that are used to convert and upgrade methane. Thermodynamic efficiency of a virtual heat exchanger is improved with a...

Abstract:: Atmospheric pressure plasma is non-thermal at millimeter to micrometer separations. It represents an alternative low exergy initiator of many chemical reactions. In many instances heat, light or sound are not efficient providers of the necessary energy to overcome chemical activation barriers. The focus of this research is applying dc nonthermal...

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...
