Nanocomposites incorporating cellulose nanocrystals with potential applications in lithium ion batteries

Creator:

Kelley, Jeremiah (Jeremiah Joseph)

Abstract:

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) have received considerable attention over the last ten years because CNCs can be produced from renewable materials such as straw, wood, cotton, and sea animals (tunicates). CNCs are slender rods with high aspect ratios (10-100) and the final dimensions of the CNCs depend on the starting material....

Bending property enhancement of wood strand composite using viscoelastic thermal compression

Creator:

Rathi, Vardan M.

Abstract:

The fundamental intent of the study was to develop an innovative wood-strand composite for use in structural applications. Plantation grown, low density, hybrid poplar was used in the study which was found to be appropriate for the underlying Viscoelastic Thermal Compression (VTC) process. Wood modified by this process has high...

Effective Bonding Parameters for Hybrid Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT)

Creator:

Larkin, Blake

Abstract:

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is a massive engineered wood product made of orthogonally bonded layers of solid-sawn lumber, and is intended for roof, floor, or wall applications. Although it was developed in Europe in the early 90s, CLT is relatively new to North America. CLT products must be certified for structural...
