  • The Use of Various Morphologies of Nanocellulose as Life Long Anodes of Sodium Ion Batteries

    Creator:
    Schardt, Jenna
    Abstract:
    Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) require the use of a highly reversible anode. To form this anode carbon nanofibers and nanocrystals are derived from cellulose nanofibers, cellulose nanocrystals, and bacterial nanocellulose. The primary structure of the cellulose nanofibers is maintained when carbonized allowing for high surface area in the structure. The carbon...

  • An experimental study on tensile properties of cellulose nanocrystal reinforced epoxy nanocomposite material

    Creator:
    Zeng, Jin
    Abstract:
    Epoxy resin is a thermosetting resin that is commonly used as composite matrix. Epoxy composite materials are well utilized in industries, such as aerospace, due to their good mechanical properties. Nano-scale filler reinforced polymer composite materials have been intensively researched in recent decades. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNXLs) are a type of...

  • Study of Interphase in Polylactic Acid and Cellulose Nanocrystal Composite Films

    Creator:
    Rao, Pratish Ramesh
    Abstract:
    Polylactic acid (PLA), a renewable material, is used widely in a variety of commercial and specialty applications. However, certain limitations such as high temperature stability and brittleness limit its applicability. This problem is addressed by reinforcing PLA with a variety of materials but the process gives rise to different issues...

  • Three Methods for Analyzing Charring Behavior in CLT Panels Exposed to ASTM E119 Standard Fire Test Condition

    Creator:
    Hong, Seung hyun
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of three manuscripts related to the methodology of evaluating charring behavior in cross laminated lumber panel specimens subjected to fire performance tests on cross-laminated lumber panel specimens. The topic of the first manuscript is the measurement of char rates of unprotected CLT layups fabricated with ponderosa pine...

  • Orienting lignocellulosic fibers by means of a magnetic field

    Creator:
    Zauscher, Stefan
    Abstract:
    Controlling the orientation and spatial distribution of discontinuous fibers in composite materials enables product properties to be tailored to anticipated use. Electric fields are already (albeit rarely) used to affect alignment in lignocellulosic (LC) fiber composites. The use of magnetic fields has not, however, been suggested or explored; this is...

  • Investigation of Epoxy-based Wood Adhesives

    Creator:
    Mousavi, Seyyed Yahya
    Abstract:
    Wood-based composites such as plywood and particleboard are produced with a thermoset adhesive via a hot-press process. At present, UF is the most commonly used thermoset adhesive for production of decorative plywood. The emission of the carcinogenic formaldehyde from UF-bonded panels during the use of panels affects the indoor air...

  • Developing a Methodology to Study the Effects of Adhesive Flow Penetration on Wood Adhesive Bond Performance by using Micro X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) and Digital Volume Correlation (DVC)

    Creator:
    Ching, Daniel Jackson
    Abstract:
    Wood composites are an important renewable structural material which can be a net carbon sink when used in combination with sustainable forest management practices and high rates of log utilization. Adhesive bondlines are an essential part of composites, and for wood composites, they determine the moisture durability and mechanical performance...

  • Durability Assessment of Wood Composites Using Fracture Mechanics

    Creator:
    Mirzaei, Babak
    Abstract:
    The advent of synthetic adhesives has transformed the structural applications of wood. However, a persistent issue in adhesively-bonded wood products has been moisture durability. When designing wood based composites, moisture durability will depend on both the wood phase and the adhesive phase. A key question, therefore, is how does one...

  • Characterization of load transfer in wood-based composites

    Creator:
    Schwarzkopf, Matthew John
    Abstract:
    The mechanical performance of composite materials is determined by the mechanical properties of their individual components and the effective load transfer between these components. Binders are commonly used to bond composite components together and to provide effective load transfer between them. In wood-based composites the binder-component load transfer occurs at...

    Karas, Michael
    Abstract:
    Wildfire prevention operations like forest thinning and forest fuel removal result in large volumes of woody biomass available for utilization. In 2007 alone, the US federal government spent nearly $2 billion to fight forest fires on federal lands. Annually, the USDA Forest Service spends $1 billion to thin young trees...

    Shir Mohammadi, Meisam
    Abstract:
    Today nano scale materials are being used for wide range of applications. One promising topic in nano scale materials is using them for reinforcement of different polymeric materials to reach desirable stiffness properties. The stiffness of these materials is mostly found experimentally because the nanocomposite community lacks a decent analytical...
