  • Developing New Routes for Mechanical Characterization of Metal-Organic Frameworks

    Creator:
    Maack, Bryan A.
    Abstract:
    Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) represent an exciting, new class of porous materials. Their hybrid organic-inorganic structure opens up near infinite possibilities to tune and design their structure for specific properties and applications. A new generation of flexible MOFs, following a generation of stiff MOFs, has created additional design space and complexity....

  • 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...

  • Bioactive glass filled resin composites : mechanical properties and resistance to secondary tooth decay

    Creator:
    Khvostenko, Dmytro
    Abstract:
    Dental resin composites are widely used in modern dentistry due to their aesthetic appearance. However, resin based restorations have inferior mechanical properties (fracture is the second reason for restorations replacement) in comparison to alloy based composites and their antimicrobial properties still remain poor, leading to secondary tooth decay development on...

  • Heat treatment effects on CPM-M4 tool steel performance as edged blade material

    Creator:
    Lian, Sidi
    Abstract:
    CPM-M4 tool steel is a commonly used knife blade material due to its high strength and wear resistance. The goal of this thesis is to understand how heat treatment parameters affect blade performance and microstructure.Five heat treatments were applied to CPM-M4 steel by varying austenitizing and tempering temperatures. The microstructures...

  • Mechanistic aspects of fracture and fatigue in resin based dental restorative composites

    Creator:
    Shah, Minalben B.
    Abstract:
    For resin based dental restorative composites, one of the major challenges is to optimize the balance between mechanical and optical properties. Although fracture is the second leading cause of dental restorative failures, very limited mechanistic understanding exists on a microscopic level. In the present study, the fracture properties and mechanisms...

  • Developing Design Model for Cellulose Nanocomposites

    Creator:
    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...

  • 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...

  • Role of Alloying on the Thermal Stability of Duplex Stainless Steel

    Creator:
    Garfinkel, David
    Abstract:
    Duplex stainless steels (DSS) are an attractive potential material in nuclear power generation systems due to an excellent combination of corrosion resistance, strength, toughness, and affordability. Thermal embrittlement caused by phase instability in the temperature range of ~300-550°C severely limits the service temperature of DSS. The rate of embrittlement varies...
