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....

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Wood-adhesive bondline analyses with micro x-ray computed tomography

Creator:: Paris, Jesse Loren
Abstract:: There is no doubt that adhesive penetration plays an important role in wood bondline joint performance and durability; yet, to date there is no direct experimental evidence linking penetration depth with bond performance. This is, in part, because adhesive penetration is commonly assessed with various 2D microscopy techniques that are...

Development and evaluation of novel coupling agents for kenaf-fiber-reinforced unsaturated polyester composites

Creator:: Ren, Xiaofeng
Abstract:: Natural fibers are gaining popularity as reinforcement materials for thermoset resins over the last two decades. Natural fibers are inexpensive, abundant, renewable and environmentally friendly. Kenaf fibers are one of the natural fibers that can potentially be used for reinforcing unsaturated polyester (UPE). As a polymer matrix, UPE enjoys a...

Fatigue reliability predictions in silicon nitride ceramics based on fatigue behavior, bridging stresses and fracture data

Creator:: Greene, Rawley Brandon
Abstract:: Because of its attractive material properties like high hardness, high toughness, and excellent high temperature strength, materials like silicon nitride are becoming more common for use in high performance applications. However, there have been limited studies of the fatigue behavior of small cracks in silicon nitride and other materials toughened...

Development and validation of a fatigue reliability method for bridging materials

Creator:: Gallops, Sarah
Abstract:: Toughened ceramics, or bridging ceramics, are being developed in an attempt to widen the application base of traditional ceramics, which are brittle and have low resistance to crack extension. The crack growth resistance of these extrinsically toughened ceramics has been shown to increase with crack length, and unlike traditional ceramics,...
