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...

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...

Transient electric birefringence for the characterization of cellulose nanocrystals and tobacco mosaic virus

Creator:: Taylor, Melissa J.
Abstract:: The development of a transient electric birefringence (TEB) apparatus for macroparticle characterization is herein discussed. The experimental difficulties encountered were related largely to poor data resolution. Misalignment and strain birefringence in optical components further complicated results. Improved data digitization methods were developed, and precise mathematical models were derived in order...

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....

Interfacial shear strength of wood-plastic composites

Creator:: Rogers, James F.
Abstract:: This study examined the relationship of interfacial shear strength (IFSS) and bending strength (MOR) of several different wood-plastic composites (WPC's). Plastics utilized were high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and polypropylene (PP). Pine and oak were used as the wood species. Compatibilizers used included maleicanhydride polyethylene (MAPE), polymeric methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI), KymeneTM,...
