  • Plasma-induced modification of films containing polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)

    Creator:
    Jones, Hyrum E.
    Abstract:
    Polymer samples of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a PTFE-glass weave (RF- 35P) are exposed to low pressure, non-equilibrium glow discharge plasmas for enhanced wettability as measured by static contact angles. Plasma treatments are performed in two parallel plate RF plasma systems, a downstream microwave plasma and a barrel etcher using feed...

  • John Archibald Wheeler : a study of mentoring in modern physics

    Creator:
    Christensen, Terry M.
    Abstract:
    This dissertation has two objectives. The first objective is to determine where best to situate the study of mentoring (i.e. the 'making of scientists') on the landscape of the history of science and science studies. This task is accomplished by establishing mentoring studies as a link between the robust body...

  • High quantum-yield phosphors via quantum splitting and upconversion

    Creator:
    Jeong, Joayoung
    Abstract:
    The Gd3+ ion has been used to induce quantum splitting in luminescent materials by using cross-relaxation energy transfer (CRET). In Nd:LiGdF4, quantum splitting results from a two-step CRET between Gd3+ and Nd3+, first involving a transition 6G→6I on Gd3+ and an excitation within the 4f3 configuration of Nd3+ followed by...

  • Numerical simulation of wood drying

    Creator:
    Berberovic, Adin
    Abstract:
    A mathematical and then a numerical model were developed for simulating a convective batch lumber drying process. The model incorporates mass and heat transfer relationships within the lumber stack, as well as thermodynamic properties of the wood and drying air. It takes into account a change of air properties along...

  • Development of an Accelerated Method for Assessing Decay of Wood Plastic Composites (WPC's)

    Creator:
    Silva Guzman, Jose Antonio
    Abstract:
    This study examined the decay resistance of the pine and maple components of wood plastic composites (WPC' s) of varying thicknesses exposed on several culture media to wood decay fungi under laboratory conditions. The ability of malt agar extract (MEA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), amended basal salts, sawdust (maple and...
