Multi-Scale Approach to Evaluating Moisture Durability of Wood-Based Composites

Creator:: Way, Daniel J.
Abstract:: The majority of low-rise residential structures in the U.S. are constructed with wood. Wood-based composites are primary building materials in these structures, used as structural sheathing, joists, and beam components. Wood composites are susceptible to degradation upon exposure to high levels of moisture. Moisture durability is routinely assessed with accelerated...

Solvent Extraction Behavior of Mixed N, O-Donor Ligands for Separation of Trivalent f-Elements

Creator:: Karslyan, Yana
Abstract:: Nowadays selective separation processes are sought after more than ever before. They are indispensable to meet the growing demand for individual rare earth elements, minor actinides partitioned from fission-produced lanthanides, as well as, overall, more concentrated and high-purity products. This research focuses on such separation techniques as solvent extraction which...
