  • Development of mullite-zirconia composite feedstocks for powder injection molding

    Creator:
    Martin, Renee A.
    Abstract:
    Mullite-zirconia composites have been slated for use in a novel miniature ceramic turbine engine components developed for unmanned air vehicle (UAV) engine applications. Economically feasible production of these complex components requires the use of a near-net shape process such as powder injection molding (PIM). This thesis explores the development and...

  • Design of a Self-Regulating Deep Space Nuclear Reactor

    Creator:
    Robinson, Matthew Loren
    Abstract:
    An enabling technology for long duration, deep space missions is the availability of a high power, long-lived power supply. The goal of this work is the design of a self-regulating deep space nuclear reactor. The design objectives are to produce 250 kWth for a 25-year period using the presence of...

  • Processing of nanoscale materials

    Creator:
    Hostetler, Eric B.
    Abstract:
    The motivation for undertaking this research was to increase the understanding of processing colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals and thin films metallic glasses to enable their wider application in future devices. This research covered two unique materials, lead selenide (PbSe) nanocrystals and thin film metallic glass alloy of zirconium copper aluminum nickel...
