  • 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...

  • Changes in structure and stress in Mo/a-Si thin films upon annealing

    Creator:
    Weber, Frank John
    Abstract:
    The structural and stress changes in molybdenum/amorphous silicon (Mo/a-Si) EUV reflecting multilayers during annealing at 316°C were studied. The amorphous interlayers, with an Mo:Si stoichiometry of 1:2, grew during annealing. The residual stresses in each component of the multilayer also changed significantly. Through high resolution electron microscopy, selected area electron...
