High aspect ratio microelectromechanical structures have been found, in the literature, to collapse due to capillary forces of liquids. In this dissertation, mathematical models are developed to study (i) the collapse of a microstructure represented by a double cantilevered beam (DCB) with a free...

Probing surface properties at the nanoscale: effects of physicochemical heterogeneity on membrane wettability
DownloadFall 2020
Water purification by polymeric membranes has been abundantly applied to address global challenges of water scarcity and pollution of aquatic environments. Polymeric membranes are excellent candidates for low cost and energy-efficient high-quality water purification process. However, progress in...
