Transparency is defined as the ability to have free and easy access to critical information. Traceability, which goes hand in hand with transparency, is the ability to track something as it moves along the supply chain. Brands need more transparent supply chains for several reasons. Transparency...

Next weekend, when you are at the grocery store or out running errands, take a good look at the people around you—in particular, the ladies. Chances are that instead of seeing weekend jeans and tee shirts, you will see an increasing number of women wearing compressive yoga pants and capris with...

Developing a simple, general, and isothermal self-replicating system is one of the key requirements for a simplified detection platform for nucleic acid sequences specific to a disease causing microrganism. One of the challenges in achieving nucleic-acid templated isothermal amplification is that...

Tuning π-Conjugated Polymers with Heteroatoms: Synthesis of Polytellurophenes and Soluble Polyacetylenes
DownloadFall 2021
This Thesis describes the synthesis and investigation of π-conjugated oligomers and polymers with optoelectronic properties affected by the presence of a heteroatom. Two major classes of polymers are discussed: 1) polytellurophenes, where the backbone is formed by 5-membered heterocycles...

Textile products that repel water and stains while retaining breathability have traditionally been made possible through one widely-used type of chemistry, perfluorinated chemicals or, PFCs. These chemicals have also been used in many fire retardants, as well as—most famously—in the “non-stick”...

Unsaturated Flow Model
2019-06-06
Xiaochuan Tony Zheng, Tony Zheng
The un-saturated flow sub-model is based on a previously developed infiltration-drainage model. This research improves the original model by adding capabilities of handling dynamic boundary conditions and inter-layer overflow mechanisms. Additional validation cases are conducted to build...

Many textile products contain flame retardants to meet flammability or fire safety standards. Flame retardants (FR) inhibit or slow down fire, and thus fulfil a vital role: nobody wants their bed or couch to catch fire and result in flashover. However, research indicates that not all flame...

The textile industry affects the environment in many ways, one of which is through the production of wastewater. In particular, effluent (liquid waste discharged into rivers and seas) from factories contains complex chemicals that pollute the environment, and which could prove to be a serious...

Validation and Testing of a Numerical Model for the Design and Up-Scaling of Low Temperature Difference Stirling Engines
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis presents the experimental validation, testing and review of a numerical model for low temperature difference Stirling engines (LTDSEs). The research of LTDSEs is motivated by the potential use of low temperature heat as an unconventional sustainable energy source. An experimental...
