Manufacturing and evaluation of the tensile properties of 3D printed human hair reinforced composites
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis proposes a novel method to 3D print human hair-based polymer composites. Human hair is a biological fiber whose microstructure is well-defined. It possesses high tensile strength, thermal insulation, a unique chemical composition, and elastic recovery, among other qualities. However,...

Self-Healable, Reprocessable, and 3D Printable Plant Oil-Based Elastomers and Facile Fabrication of Graphene Oxide Reinforced Copolymer Nanocomposites
DownloadFall 2020
Prolonging service-life and durability of polymer-based products can help to reduce severe landfill/marine pollution caused by polymeric materials (i.e., elastomers and thermosets). Self-healing polymers are a class of polymers that are capable of healing cracks or mechanical damage inflicted...
