Graphite Nanoplatelet Filler-Modified Polyurethane Nanocomposites for Thermal Transport Enhancement
DownloadFall 2017
The use of polymers in applications such as electronic packaging, heat exchangers, and thermal pastes is limited by their inability to dissipate accumulated heat effectively. Nano-scale filler modifiers may be used to improve the transport of thermal energy through polymer materials. Studies of...

High Performance Germanium-based Anode Materials for Lithium-ion and Sodium-ion Rechargeable Batteries
DownloadFall 2014
In this thesis the electrochemical performance of germanium nanowires (GeNWs) as anode for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and tin-germanium-antimony (Sn-Ge-Sb) thin films as anode for sodium-ion batteries (NIBs) have been investigated. Scientific literature shows a substantial study-to-study...
