Hand injuries, due to impact, are common workplace injuries. Many work gloves afford impact protection through design of add-on components known as bumpers. Glove design criteria are complex (e.g., limitations from human factors, dexterity, use case, hand size variability) and commercial bumpers...

Development of polymer and lipid based nano-delivery systems for targeted cancer chemotherapy
DownloadFall 2012
Conventional chemotherapy agents can kill tumor cells and inhibit tumor growth, but they produce severe side effects on normal cells at the same time. To shift the balance towards tumoral effects, it would be desirable to direct the anti-cancer drug towards tumor while restricting drug access to...

The current study investigates the drag reduction (DR) using high molecular weight polymers such as commercial polyacrylamide, polysaccharides and thermo-responsive polymers. A Taylor-Couette (TC) setup was designed and fabricated to examine the abovementioned polymers for drag reduction, and to...

Extending Depletion Flocculation Phase Behavior Models to Partially Soluble and Aggregating Colloids—Asphaltenes
DownloadFall 2015
Mixtures of colloids + non-adsorbing polymers + good solvents are well known to exhibit multiphase behaviors that are driven by the depletion flocculation mechanism where one phase, designated a colloid gas, is largely comprised of polymer and solvent, while the other phase, designated a colloid...

Hybrid Polymer Plasmonic Devices for Enhanced All-Plasmonic Switching Based on Photothermal Nonlinearity
DownloadFall 2015
Nanoplasmonic devices have received much attention in recent years due to their ability to confine light below the diffraction limit, thereby providing a potential route to the creation of nanometer-scale integrated photonic devices. However, with the strong confinement of light come large...

An alternative method of manipulating fragile MEMS devices during fabrication has been developed. A specialized manual or robotic end effector utilizing a gecko inspired adhesive can replace the slow and costly manual tweezers used by the MEMS foundry Micralyne Inc. Improving the adhesive...

Synthetic polymers are still widely used in today’s life despite all environmental issues attributed to them. Replacing synthetic polymers with natural biodegradable polymers has been considered as a way of reducing these environmental impacts partially, if not completely. Hydroxyporpyl xylan...
