Microstructural Analysis of Ni-WC Metal Matrix Composites Deposited Using Plasma Transferred Arc Additive Manufacturing
DownloadFall 2023
The objective of this thesis is to examine how the composition and solidification rate influences the thermal degradation of WC and the resulting microstructure of WC-Ni metal matrix composites (MMCs) deposited using plasma transferred arc additive manufacturing (PTA-AM). Scanning electron...

The effects of bio-based plasticizing agent and plant-based filler on the mechanical and thermal properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA)
DownloadFall 2021
The overwhelming majority of the plastics that are currently used in commercial applications are petroleum-based polymers due to their exceptional properties and low cost. However, these polymers are non-degradable and their excessive use is leading to significant increase in global plastic...

Physical Properties of Bitumen Distillation Fractions and Solvent Effect on Free Radical Content
DownloadSpring 2022
The main target of bitumen upgrading is to reduce its viscosity. One of the pathways to achieve it is visbreaking. It takes place through thermal cracking by a free radical mechanism. The impact of the bulk liquid (solvent) environment on persistent free radical content was evaluated. Electron...
