Fabricating and Characterizing Multifunctional Graphene Nanoplatelets-based Polylactide Nanocomposites
DownloadFall 2020
With rising environmental concerns related to plastic pollution and dependency on petrochemical resources, biopolymers have been gaining attention. Polylactide (PLA) as one biopolymer option has attracted much interest. However, the low thermal and electrical conductivities limit its full...

Fall 2014
Ductile and brittle failure behaviors of semi-crystalline polymers such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) were investigated under uni-axial tensile loading at various test conditions. The first part of the thesis examines the influence of aspect ratio of rectangular cross-section on the...

Fall 2020
The subject of interest for this thesis is the detachment of a turbulent boundary layer. Engineers are interested in techniques that delay or suppress flow separation entirely because the performance of many fluidic devices, such as airfoil and diffuser, are hindered by this flow phenomenon. The...

The role of genetically defined lamina VII spinal interneurons in generating the locomotor rhythm
DownloadFall 2011
Locomotor activity in mammals is generated by neural networks known as central pattern generators (CPGs), which are comprised of interneurons located in the ventral regions of the spinal cord. Recently, molecular genetic characterization of transcription factor expression at early embryonic time...
