A Molecular Dynamics Approach towards the Interfacial Properties of Sulfide- and Clay-Minerals
DownloadSpring 2019
Interfacial properties have a regulatory role in processes which involve the coexistence of different phases. Although such macro-scale properties are determined by the intrinsic nature of the interface-sharing phases, it is possible to alter them in favor of the process objectives. This,...

Mechanical and Surface Properties of Polystyrene Fibers Reinforced with Cellulose Nanocrystals
DownloadFall 2018
Electrospinning of polystyrene (PS) as a ubiquitous polymer attracted tremendous attention. Though, different reinforcement techniques are commonly considered for the electrospun PS fibers because of their fragile structures. High mechanical properties of Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) allow these...

Reuse of Flowback and Produced Water: The Effects of Treatment Process on Tight-Rock Wettability and Selective Removal of Problematic ions for Stability of Friction Reducers
DownloadFall 2022
Oil and gas industry have faced significant operational, economic, and environmental challenges in recycling produced water. The treatment of produced water is highly researched, but few studies have evaluated the performance of treated produced water when used for hydraulic fracturing and...

Understanding the Role of Surface Microgeometries on Wetting: Designing Robust Superhydrophobic Surfaces
DownloadSpring 2014
This thesis is concerned with effects of surface microgeometries on wetting, aiming at providing instructions for reproducing controllable wettability on artificial surfaces and designing robust superhydrophobic surfaces. First, the origin of edge effect is understood by a thermodynamic approach...
