Polymerization Kinetics and Structure-Property Relationships of Ethylene/1-Hexene Copolymers
DownloadFall 2018
Caldera Palacios, Anuar Alfonso
Polyethylene accounts for 32% of the world’s plastics production and it is continuing to grow for the foreseeable future. Its versatility to modify its molecular structure using different types of catalyst or modifying the reaction conditions makes polyethylene suitable for a wide range of...

Quasi-static confined uniaxial compaction of granular alumina and boron carbide observing the particle size effects
Download2019-10-25
Nicewicz, Piotr, Peciar, Peter, Macho, Oliver, Sano, Tomoko, Hogan, James D.
The quasi-static confined uniaxial compaction of granular alumina and boron carbide was studied, and the effect of triaxial stress on the materials as a function of increasing particle size was observed. The average particle sizes studied for granular alumina were 170 ± 63, 230 ± 55, 330 ± 67,...

Costa, Matheus O., Nosach, Roman, Harding, John C. S.
Background:Most interactions between pathogenic microorganisms and their target host occur on mucosal surfaces of internal organs such as the intestine. In vitro organ culture (IVOC) provides an unique tool for studyinghost-pathogen interactions in a controlled environment. However, this...

Self-Healable, Reprocessable, and 3D Printable Plant Oil-Based Elastomers and Facile Fabrication of Graphene Oxide Reinforced Copolymer Nanocomposites
DownloadFall 2020
Prolonging service-life and durability of polymer-based products can help to reduce severe landfill/marine pollution caused by polymeric materials (i.e., elastomers and thermosets). Self-healing polymers are a class of polymers that are capable of healing cracks or mechanical damage inflicted...

Water Absorption and Performance Degradation of Natural Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
DownloadFall 2017
Natural fiber reinforced polyethylene biocomposites are an environmentally friendly alternative to non-biodegradable thermoplastic materials. The addition of natural fibers to polyethylene improves mechanical properties such as tensile modulus and tensile strength. Unlike thermoplastics,...
