Spring 2017
During the past several decades, the relationship between microstructure and mechanical properties of high strength microalloyed steels has been extensively studied in an effort to improve the fracture toughness and strength of these types of steels, without appreciably increasing steel...

Modification of Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) through Addition of Bio-based Plasticizing Materials and Additive Manufacturing Processing
DownloadFall 2018
The non-degradable polymers currently used for commercial production and application may be inexpensive; however, their excessive use is leading to unprecedented amounts of plastic waste and extensive environmental damage. The demand for biologically-derived, biodegradable polymers is therefore...

Plasma Transferred Arc Additive Manufacturing Using 17-4 Precipitation Hardened Stainless Steel
DownloadSpring 2021
Plasma transferred arc additive manufacturing (PTA-AM) is a newly developed additive manufacturing (AM) process for the manufacturing of large industrial parts for the resource sector. A common material used in numerous industries is 17-4 precipitation hardened (PH) stainless steel, mainly due...

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...

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,...
