Fall 2016
Strain aging of microalloyed steel pipes, manufactured for oil and gas transmission, can occur during the anti-corrosion fusion bonded epoxy coating process (180°C - 250°C) and/or during long term storage or use. The primary mechanism of strain aging involves the segregation of interstitial...

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...

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,...
