Establishing Microstructure - Electron Work Function - Property Relationships towards a New Design Methodology for Structural Materials
DownloadFall 2020
Conventional metallurgy has been widely used in material design for centuries, which however does not always effectively guide material design and modification. A large number of trial-and-error tests are often needed in material development. Material developers have been making considerable...

Mapping the Microstructure of Single-Site Ethylene/1- Hexene Copolymers Using Response Surface Methods
DownloadSpring 2022
Polyolefins are a commercially important class of polymers made only of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Polyethylene accounts for a sizable fraction of commercial polyolefins, covering applications from packaging films, water tanks, biomedical equipment, bulletproof vests, and adhesives. The use of a...

Studying the Microstructure of Electrodes for Low-temperature Solid Oxide Fuel Cell and Electrolysis Applications
DownloadFall 2022
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) is an important developing technology for energy conversion. This research was mainly focused on improving the fuel or air electrode of SOFCs in order to reduce the degradation rates and operation temperature. In chapters 3 and 4, a highly conductive...

The Microstructure, Morphology and Mechanical Properties of Rapidly Solidified Al-10wt%Si Alloy
DownloadSpring 2018
Hypoeutectic Al-Si alloys are widely used in both the automotive and aerospace industries, due to their strong corrosion resistance, good castability and relatively high strength-to-weight ratio. Despite this wide use, these alloys have a major limitation related to the Si phase that forms...
