Spring 2015
The use of thermal insulation has assumed greater importance amidst rising energy costs, with applications in the resource-rich but climatically harsh regions like Canada’s North. The thermal performance of structural and non-structural components is singularly determined by the thermal...

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...

Fall 2019
Microscopy techniques have emerged as a powerful tool to study the morphology of fuel cell porous media. Mathematical parametrization of the microscopy images is important to characterize the porous media microstructure and compare the differences between various samples. A framework which can...

Storytelling and Special Interests: Microstructure in the Fictional and Personal Narratives of Autistic Adults
DownloadSpring 2024
Background and objectives: Past research has found that autistic individuals have pragmatic and morphosyntactic deficits in narrative language; however, the majority of these studies use fictional narrative prompts and are on children, not older autistic individuals. Furthermore, very few use...

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...

Spring 2018
Macro-mechanical behaviour of a material in response to applied loads is governed by its microstructural characteristics. The relative volume fraction of the constituent phases, their connectivity and interface are some of the microstructural features that have significant impact on the load...

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...
