Dependence of the Interfacial Adhesion between Two Different Types of Material on their Electron Work Function and Electrical Conductivity
DownloadFall 2021
We observed and investigated a novel interfacial phenomenon related to the dependence of interfacial bonding or adhesive force (Fad) between two substances on the difference in their Electron Work Functions (EWF) or Δφ, and developed a model to quantify such a dependence. First, using...

Investigation of polyetherimide’s thermal degradation and fabrication of thermal end-of-life sensor for fire protective clothing
DownloadSpring 2021
Typically, protective clothing are made of materials that have a high temperature resistance, good mechanical and chemical properties. However, some high-performance textiles – including those used in protective clothing – age silently, undergoing a gradual reduction in their protective...
