Development, Validation, and Application of a 3D print out of the Nasopharyngeal area from Cone Beam Computed Tomography in Children
DownloadFall 2019
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) is increasingly being used in dentistry to explore certain types of craniofacial abnormalities. Sleep-disordered breathing represents a significant burden to individuals and society. Hence, the opportunistic use of CBCT imaging among dentists to screen for...

Manufacture and Characterization of 3D-Printed Sugar-Reduced Layered Chocolates and their Sensory Perception
DownloadFall 2021
High global sugar consumption exceeding recommendations and an increased awareness of health concerns associated with excess sugar consumption have promoted the development of sugar-reduced foods by manufacturers, and consumption of sugar-reduced foods by consumers. As confectionary items are a...

Manufacturing and evaluation of the tensile properties of 3D printed human hair reinforced composites
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis proposes a novel method to 3D print human hair-based polymer composites. Human hair is a biological fiber whose microstructure is well-defined. It possesses high tensile strength, thermal insulation, a unique chemical composition, and elastic recovery, among other qualities. However,...

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...

Self-Healable, Reprocessable, and 3D Printable Plant Oil-Based Elastomers and Facile Fabrication of Graphene Oxide Reinforced Copolymer Nanocomposites
DownloadFall 2020
Prolonging service-life and durability of polymer-based products can help to reduce severe landfill/marine pollution caused by polymeric materials (i.e., elastomers and thermosets). Self-healing polymers are a class of polymers that are capable of healing cracks or mechanical damage inflicted...
