Synthesis, Characterization, and Modeling of Aligned ZnO Nanowire-Enhanced Carbon-Fiber-Reinforced Composites
(2022-04-02)
This paper presents the synthesis, characterization, and multiscale modeling of hybrid composites with enhanced interfacial properties consisting of aligned zinc oxide (ZnO) nanowires and continuous carbon fibers. The ...
Atomic Layer Deposition Seeded ZnO Nanowires in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Composites: Synthesis, Characterization and Multifunctionality
(2019-12)
Interfacial treatments of carbon fiber composites play a critical role in determining the overall performance as the surface of carbon fiber is smooth and inert causing low bonding to the polymer matrix. In this dissertation, ...
Synthesis and characterization of bio-compatible shape memory polymers with potential applications to endovascular embolization of intracranial aneurysms
(2018)
Intracranial aneurysms (ICAs) are focal dilations in the brain's arteries. When left untreated, ICAs can grow to the point of rupture, accounting for 50–80% of subarachnoid hemorrhage cases. Current treatments include ...
Shape Memory Polyurethane with Porous Architectures for Potential Applications in Intracranial Aneurysm Treatment
(2019-04-05)
Conventional endovascular embolization of intracranial (or brain) aneurysms using helical detachable platinum coils can be time-consuming and occasionally requires retreatment due to incomplete coil packing. These shortcomings ...
