Characterization of Adhesion at Carbon Fiber-fluorinated Epoxy Interface and Effect of Environmental Degradation
Dasgupta, Suman (Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)Carbon fiber reinforced polymers are excellent candidates for aerospace, automobile and other mobile applications due to their high specific strength and modulus. The most prominent aerospace application of carbon fiber ... -
Exploratory Investigation of Viscoelastic Nanoindentation on Polyvinyl Acetate
Cakiroglu, Dilek (Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)Nanoindentation load-displacement data of polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) was obtained at different temperatures ranging from ~20 oC to 42 oC using two novel equipments, Hysitron Triboindenter and Interfacial Force Microscopy ... -
Formation of Fibers and Spheres by Electrospinning of Polyethylene Oxide Solution
Narasimhan, Atul (Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)An experimental process for obtaining fibers and spheres using electrospinning of a polymer (Polyethylene Oxide) solution in water were studied. The objectives of the study were to complete measurements of size of the ... -
Hybrid Surface Plasmon Damping Chemical Sensor
Karumuri Spiharsha (Oklahoma State University, 2009-05-01)The present thesis work demonstrates a novel localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) chemical sensor on the basis of a unique sensing mechanism: adsorbate-induced damping of hybrid plasmon resonance. The sensor reports ... -
Nanowire-nanoparticle Conjugate Photolytic Devices for Renewable Hydrogen Production
Maclaskey, Sean Kelly (Oklahoma State University, 2011-07-01)A clean energy driven economy requires renewable production of zero-emission fuels, such as hydrogen (H2). Photocatalytic generation of H2 is one such method to fulfill this demand. Photocatalytic water splitting is an ... -
