3D printing structured nanocelluloses and their composites: Printability, structures, and properties
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-12-05)Cellulose remains to be one of the most renewable and abundant engineering material used in current society. In the past decade, a new area of cellulosic materials in the nanoscale regime, also known as nanocellulose, has ... -
A DATABASE OF 2D ZEOLITE NANOSHEETS: DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATIONS
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2020-04-24)Distillation is a widespread but energy intensive method to separate chemical mixtures. Alternatives to distillation include membrane and adsorption based separations. Zeolites are used in such capacity because they are ... -
A decade of emissions controls and their role on an ever-changing atmosphere
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-03-21)The impact of emission controls in the decade 2001-2011 has been studied using a variety of models, that were updated to increase their predictive accuracy and to better represent the physics of atmospheric aerosols. ... -
A framework for understanding and controlling batch cooling crystallization
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2016-06-23)In taking a different view of crystallization dynamics, this thesis reveals a new framework for addressing a prevalent process engineering challenge: control over the size of crystals produced by batch cooling crystallization. ... -
A new lattice fluid equation of state for associated CO₂ + polymer and CO₂ + ionic liquid systems
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2014-08-25)The phase behavior of CO2 + polymer systems is of interest in polymer synthesis, flue and natural gas processing, polymer foam and nanoparticle processing, and drug delivery. Theoretical and experimental evidence suggests ... -
A polypropylene carbonate-based adaptive buffer layer for stable interfaces of solid polymer lithium metal batteries
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2019-04-22)Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have the potential to enhance the safety and energy density of lithium batteries. However, the poor interfacial contact between the lithium metal anode and SPE leads to high interfacial ... -
