Synthesis of High-Quality Vertically Aligned Carbon Nanotubes on Bulk Copper Substrate for Thermal Management
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2010-05)
Vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (VACNTs) grown on bulk copper substrate are of great importance for real-life commercial applications of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as thermal interface materials in microelectronic packaging. ...
In vitro Biomimetic Construction of Hydroxyapatite–Porcine Acellular Dermal Matrix Composite Scaffold for MC3T3-E1 Preosteoblast Culture
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2011-02-26)
The application of porous hydroxyapatite–collagen (HAp-Collagen) as a bone tissue engineering scaffold is hindered by two main problems: its high cost and low initial strength. As a native 3-dimenssional collagen framework, ...
DFT study of doped and functionalized fullerene based materials for lithium-ion battery applications
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-04-07)
The transition metal oxides (TMO) currently used as cathode materials are expensive, strategically scarce, toxic and have environmental implications. The crystal structure of these materials sets an upper bound on the ...
Flow-assisted erosion-corrosion of steel in pulping liquors containing particulates
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-04-16)
Erosion-Corrosion is a type of corrosion where mechanical (erosive) and chemical (corrosive) effects combine to accelerate material loss due to corrosion. Erosion-corrosion can cause a higher rate of wastage compared to ...
Multiblock copolymer based anion exchange membranes and ionomers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-01-22)
Anion exchange membranes (AEMs) have been a subject of research as hydroxide conducting polymer electrolytes in electrochemical devices like fuel cells and electrolyzers in recent years due to the alkaline conditions ...
Nanostructured materials with well-controlled dimensions, compositions and architectures via precise molecular design of non-linear copolymers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2018-01-22)
Nanostructured materials with well-controlled dimensions, chemical compositions and complex architectures prepared by conventional colloidal bottom-up approaches offer superior ways to investigate self-assembly behaviors ...
Gel spun polyacrylonitrile based carbon fibers containing lignin and carbon nanotubes
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-01-13)
Forestry bioproduct lignin has been long proposed as an ideal material for carbon fiber precursor due to its abundance, renewability, high carbon yield and cost-effectiveness as the biorefinery by-product. However, little ...
Physical mechanisms of laser-activated nanoparticles for intracellular drug delivery
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-05-18)
Novel intracellular drug delivery techniques are needed to overcome the barrier of the cell’s plasma membrane. In this study, we leveraged a novel, laser-mediated technique known as transient nanoparticle energy transduction ...
First-principles theoretical characterization of the electronic structure of iron and iron oxide surfaces and their interfaces with organic layers
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-07-21)
Organic compounds offer considerable promise in iron corrosion prevention. Attachment of organic molecules to the metal surface can alter the corrosion reactions by changing the activation barriers of the anodic and/or ...
Data-driven PSP linkages for atomistic datasets
(Georgia Institute of Technology, 2017-05-23)
For a variety of materials, atomic-scale modeling techniques are commonly employed as a means of investigating fundamental properties, including both structural and chemical responses. While force-field based calculations ...
