Title: RETENTION OF THE AMORPHOUS STATE OF TREHALOSE AT HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY USING ORGANIC SALT ADDITIVES: A MECHANISTIC UNDERSTANDING
Author: Ziaei, Shima
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Pharmacy--Research, Bioengineering
Description: The glassy or amorphous solid state of trehalose has been utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industry to immobilize and stabilize sensitive molecules and it is increasingly being explored for the preservation of biologics. Retention of the gl...

Title: Processing and properties of materials with or without adiabatic shear susceptibility
Author: Chen, Xiaoxue
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Mechanical engineering, Materials science
Description: In this dissertation, two topic areas related to adiabatic shear banding (ASB) phenomenon were studied. Body centered cubic (BCC) metals and alloys may exhibit ASB under uniaxial high strain rate compression if the grain size is refined into the u...

Title: FUNCTIONALIZATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF NOVEL COORDINATION COMPLEXES FOR USE IN SUPERCAPACITORS
Author: Zuczek, Justin
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Power resources
Description: As society begins to move away from fossil fuel consumption and the harmful effects they entail, renewable energy sources have been studied extensively over the past decades. One obstacle with renewable energy is the ability to cheaply store it du...

Title: ELECTRO-ELASTICITY SENSING IN AXIALLY-LOADED CONCRETE USING RECYCLED STEEL RESIDUALS AS FUNCTIONAL FILL
Author: Scott, David
Date Created: 2018
Subjects--Topical: Materials science, Civil engineering
Description: Self-sensing concrete is embedded with electrostrictive materials that provides indications of strain based on variations in electrical conductivity, or its inverse, resistance. Previous works includes embedded material that vary in size from nano...
