Infiltration and Unsaturated Flow under the Influence of Surface Microtopography: Model Simulations and Experimental Observations
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Surface microtopography affects fundamental hydrologic processes including infiltration and soil-water percolation at different scales. By means of studying the unsaturated flow, this thesis research is aimed to evaluate ...
Surface Property Modification of Coatings via Self-Stratification
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
Biological fouling occurs everywhere in the marine environment and is a significant problem for marine vessels. Anti-fouling coatings have been used effectively to prevent fouling; however, these coatings harm non-targeted ...
Novel Hybrid Polymeric Materials for Barrier Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Polymer-clay nanocomposites, described as the inclusion of nanometer-sized layered silicates into polymeric materials, have been widely researched due to significant enhancements in material properties with the incorporation ...
Magnesium Alloy Particulates used as Pigments in Metal-Rich Primer System for AA2024 T3 Corrosion Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
As an alternative to the present toxic chromate-based coating system now in use, the Mg-rich primer technology has been designed to protect Al alloys (in particular Al 2024 T3) and developed in analogy to Zn-rich primers ...
Electrically Conductive Polymers and their Use as Novel Pigments in Advanced Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
With the push to more environmentally friendly materials to solve some of the biggest challenges in the coatings industry, electrically conductive polymers (ECPs) are seen as a flexible solution due to their unique properties. ...
Interaction of Tackifier Resins with Water-based and Olefinic Polymers
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
The objective of this research was to investigate the interaction of tackifier resins in water-based and olefinic polymers for potential pressure sensitive adhesive applications. The first part of this research work was ...
Electrochemical Method for Characterization and Ranking of Corrosion Inhibitors
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
One of the most cost-effective methods in mitigating corrosion effects is through the use of corrosion inhibitors. This work studied the performance of eight organic inhibitors on mild steel substrate through electrochemical ...
Magnesium Alloy Particulates Used as Pigments in Metal-Rich Primer System for AA2024 T3 Corrosion Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
As an alternative to the present toxic chromate-based coating system now in use, the Mg-rich primer technology has been designed to protect A1 alloys (in particular A1 2024 T3) and developed in analogy to Zn-rich primers ...
Funding the Technology of a Research University
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Using the central information technology unit (CITU) on the North Dakota State University (NDSU) campus, this project triangulated two independent studies in an effort to converge data findings. The studies were conducted ...
Strategic Communication in Public Schools: A Communication Audit of a Midwestern School District
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
School districts are complex organizations which require the use of strategic communication. Measuring the communication from school leaders to their various audiences for message content and alignment has the potential ...
