Highly Functionalized Thermosets from Renewables for Composites and Coatings Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Renewable sources have attracted attention due to their affordable cost and wide availability. Vegetable oils are renewable sources that have been extensively studied as potential replacement for petroleum derived chemicals. ... -
Multiscale Modeling of Electromagnetic Radiation Transport
(North Dakota State University, 2013)The transport of electromagnetic radiation is a critical factor in determining many of the advanced features of novel materials, composites, and coatings systems. The radiation interaction with a material's surface, as ... -
High-Throughput Methods for Characterizing the Mechanical Properties of Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The characterization of mechanical properties in a combinatorial and high-throughput workflow has been a bottleneck that reduced the speed of the materials development process. High-throughput characterization of the ... -
Advanced Electrochemical Methods for Characterizing the Performance of Organic Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Advanced electrochemical techniques such as electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), electrochemical noise method (ENM) and coulometry as tools to study and extract information about the coating system is the focus ... -
Silicon-Based Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Polymers and Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2012)Interest in producing hybrid organic-inorganic (HOI) materials has increased rapidly due to the unique combination of properties from the organic and inorganic components. The goal of the research described is to develop ... -
Fouling Release Marine Coatings: Effect of Surface Abrasions on Fouling Release Performance of Self-Stratified Siloxane-Polyurethane Coatings and Novel Isocyanate-Free Glycidyl Carbamate Technologies
(North Dakota State University, 2017)Video summarizing a Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience. -
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 ... -
Embedded Reference Electrodes for Corrosion Potential Monitoring, Electrochemical Characterization, and Controlled-Potential Cathodic Protection
(North Dakota State University, 2012)A thin wire Ag/AgCl reference electrode was prepared using 50 μm Ag wire in dilute FeCl3. The wire was embedded beneath the polyurethane topcoat of two sacrificial coating systems to monitor their corrosion potential. This ... -
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 ... -
High Performance Bio-Based Thermosets for Composites and Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2016)In the recent decade, there has been increasing interest in using renewable feedstocks as chemical commodities for composites and coatings application. Vegetable oils are promising renewable resources due to their wide ... -
Design of Polymer Materials with Lower Environmental Impact
(North Dakota State University, 2015)In today’s world of emerging advanced materials, environmental impact of new technologies, as well as already well-established products, is of utmost importance. Environmental safety is as crucial as performance/price ratio ...
