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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Amphiphilic Invertible Polymers: Self-Assembly into Functional Materials Driven by Environment Polarity
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Stimuli-responsive polymers adapt to environmental changes by adjusting their chain conformation in a fast and reversible way. Responsive polymeric materials have already found use in electronics, coatings industry, personal ...
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 ...
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 ...
