Soysomes and Other Functional Biomaterials from Sucrose Soyate Derivatives
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Biomaterials serve as interventional tools in medicine to treat, improve or replace diseased tissues, organs or function of the body. Although several polymeric biomaterials already exist, they often present challenges, ...
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. ...
Epoxidized Sucrose Soyate and Derivatives as Bioderived Crosslinkers in Various Thermosets
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Throughout the world, alternatives to petrochemically-derived materials are being sought. Aside from petrochemical feedstocks with precarious futures, materials that are derived from renewable resources such as crops are ...
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 ...
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 ...
Modification of Diglycidyl Ether of Bisphenol-A Epoxy Primer for Multi-Substrate Application
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Traditional vehicles and aircraft have consisted primarily of steel and aluminum alloys which due to their density, has resulted in various logistic problems including transportation, maneuverability, fuel efficiency. These ...
Sustainable Thermosetting Polymers: Biobased Epoxy Resin Systems and Aqueous Non-Isocyanate Polyurethanes
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
In recent years, there has been a desire to seek alternatives to petrochemically derived materials. These alternatives can be derived from renewable sources such as vegetable oils. However, methods for achieving sustainability ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Novel Polyvinylether Polymers Produced Using Carbocationic Polymerization
(North Dakota State University, 2011)
Using carbocationic polymerization, a series of novel polyvinylether polymers and
copolymers were synthesized and characterized. A series of polysiloxane copolymers
containing polymer grafts possessing Triclosan moieties ...
Surface Modifying Amphiphilic Additives for the Improvement of Fouling-Release Properties of Siloxane-Polyurethane Coatings
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Since mankind has navigated the world’s oceans, marine biofouling has been a persistent problem with several negative economic and environmental consequences. In modern times, the buildup of biofouling causes a significant ...
Low VOC Coating Systems From Novel Glycidyl Carbamate Resins
(North Dakota State University, 2010)
The goal of the research presented in this dissertation was to design and
synthesize novel glycidyl carbamate (GC) resins for low VOC applications and study the
structure property relationships of their coatings. Primarily ...
