Mechanical Properties of Multilayers of Carbon Nanotube Polystyrene Nanocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
We have studied the mechanical behavior of multi-layered composite films comprised of single-wall carbon nanotubes and polystyrene polymer, where we focused on three targeted layer thicknesses; 10 nm, 20 nm, and 40 nm. The ...
Development of Bio-based Wood Adhesive by Using Cellulose Nanofiber Reinforcement and Crosslinking Agent for Improved Bonding Strength
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Engineered woods, plywood, particle board, and oriented strand board, are widely used as a low-cost wood replacement in many applications. Many of the currently used wood adhesives contain chemicals that are harmful to ...
Synthesis and Utilization of Si6H12 and Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br) for the Generation of Novel Silicon Materials
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Cyclohexasilane (Si6H12) and its derivatives, Si6X12 (X = Cl, Br), have chemical and physical properties different from linear and branched polysilanes, thus creating interest in their use as starting materials for a variety ...
Agricultural Residues and Other Carbon-Based Resources as Feedstocks for Supercapacitor Electrodes
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Agricultural residues are generally considered as renewable, economical and environmental-friendly sources to produce carbon-based materials with many advanced applications. Agricultural residues and by-products generated ...
