Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals: Photophysical and Photochemical Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Lead halide perovskites nanocrystals (LHP NCs) are a recent novel material of ‘high-defect tolerance’ that has been synthesized which have provided a new platform for opto-electronic devices, such as photovoltaics and ...
Manipulation and Isolation of Biomolecules Using Dielectrophoretic and Hydrodynamic Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Novel particle manipulation techniques are developed to separate, isolate, and control a wide range biomolecules from DNA to cells in complex solution such as whole blood. First, we show that integrating an insulating tip ...
Investigating the Reduction of Fogging Behavior of Natural Fiber-Filled Polymers
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Synthetic fibers such as glass and carbon are used as reinforcement in polymer composites due to their high strength and modulus. However, synthetic fibers are non-biodegradable and contribute to high costs. In literature, ...
Adhesion With Slender Structures: Tape Loops, Crumples, and Origami
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The desire for improved adhesive systems led us to examine three geometries: tape loops, crumples, and origami shapes. The tape loop is mechanically interesting because it is stable in more than one configuration. For ...
Study of New Functionalized Nanomaterials for Non-Invasive Point-of-Care Biosensor Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Early disease detection and in-time health monitoring via novel sensing systems is highly demanded for modern medicine and health management. Recent development in nanotechnology and nanomaterials such as functionalized ...
Lignin and Cellulose Nanofibers Enhanced Corn-Based Thermoplastic Composites
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The goal of this project is to develop biobased thermoplastics and composites using corn as the main raw material. Corn contains mainly starch, zein, and oil. Thermoplastic starch/zein blends were prepared through internal ...
In-Silico Investigation of Geological and Biological Materials by Molecular Dynamics Simulations
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a computational technique that predicts the time-dependent behavior of a molecular system utilizing molecular mechanics. MD simulations are extensively employed in the scientific arena ...
