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 ... -
Single-Wall Carbon Nanotube Films Dip-Coating by Colloidal Nanocrystals Bilayer Films
(North Dakota State University, 2019)A wrinkling approach was used to study the mechanics of hybrid nanotube/nanocrystal coatings adhering to soft polymer (PDMS) substrates. We focused on three thicknesses: 10 nm, 30 nm, and 40 nm. The approach we used is the ... -
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 ... -
Temperature Dependent Optical Properties of Silicon Quantum Dot/Polymer Nanocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)The photoluminescent properties of silicon quantum dots embedded in a stabilizing polymer matrix are relevant to a number of potential applications of these unique nanomaterials such as drug delivery, temperature sensing, ...
