Flow Accelerated Organic Coating Degradation
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Applying organic coatings is a common and the most cost effective way to protect metallic objects and structures from corrosion. Water entry into coating-metal interface is usually the main cause for the deterioration of ...
Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Carbon Nanofiber Reinforced High Density Polyethylene
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
High density polyethylene (HDPE) is widely used as a bearing material in industrial application because of its low friction and high wear resistance. Reinforcing polymers with the appropriate nanofillers is an effective ...
The Dynamics of Viscous Droplets near Micro-Patterned Solid Surfaces in Creeping Flow
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The interaction between droplets and solid surfaces is of great importance in industrial applications, biochemical processes, and fundamental materials research on surface wettability. In this work, a three-dimensional ...
Theoretical Study on Thin Film Dye Sensitized Photovoltaic Solar Cells
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
This thesis presents two models of a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC): diffusion model and electrical model. The main purpose is to investigate interfacial charge transfer and charge transport within the semiconductor/electrolyte ...
