Fluid Mechanics of Micro Cold Spray Direct Write Process
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Cold spray, also known as the gas dynamic spray process, was first discovered in the 1980s while doing high speed two phase wind tunnel experiments. The principle underlying this process is that if a metal particle is ...
Aerosol-Based Ultrafine Material Deposition for Microelectronics
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Aerosol-based direct-write refers to the additive process of printing CAD/CAM features from an apparatus which creates a liquid or solid aerosol beam. Direct-write technologies are poised to become useful tools in the ...
High-Performance Simulations for Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Reactor
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Plasma-assisted processing and deposition of materials is an important component of modern industrial applications, with plasma reactors sharing 30% to 40% of manufacturing steps in microelectronics production [1]. Development ...
Fluid Dynamics of Material Micro-Deposition: Capillary-Based Droplet Deposition and Aerosol-Based Direct-Write
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
With rapid development of the direct-write technology, in addition to requirement of non-destructive printing, there is a need for non-expensive, robust, and simplified techniques of micro/nano fabrication. This dissertation ...
The Physico-Chemical Investigation of Interfacial Properties in Natural Fiber/Vinyl Ester Biocomposites
(North Dakota State University, 2012)
Bast fibers are one of most widely used types of cellulosic natural fibers. Flax fibers, a specific type of bast fiber, have historically been used as reinforcements in composites because they offer competitive advantages, ...
