• Droplet Dynamics in Microfluidic Expansions 

  Deskins, Thomas K (2018)

  In this thesis we conduct an investigation into the transient deformation of a droplet flowing through a sudden expansion in a microfluidic device. The dynamics of droplets in confined microfluidic geometries is a problem ...

• 2-DIMENSIONAL ZEOLITES FOR ADSORPTIVE DESULFURIZATION 

  Fang, Jingyu (2018)

  The removal of sulfur-containing compounds from transportation fuels is of growing urgency due to the increasingly government stringent regulations. Adsorptive desulfurization at ambient conditions is a promising strategy ...

• Synthesis and Characterization of Hemostatic Foams 

  Rudy, Michael (2018)

  Hydrophobically modified (hm) derivatives of biopolymers like chitosan have the ability to coagulate blood cells and thus stop bleeding from severe injuries (i.e., achieve hemostasis). Our lab has been particularly interested ...

• HIGH ENERGY ZINC BATTERY SYSTEM WITH AN EXTREMELY WIDE OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE 

  Qing, Tingting (2018)

  Military and planetary application requires high energy density rechargeable battery with an extremely wide operating temperature range. Current rechargeable batteries only operate in a narrow range from -20 ℃ to 60 ℃. Low ...

• THE IMPACT OF THE SOLVENT BASE FOR A DISPERSANT ON THE EFFICIENCY OF CRUDE OIL DISPERSION 

  Fernandes III, Jay Clifton (2018)

  Dispersants used in the mitigation of oil spills are mixtures of amphiphilic molecules (surfactants) dissolved in a solvent. The recent large-scale use of dispersants has raised environmental concerns regarding the safety ...
