• An Investigation of Blast Waves Generated by Constant Velocity Flames 

  Luckritz, Robert Thomas (1977)

  The relevant flow field parameters associated with the generation and propagation of blast waves from constant velocity flames were systematically studied through numerical integrations of the non-steady equations for mass, ...

• SOFT-STIFF HYBRID HYDROGELS 

  Gharazi, Salimeh (2017)

  Many structures in nature, such as the squid beak, have a combination of stiff and soft parts with very different mechanical properties – for example, the elastic modulus of the stiff part can be about 100 times that of ...

• Solute Release from Polymer Capsules Loaded With Liposomes 

  Acharya, Priyanka (2017)

  Polymer capsules and lipid vesicles (liposomes) are two types of containers that have been extensively studied for their applications in drug delivery. In this thesis, we explore a hybrid of these two structures (i.e. ...

• ELECTROCHEMICAL COMPRESSION WITH ION EXCHANGE MEMBRANES FOR AIR CONDITIONING, REFRIGERATION AND OTHER RELATED APPLICATIONS 

  Tao, Ye (2017)

  The refrigeration industry in the US are facing two main challenges. First of all, the phase down of HFCs in the future would require industries to seek alternative refrigerants which do not contribute to global warming. ...

• Multilayered Spheres, Tubes, and Surfaces Synthesized by "Inside-Out" Polymerization 

  Zarket, Brady (2017)

  Numerous materials in nature, including eggs, onions, spinal discs, and blood vessels, have multiple layers. Each layer in these materials has a distinct composition and thereby a unique function in the overall material. ...
