Thermoelectric Transport in Disordered Materials
(2022)
Material disorder comes in two forms, dynamic energetic disorder and static energetic disorder, both of which can greatly influence charge and thermoelectric (TE) transport properties by altering the energy dependences of ...
Novel Greening, Processing Route, and Bio-Inspired Hierarchical Structuring of Engineered Cementitious Composites for Sustainable Infrastructure
(2017)
Strain-hardening cementitious composites (SHCCs) are a family of cementitious materials that preserve the advantages of concrete as a construction material, while eliminating many of concrete’s shortcomings. While concrete ...
Investigating Microstructural Effects on Short Crack Growth and Fatigue Life Behavior of WE43 Magnesium
(2018)
Magnesium alloys are increasingly being used in structural applications due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, particularly in applications where reductions in weight can result in significant improvements to ...
Engineering of Self-healing Adhesives and Polymeric Sensors with Stretchable Applications
(2020)
An ultra-fast self-healing adhesive (SHA) has been developed based on a reversible network of dynamic metal−ligand interactions which is strategically manipulated by activation energy control. The amorphous structure with ...
Temporal and Spatial Nanobiomaterials for Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery
(2020)
The intersection of materials science, biology, and nanotechnology has allowed for the development of advanced nanobiomaterials for tissue engineering and drug delivery. With more knowledge of how physical and chemical ...
Study of Thermal and Magnetic Properties in Strongly Correlated Materials
(2020)
The search for quantum materials is always an exciting field in condensed matter physics. The strongly correlated materials are one of the most intensively studied systems for decades. Due to the complex interplay between ...
Analyzing the Stability and Kinetics of Ceramic Electrolyte/Organic Electrolyte Interfaces for LI Metal Batteries
(2020)
The need for high-energy-density Li-ion batteries has provided the impetus to replace graphite anodes with Li metal anodes. Unfortunately, the liquid electrolytes (LEs) used in state-of-the-art (SOA) Li-ion batteries are ...
First Principles Study of Magnesium/Oxygen Batteries and Glassy Solid Electrolytes
(2018)
A transition to electrified transportation would benefit from the development of batteries with energy densities beyond that of Li-ion batteries. New battery chemistries and materials are needed to realize this transition. ...
Multidisciplinary Study of Soft Shape Morphing Systems
(2021)
Nature abounds with examples of shape morphing systems where an entity either gradually grows into a complex 3-D shape pattern or rapidly morphs into a new configuration. Inspired by the shape shifting capabilities of ...
From Small Molecules to Polymers: Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Organic Conjugated Systems for Solar Applications
(2018)
The world is seeing rapid population growth and with this growth, energy demands have soared. Traditionally, fossil fuels have been used to meet these demands, but extraction of fossil fuels is detrimental to the environment, ...
