Effects of a combined supercritical extraction/thermal cycle on binder removal cycle time, yield, residual carbon, and defect formation in multilayer ceramic capacitors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In this work, a combined cycle consisting of a supercritical extraction cycle (SCE) followed by a thermal cycle (TC), was used to remove binder from green multilayer ceramic capacitors. The dielectric was barium titanate ...
Large-scale fabrication of SiC nanofibers and plasma interface engineering of polymer nanocomposites and dental composite restoration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] SiC nanofibers in gram-scale per batch were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. A systematic comparison of different sized graphite and multi-walled ...
Nanomaterial surface modification for heat-transfer nanofluid and electrochemical DNA biosensor development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Low-temperature plasma polymerization was performed to coat the individual nanomaterial not only for better suspension but also for thermal conductivity ...
Validation and insight into a novel packed-bed electrode flow battery architecture
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
In order to improve upon current flow battery technology and to obtain higher specific energies, a novel packed-bed electrode flow battery (PBEFB) is proposed. The validation of the use of packed-bed electrodes in a flow ...
Production, characterization, and applications of activated carbon
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
This thesis investigates the production of activated carbon, an environmentally friendly adsorbent which is used in many industries. Activated carbon can be derived from many different sources and produced in varying ...
Air permit for the construction and operation of a calcium carbide manufacturing plant
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The purpose of this thesis is to determine the regulatory requirements necessary for constructing calcium carbide manufacturing plants. Material and thermal balances were made on the basis of biomass as a substitute for ...
Development of a combined dilatometer and mass spectrometer system for studying gas phase chemistry and kinetics during sintering
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Details on the components and materials comprising the combined dilatometry mass spectrometry (CDMS) apparatus are provided; including recent modifications, operating procedures and information on major system failures. ...
The production, applications and economic study of activated carbon for large scale production including an educational study on undergraduate laboratory modules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
The production of activated carbon was evaluated using a biomass feed stock, corn cobs, as a precursor. The importance of the carbonization process and activation process are discussed and how nanopores and its unique ...
