Combined dilatometry and mass spectrometry of sintering and evolved gases of barium titanate and zirconium diboride with sintering additives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)A combined dilatometer mass spectrometer system (CDMS) is used to monitor the gas phase species and sintering progress in real time during the heating of barium titanate and ultra high temperature ceramics (UHTCs), including ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Failure analysis of green ceramic bodies during thermal debinding
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)In industry, thermal debinding is the traditional mode of binder removal from multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCs). Binder removal from ceramics takes as long as 50-150 h, thereby contributing significantly to the manufacturing ... -
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 ... -
Permeability analysis for thermal binder removal from green ceramic bodies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)The permeability of unlaminated and laminated green tapes was determined as a function of binder content for binder removed by air oxidation. The tapes are comprised of barium titanate as the dielectric, and polyvinyl ... -
A study of nanostructured materials toward coronary artery stenting and DNA-based biosensing
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Vascular stenting has emerged as a viable method for treating occluded arteries. Unfortunately, implanted stents are subject to re-obstruction triggered ... -
Supercritical extraction of binder from multilayer ceramic capacitors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)Supercritical extraction using carbon dioxide was carried out in a semi-continuous mode on the binder and its components of an acrylate-based system, the results of which were compared with a poly (vinyl butyral)-based ...
