Current sensing atomic force microscopy study of aging mechanism of the nafion membranes due to thermal annealing
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2011-09-14)Proton transport properties of Nafion 212 and Nafion 115 membranes have been studied using current sensing atomic force microscopy to reveal changes of the ionic domains and the local ionic conductivity distribution in ... -
Modeling aerosols formed in the ring pack of a reciprocating piston
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-05-17)The hydrocarbon emissions of an internal combustion engine are directly correlated with the engine's oil consumption. This oil consumption is associated with reverse blow-by, a condition in which gases flow past the ring-pack ...
