Additive manufactured biodegradable and biocompatible polymeric nanocomposite scaffolds for bone tissue engineering applications
Karimipour Fard, Pedram (2021-08-01)In this thesis, the focus is on using the fused deposition modeling (FDM) method to manufacture functional biodegradable nanocomposite Polymeric Bone Tissue Scaffolds (PBTS). PBTSs are complex products, which have attracted ... -
Design and development of a custom dual fuel (hydrogen and gasoline) power system for an extended range electric vehicle architecture
Van Wieringen, Matt (2009-06-01)In recent decades there has been a growing global concern with regards to vehicle-generated green house gas (GHG) emissions and the resulting air pollution. Currently, gasoline and diesel are the most widely used automotive ... -
Design and development of a novel lightweight long-reach composite robotic arm
Willis, Darrin (2009-08-01)Metallic robotic arms, or manipulators, currently dominate automated industrial operations, but due to their intrinsic weight, have limited usefulness for large-scale applications in terms of precision, speed, and ... -
Design and development of an extended range electric bywire/wireless hybrid vehicle with a near wheel motor drivetrain
Bernacki, Mark (2009-05-01)With automobile propulsion energy sources turning away from petroleum, the evolution of technology naturally lends itself to electrical hybrid vehicle architectures relying on alternatives as a primary electrical energy ... -
Design and development of hydrophobic and protective polymer-based spray coatings for treating glass surfaces in building and automotive applications
Pao, Wing Yi (2019-08-01)Glass surfaces in buildings and vehicles are susceptible to two common problems: unrestricted energy transmittance of light-waves resulting in increased HVAC costs, and reduced visibility as a consequence of wetting during ... -
Design, development and experimental validation of a lab-scale system for rapid rotational molding of functionally graded integral-skin cellular polyethylene composites
Raktim, Isha K. (2020-03-01)An existing lab-scale experimental setup system, originally developed for a patented Rapid Rotational Foam Molding (RRFM) process, was re-designed, built, and its functionality was successfully experimentally verified. The ... -
Development and characterization of electrically conductive thermoplastic based composite materials for fuel cell bipolar plates
Tariq, Muhammad (2022-08-01)Thermoplastic composites exhibit multiple attractive attributes, such as lightweight, low cost, ease and speed of manufacturing, and ability to recycle, which make them ideal for a wide range of applications. Composites ... -
Development of polymeric nano-composite fiber based structures for acoustics and filtration applications
Utkarsh (2021-08-01)Electrospinning lab-scale experimental set-up was developed for manufacturing polymeric nanofiber composites for acoustics and filtration applications. In this study, nanofiber membranes were fabricated using two types of ... -
Investigation of factors that influence coloration in polycarbonate based compounded plastics
Ahmed, Shahid (2015-08-01)Consistently producing compounded plastics in the correct colour without making adjustments of the colour formulation or the processing conditions is very challenging for coloured plastics manufacturers. Conversely, the ... -
Rapid rotational foam molding of integral skin polypropylene cellular composites
Abdalla, Emad (2009-05-01)Rapid Rotational Foam Molding (RRFM) is a novel patent-pending process that was designed and developed to maximize the synergistic effects resulting from the deliberate combination of extrusion and rotational foam molding ... -
Rapid rotational foam molding of polyethylene integral-skin foamed core moldings
Christian, Kimberly Anne (2009-06-01)This thesis focuses on the design, development, and evolution of a novel patent-pending plastic processing technology entitled “Rapid Rotational Foam Molding” with special emphasis on the processing of polyethylene (PE) ...
