DEVELOPMENT AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SMART POLYMERIC-BASED SELF-HEALING NANOCOMPOSITE COATINGS FOR CORROSION PROTECTION OF CARBON STEEL
(2024 , Dissertation)Corrosion is a major cause of materials and equipment failure in the Oil & Gas industry and accounts for 1/4 to 1/3 of the total downtime, and its prevention is crucial to ensure reliability of the assets. The smart polymeric ... -
THE EFFECT OF ONE- AND TWO-DIMENSIONAL NANOFILLERS ON THE THERMOELECTRIC PROPERTIES OF N-TYPE BISMUTH TELLURIDE NANOCOMPOSITES
(2024 , Dissertation)Bismuth telluride alloys are the most commercially mature thermoelectric materials, but their conversion efficiencies are still low due to the undeveloped n-type semiconductor material. In this work, the thermoelectric ... -
DESIGN OF FULLY POROUS FUNCTIONALLY GRADED TI-6AL-4V FEMORAL STEM FOR STRESS SHIELDING AND IMPLANT'S STABILITY
(06-2 , Dissertation)The main objective of this study is to design titanium alloy femoral stems with cubic porous structures that will be able to reduce stress-shielding and promote stem stability. Stress-shielding is one of the factors that ... -
Tribo-Mechanical, Biocompatibility, and Corrosion Properties Investigation of Zirconium and SST 304 by Application of Hydroxyapatite/Reduced Graphene Oxide/Palladium-Platinium Nanocomposite Coatings
(2020 , Dissertation)This thesis describes the synthesis of HA/rGO/Pd and HA/rGO/Pt nanocomposite thin film coatings on stainless steel 304 and pure zirconium applied via an electrodeposition method. The corrosion and biocompatibility ... -
Investigation of Hybrid Effects of CNT and Nanoclay in Tailoring Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Epoxy
(2020 , Dissertation)Many studies performed on multifunctional properties of epoxy-based nanocomposites reinforced with CNTs and nanoclay whereas synergetic effects of CNTs and nanoclay on mechanical and piezoresistive behavior of ternary ... -
Development of Bifunctional Oxygen Electrocatalysts Using Solution Combustion Synthesis For Fuel Cell Applications
(2019 , Dissertation)Advanced energy storage and conversion systems such as fuel cells and metal air batteries achieved wide attention. Oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) are the prominent reactions that ...
