Local and Effective Mechanical Properties of Polymer Nanocomposites
… information of the interfacial properties of embedded nanoparticles can be the key in developing calibrated hierarchical damage models. To this effect, a new methodology was developed to quantify the average interfacial shear strength (IFSS) of individual vapor grown carbon nanofibers (VGCNFs) …

Solid-state superionic conductors for advanced nanoscale fabrication
… the electrolyte, was found to precipitate silver nanoparticles within the interaction volume generated by the beam. Low electrical fluence results in the formation of a layer of embedded nanoparticles which produce vivid colors in reflected light. Meanwhile, at large fluence full silver films were …

Assessment of nanoparticle emission of polypropylene, polyester and epoxy nanocomposites during automated drilling process.
… process of potential exposure, or the impact of embedded nanoparticles in commercial composites when they are released during machining processes. In this thesis, four groups of nanocomposites are identified as being used within industry and having potentially-harmful nanoparticles - the …

Heat transport by phonons in crystalline materials and nanostructures
… in two important thermoelectric materials embedded with nanoscale precipitates. I find that the through-thickness lattice thermal conductivity of (PbTe)1-x/(PbSe)x nanodot superlattices (NDSLs) approaches the thermal conductivity of bulk homogenous PbTe1-xSe x alloys with the same average …
