Nanostructured thin film thermoelectric composite materials using conductive polymer PEDOT:PSS
Thermoelectric materials have the ability to convert heat directly into electricity. This clean energy technology has advantages over other renewable technologies in that it requires no sunlight, has no moving parts, and is easily scalable. With the majority of the unused energy in the United …

Nanostructured Thin Film Synthesis by Aerosol Chemical Vapor Deposition for Energy Storage Applications
… emerged as a promising single-step approach for nanostructured thin film synthesis directly on substrates. The relationship between the morphology and the operating parameters in the process is complex. In this work, a simulation based approach has been developed to understand the relationship …

Thermodynamic modeling and microcalorimetry of nanostructured materials for capacitive thermal management of electronics
… of requirements. In this thesis I propose novel nanostructured thin-film materials that can potentially exhibit significantly enhanced volumetric enthalpy change. Using fundamental thermodynamics of phase transition, calculations regarding the enhancement resulting from superheating in such thin …

Mechanical behavior of nanostructured metallic films under compressive and shear loads
… and shear stiffnesses and bonding strengths of nanostructured thin films consisting of arrays of Cu and Ag helical springs. Rectangular areas of films were loaded in uniform compression and shear and the film properties were obtained through the load versus displacement response. The compressive …
