Flexible adaptation of iterative learning control with applications to synthetic bone graft manufacturing
… known as synthetic bone scaffolds, are highly porous three-dimensional structures that provide a matrix to support the natural process of bone remodeling. Ideally, the synthetic scaffold will stimulate complete bone healing in a skeletal defect site and also resorb with time so that only …

Processing-structure-property relationships of surface porous polymers for orthopaedic applications
… success. In this dissertation, a novel surface porous structure has been created, where limiting the porosity to the surface maintains adequate mechanical properties for load bearing applications while providing a surface for improved osseointegration. Careful control of the processing …

Study of Freeze-Cast Porous Silica Nanoparticle-Based Composites
Porous silica-based nanocomposites are promising ceramics, as they exhibit high specific surface area, highly porous network, and a surface that can be easily functionalized. This dissertation describes the results of a study on the formation and properties of porous silica nanoparticle-based …

Irradiation effects on geopolymer and additively manufactured 316H stainless steel and porosity in equine hoof wall
… allowed us to explore the influence of porous microstructures on AM 316H SS’s radiation resistance. By investigating varying pore configurations (1 to 30,720 pores) and primary knock-on atom (PKA) energies (5, 10, and 15 keV), this modeling revealed that defect numbers increased …

Designer Porous Carbon Electrodes for Redox Flow Batteries
Porous carbon electrodes play an important role in electrochemical systems by providing electrocatalytic sites to facilitate faradaic reactions, distributing reactants and products, and conducting electrons and heat. The microstructure and surface chemistry of such electrodes are of particular …
