Current research focus on improvement of electrical, mechanical, surface characteristics of polypropylene films by incorporation of nanoparticles into the polymer matrix of the film. We built 3D model of polypropylene Nanocomposites made of polypropylene matrix and incorporating various ... Read More
Existing commercial pyrolysis systems do not have the capability to perform millisecond-scale temporal analysis of pyrolysis vapors that can provide time-resolved experimental data on the reactive and stable gas-phase intermediates predicted by models based on Density Functional Theory ...

Seawater can be converted into fresh water using solar energy. This is as an easy, suitable and green solution method to obtain heat for desalination. It is possible to concentrate the sunlight heat flux onto a small focal area by using a Fresnel lens. When the focal area is correctly ... Read More
Controlling the odiferous landfill gas (LFG) [e.g., Hydrogen sulfide (H2S)] emission is an important environmental issue during operating a municipal solid waste (MSW) landfill. A combination of LFG collection system and landfill cover has been an adapted method to mitigate the issue ... Read More
The blood-brain barrier presents a unique and highly selective semipermeable barrier composed of endothelial and supporting cells. In stressed states, such as during systemic inflammation, the barrier can become “leaky”, increasing in permeability and leading to unwanted solutes from the ... Read More
The most common method for in-situ recovery of oil sands is Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD). SAGD is based on injecting pressurized steam into the ground to heat up the highly viscous bitumen and reduce its viscosity allowing oil to flow. This process is energy and emissions ... Read More
Optical devices are generally simulated using ideal structures. These ideal geometries are critical in finding major features of the optical response. Unfortunately, fabrication of such devices rarely results in structures that are ideal.[1] In particular, surface roughness is rarely ... Read More
Heat cancer therapy (HT) involves increasing tumor temperatures to 40-44°C and is a potent radiosensitizer for the treatment of solid tumors, including brain cancer. Current strategies to heat deep-seated targets in the brain are primarily invasive, and existing HT applicators do not ... Read More
We demonstrate a COMSOL Multiphysics®-based approach to light management for upconversion-based solar cells (UBSCs). Single-junction solar cells are of high importance to sustainable energy production, however the cells are limited in their performance by the bandgap of the solar cell. ... Read More
Micro-transfer printing (MTP) enables mass-transfer of wafer-level chips having lateral dimensions ranging from 3 x 7 um to 650 x 650 um to a nonnative substrate. This is accomplished with an elastomeric stamp containing micrometer scale posts that have been precisely defined using ... Read More
