Layered Composite thin Films for Cost Effective Transparent Organic Solar Cell Electrodes
(2015-08-20)
In this dissertation two main themes are explored. In the first part some phenomenologies of light transport across the ZnO/Al/ZnO (ZAZ) thin film multilayer structures are investigated. The multilayered ZAZ thin film ...
Nano and Micro-Particles for Breast Cancer Detection and Treatment
(2015-03-15)
This dissertation shows the use of material science and engineering approaches in developing solutions to problems in the life science with focus in nano and micro-particles for the detection and treatment of cancer. It ...
Mechanical Properties of Natural Fiber-Reinforced Earth-Based Composites
(2015-11-23)
This study presents the results of a combined experimental and theoretical study of the strength, fracture toughness and interfacial properties of natural fiber-reinforced earth-based composite materials. The composites, ...
Biodegradation and Recycling of Polyethylene into Composite Building Materials
(2015-07-19)
This work presents the results of experimental and theoretical studies of the biodegradation of polyethylene, recycling of polyethylene into strong and tough earth-based composite building materials and the statistical ...
Implantable Composite Devices for the Localized Treatment of Breast Cancer
(2015-06-15)
Current standard of care treatment modalities for early-stage breast cancer typically involve mastectomy or lumpectomy followed by radiation therapy to remove any residual cancer cells. Although mastectomy has a low ...
