Gloss Development Of Spray-Coated Systems, Aaron W. Clark
Gloss Development Of Spray-Coated Systems, Aaron W. Clark
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
A spray-coated system involves any substrate on which a liquid coating is applied in a drop-wise fashion. Inkjet printing is the controlled application of drops to print a surface and is the focus of this work. The gloss of the printed substrate is an important attribute of print quality. Print gloss depends on a number of factors, such as ink and media properties. Non-uniform gloss in different regions of a printed image can cause a decrease in quality of a printed sample. However, a good understanding of the gloss development of spray-coated systems is not available in the literature. Several …

Sger: Detection Of Bioterrorism-Linked Microbial Pathogens Using Surface Acoustic Wave Liquid Sensors, Maruicio Pereira Da Cunha, Paul J. Millard
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
Bioterrorism threats and attacks in civilian environments require sensors that can rapidly and accurately detect minute quantities of pathological bioagents. Selective and inexpensive sensors are urgently needed to detect pathogens in liquid environments, including food and water supplies. Conventional laboratory analyses are time-consuming, labor-intensive and inconsistent with the expedient response required in the wake or possibility of a bioterrorist act.
The activities proposed in this Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) are multidisciplinary and involve two faculty members from the University of Maine. Dr. Mauricio Pereira da Cunha, from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, will provide expertise in …
