Development And Characterization Of Stable Low-Cost Salt Hydrate-Based Phase Change Materials For Thermal Energy Storage Applications, Damilola Olayinka Akamo
Doctoral Dissertations
Energy storage technologies are gaining attention due to rising utilization of renewable energy sources. One of the viable energy storage technologies is thermal energy storage (TES) in which system stores and releases thermal energy for various uses. Applications for TES systems include building systems, space heating and cooling, and refrigeration. Several TES systems use phase change materials (PCMs) to operate near-isothermally owing to phase change latent heat. Inorganic salt hydrate PCMs are popular because to their inexpensive cost, high energy density, and near ambient phase transition temperature. However, salt hydrate PCMs have phase separation, low thermal conductivity, and supercooling issues …

Frontiers In The Self-Assembly Of Charged Macromolecules, Khatcher O. Margossian
Doctoral Dissertations
The self-assembly of charged macromolecules forms the basis of all life on earth. From the synthesis and replication of nucleic acids, to the association of DNA to chromatin, to the targeting of RNA to various cellular compartments, to the astonishingly consistent folding of proteins, all life depends on the physics of the organization and dynamics of charged polymers. In this dissertation, I address several of the newest challenges in the assembly of these types of materials. First, I describe the exciting new physics of the complexation between polyzwitterions and polyelectrolytes. These materials open new questions and possibilities within the context …
