The world’s energy demands are projected to increase by nearly 50% by the year 2040, and consumption of carbon-based fuels continues to release greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere. This has been causally linked with climate change and increased extreme weather events, which has been further linked to adverse health outcomes and negative effects on biodiversity, food security, and increased disease transmission. Clearly, there is a need for a sustainable, carbon-free, and cost-effective method of energy production to meet growing energy production demands. The sun irradiates Earth’s surface annually with ~80,000 terawatts (TW), making solar …

Direct Printing Of Conductive Inks For Organic Electronics And Wearable Microfluidics, Aditi Naik
Doctoral Dissertations
This dissertation examines the direct printing of conductive inks on polymeric substrates for applications in organic electronics, microfluidic valving systems, and wearable sweat sensors. The inexpensive production of solution-based electrodes with high electrical conductivity is necessary to enable the next-generation of printed, flexible, and organic electronics. Specifically, the optimization and printing of liquid-phase graphene ink and nanoparticle-based silver ink by soft nanoimprint lithography and inkjet-printing is discussed to achieve printed functional devices. Using scalable low-cost patterning systems, these flexible applications are compatible with roll-to-roll processing, enabling large-scale manufacturing. This research expands the knowledge of high-resolution printing optimization for the direct …

A uniform dispersion of reactants is necessary to achieve a complete reaction involving multi-components, especially for the crosslinking of rigid high-performance materials. In these reactions, miscibility is crucial for curing efficiency. This miscibility is typically enhanced by adding a third component, a plasticizer. For the reaction of the highly crystalline crosslinking agent hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) with a strongly hydrogen-bonded phenol formaldehyde resin, furfural has been traditionally used as the plasticizer. However, the reason for its effectiveness is not clear. In this doctoral thesis work, miscibility and crosslinking efficiency of plasticizers in phenolic curing reactions are studied by thermal analysis and spectroscopic …
