Development And Processing Of Shape Memory Polymer Composites (Smpcs) For Application In Structural Robotics And Robotic Sensors., Kavish Sudan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Shape Memory Polymers (SMPs) have attracted significant attention since their introduction in the 1980s due to their remarkable ability to regain their original shape from a temporarily deformed state when exposed to an external stimulus, typically heat. This shape memory effect, driven by thermal transitions such as the glass transition temperature (Tg) or melting temperature (Tm), has made SMPs highly attractive for applications in soft robotics, aerospace, and biomedical devices. However, SMPs face challenges such as limited mechanical strength, thermal stability, and electrical conductivity, which hinder their broader adoption in advanced applications.

Development Of Iii-V And Iv Epitaxy On Sapphire Technology, Emmanuel Wangila Aug 2024

Development Of Iii-V And Iv Epitaxy On Sapphire Technology, Emmanuel Wangila

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

This research presents comprehensive insights into the epitaxial growth of germanium (Ge) on c-plane sapphire substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The direct growth of Ge on sapphire typically yields three-dimensional (3D) Ge islands with diverse growth directions, multiple primary domains, and twinned crystals. However, incorporating a thin AlAs nucleation layer proves instrumental in enhancing surface and material quality. With a 10 nm AlAs layer, the achieved surface exhibits improved characteristics, including a smoother surface, single epitaxial orientation, sharper rocking curve, and a single domain. This study surpasses previous works by achieving a single primary domain and reducing twinning. Furthermore, …

We report on the growth of high-quality GaAs semiconductor materials on an AlAs/sapphire substrate by molecular beam epitaxy. The growth of GaAs on sapphire centers on a new single-step growth technique that produces higher-quality material than a previously reported multi-step growth method. Omega-2theta scans confirmed the GaAs (111) orientation. Samples grown at 700 °C displayed the highest crystal quality with minimal defects and strain, evidenced by narrow FWHM values of the rocking curve. By varying the As/Ga flux ratio and the growth temperature, we significantly improved the quality of the GaAs layer on sapphire, as compared to that obtained in …

Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science and Technology (JMEST)

The TiO2 film is immersed in a graphite oxide solution, preparing it for thermal reduction, which converts the graphite oxide to reduced graphene oxide (rGO). This process produces rGO hybrid TiO2 photoanodes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC). rGO in the TiO2 structure prevents electron recombination and improves overall efficiency. The main advantage of this method is its ability to prevent loss of rGO during the sintering process, which is a common problem with other methods. The study investigated heating temperatures ranging between 300˚C, 350˚C, 400˚C, 450˚C, and 500˚C to determine optimal conditions. The presence of rGO in the photoanode structure …
