This project is basically an investigation of graphene and carbon nanotube (CNT) based material's electrical properties. In its first part, graphene (G) and graphene oxide (GO)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) hybrid films were successfully fabricated as high-performance electrode materi…

Surface-initiated photo-iniferter mediated controlled polymerisation was used as a technique for the development of advanced and smart materials. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) shell nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesised in this way from PAMAM dendrimers, used as a graftable…
The AsF6- anion, in the crystalline polymer electrolyte PEO6:LiAsF6, was replaced with the larger N(SO2CF3)2- anion. This produced an increase in the room temperature ionic conductivity of 1.5 orders of magnitude. It is believed that the enhancement is the result of the disrupti…
Porous media are used in several thermal management systems, such as loop-heat-pipes, to control the temperature of electronics and other components. It is important to understand the mechanisms of flow and phase-change in porous media to better control/increase the performance …
The Blackside Dace (Chrosomus cumberlandensis; BSD) is a federally threatened minnow that has been extirpated from 31 streams in Tennessee and Kentucky since 1978. Although there is strong evidence linking elevated conductivity levels and low BSD occurrence, the mechanistic rela…
High-structured carbon blacks are commonly used as electrically conductive additives in electrode slurries that are either processed into solid electrodes for batteries and fuel cells or used as flowable electrodes for semi-solid flow batteries. For these slurries, it is necessa…
