(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)The morphologies of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-containing diblock polymers are investigated as a function of volume fraction, segregation, processing procedure, and temperature. Strongly segregated polyisoprene-PDMS and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)A three phase analytical protocol is developed to systematize the study of multifaceted serpentinite bronze-casting moulds from Bronze Age Anatolia (ca. 3500-1700 B.C.). These moulds represent a class of metal processing ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)The miniaturization of electromechanical transducers using bulk and surface micromachining processes has enabled the deployment of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) in a variety of applications, from cell phones and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)(cont.) revealed jagged and branched crack fronts at plate interface, tortuous crack paths, non-uniform angles of polygons (suggesting possible intrinsic deformability and displacement/sliding). The technique of nanoindentation ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)The advancement of the fabrication of a one-dimensional photonic crystal without time-reversal and space-inversion symmetries was pursued. Theoretical studies predict that such a system would exhibit unusual optical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This thesis describes the theory and fabrication of inhomogeneous Liquid Crystal anchoring layers. While chemical anchoring techniques have proved useful for many applications, especially Liquid Crystal Displays, they have ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)With conventional water sources in short and decreasing availability, new technologies for water supply have a crucial role to play in addressing the world's clean water needs in the 21st century. In this thesis, we examine ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The crude oil supply crisis the world is facing today along with the disastrous global warming caused primarily as a result the green house gases, has heightened the need for an eco-friendly and renewable energy technology. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)Future growth of optical communication into new application and market space is highly dependent on the ability of optical receivers to increase functionality while reducing price and physical size. Current hybrid receiver ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)The average operating temperature of RENÉ N5® high pressure turbine blades was evaluated via [gamma]/[gamma]' microstructure and coating/base metal interdiffusion methods. The [gamma]' volume fraction was measured by point ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)The past two decades have seen advancements in high temperature superconducting cables for use in applications such as electrical transmission lines, propulsion systems, and mobile power generation systems. This work ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Thermoelectrics (TE) are devices which can convert heat in the form of a temperature gradient into electricity, or alternatively generate and absorb heat when an electrical current is run through them. It was established ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Internal combustion (IC) engines are broadly utilized today. The friction caused by piston rings in IC engines contributes around 20% of the mechanical friction losses. The liner finish is the most critical parameter to ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)The optical properties of photonic crystals were studied to gain an understanding of the response of these structures to electromagnetic waves. In particular, multilayer films and two-dimensional systems were studied. It ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)As an alternative transportation fuel to petrodiesel, biodiesel has been widely promoted within national energy portfolio targets across the world. Early estimations of low lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)In the past 15 years corporations and governments have developed a growing appreciation of the need for "sustainability" and have worked the term into their goals, strategy and mission statements. Despite extensive efforts ...
