Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate in cementitious systems : chemomechanical correlations, extreme temperature behavior, and kinetics and morphology of in-situ formation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Concrete, the second most used material on the planet, is a multi-scale heterogeneous material. A fundamental component known as Calcium-Silicate-Hydrate which forms from the reaction between cement and water is the binding ... -
Candidate anode materials for iron production by molten oxide electrolysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Molten oxide electrolysis (MOE) has been identified by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) as one of four possible breakthrough technologies to alleviate the environmental impact of iron and steel production. This ... -
Capillary densification and adhesion tuning of aligned carbon nanotube arrays for shape-engineerable architectures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)The advantaged intrinsic and scale-dependent properties of aligned nanofibers (NFs), such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs), and their ability to be self-assembled by capillary forces motivates their use as shape-engineerable ... -
Capillary instabilities in thin, solid films

Capillary-driven shape evolution in solid-state micro- and nano-scale systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Thin films are the fundamental building blocks of many micro- and nano-scale devices. However, their high surface-area-to-volume ratio makes them unstable due to excess surface free energy. Capillarity drives a process ... -
Carbide formation in a nickel-based superalloy during electron beam solid freeform fabrication
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)The Electron Beam Solid Freeform Fabrication process involves the use of an electron beam to make near-net-shape metal parts without the need for tooling. Material in wire form is fed into a melt pool maintained on the ... -
Carbon nano-relays for low power switching
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)In this thesis two unique carbon based nanoelectromechanical switches or carbon nano-relays are demonstrated as a toolkit for investigating NEMs based low power switching. The first is a vertical carbon nano-relay, consisting ... -
Carbon nanotube assisted formation of sub-50 nm polymeric nano-structures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)A novel processing method was developed for sub-50 nm structures by integrating quantum dots (QDs) on patterned polymer substrates. Poly(styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSMa) was prepared by the initiated chemical vapor ... -
Carbon nanotube interconnects for IC chips
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been investigated as candidate materials to replace or augment the existing copper-based technologies as interconnects for Integrated Circuit (IC) chips. Being ballistic conductors, CNTs are ... -
Carbon nanotube synthesis for integrated circuit interconnects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)Based on their properties, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been identified as ideal replacements for copper interconnects in integrated circuits given their higher current density, inertness, and higher resistance to ... -
