The present invention comprises a method to produce carbon fiber from relatively low-cost precursors from polyolefins and their compounded derivatives.
This invention is used to image completed nuclear fuel rods using backscatter x-rays at a sufficient resolution to ensure the pellets contained in the rods are not fractured, existing welds are satisfactory, and there are no significant cracks or other defects in the rods.
It is well known that biomass has primarily two source of fermentable carbohydrates, cellulose and hemicellulose, and research has been underway for decades aimed at both depolymerizing these complex carbohydrates and ferment them to products of interest such as fuels and chem
Remote sampling of the inside of stacks allows for analysis of stack contamination to determine proper remediation during disassembly and removal of the stack.
Industrial sites may contain many contaminated off-gas ventilation stacks requiring remediation.
Many integrated circuit devices such as computer chips rely on interconnects made of copper to electrically join them to a power source and/or other devices. Surface electromigration in copper interconnects is the primary mode of failure in computer chip circuits.
The U.S. is currently spending 18% of total U.S. electricity consumption for lighting (DOE, 2010). Some 98% of the energy input to incandescent bulbs ends up as heat instead of light.
The emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from burning of fossil fuels has received worldwide attention because of its implication in climate change, which threatens economies and environments.
This invention is a novel predictive environmental framework to control the in-service health of structures or equipment by monitoring real-time, condition-based detection of impending failure, allowing repairs only when necessary, with substantial time and cost savings over a
Templated carbon materials have recently received tremendous attention due to energy storage and separations applications. Hierarchical structures are ideal for increased mass-transport throughout the carbon material.
