Title of Dissertation: Probing the Dynamics of Ultra-Fast Condensed State Reactions in Energetic Materials Nicholas W. Piekiel, Doctor of Philosophy, 2012 Directed By: Michael R. Zachariah, Professor Department of Mechanical Engineering and Chemistry Energetic materials (EMs) are substances with a high amount of stored energy and the ability to release that energy at a rapid rate. Nanothermites...

This study compared organically reared chickens with conventionally reared ones with regard to fatty acid composition traits. The conventional and organic flocks with an average age of 40 days were raised in an indoor pen. Stocking densities of conventional and organic ones were 0.05 and 0.13 m/bird, respectively. The conventional diet was formulated with common ingredients whereas the organic ...

Picric acid has a tendency to form stable picrate compounds with various organic molecules due to the presence of active electron cloud and ionic bonds (Yamaguchi et al., 1988). In the past two decades, organic nonlinear optical (NLO) picrate crystals have attracted the scientists and technologists due to their potential applications in the area of photonics including optical information proces...

Organisms produce various organic/inorganic hybrid materials, which are called biominerals. They form through the self-organization of organic molecules and inorganic elements under ambient conditions. Biominerals often have highly organized and hierarchical structures from nanometer to macroscopic length scales, resulting in their remarkable physical and chemical properties that cannot be obta...
