Title of dissertation: OPTICAL AND THERMAL PROPERTIES OF NANOPOROUS MATERIAL AND DEVICES Kyowon Kim, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Dissertation directed by: Professor Thomas E. Murphy Dept. of Electrical & Computer Engineering In this thesis, we investigate the optical and thermal properties of porous silicon and its applications. In first part, porous silicon’s optical properties and application ...

this study is considering a micropolar fluid flow over a porous stretching sheet in the presence of thermal radiation and uniform magnetic field. the effects of local variation in thermal conductivity of micropolar fluid on heat transfer rate from the sheet are investigated; besides, the impacts of radiation, magnetic field and porous sheet on variations of thermal boundary layer thickness are ...

Porous biomaterials have been widely used as scaffolds in tissue engineering and cell-based therapies. The release of biological agents from conventional porous scaffolds is typically governed by molecular diffusion, material degradation, and cell migration, which do not allow for dynamic external regulation. We present a new active porous scaffold that can be remotely controlled by a magnetic ...

Porous polymers, integrating the advantages of porous materials and conventional polymers, have been well developed and exhibited tremendous attention in the fields of material, chemistry and biology. Of these, boron-containing conjugated porous polymers, featuring tunable geometric structures, unique Lewis acid boron centers and very rich physical properties, such as high specific surface, cha...
