Laser Carbon Interactions

Vander Wal R., Abrahamson J., Penn State University, US

This presentation describes laser heating of carbon materials. The carbon industry has been annealing carbon via traditional furnace heating since at least 1800, when Sir Humphry Davy produced an electric arc with carbon electrodes made [...]

A platform for extremely sensitive gas sensing: 2D materials on silicon carbide

Eriksson J., Rodner M., Yakimova R., Spetz A.L., Linkoping University, SE

2D materials offer a unique platform for sensing with extremely high sensitivity, since even minimal chemical interaction causes noticeable changes in the electronic state. An area where extreme sensitivity is particularly interesting is in the [...]

Advances in MOCVD Production of Complex Materials from Single Source Precursors: Phase Pure Metal Phosphide Thin Films for Catalysis and Energy Applications

Whitmire K., Rice University, US

Transient Foaming Behavior of CO2-soluble, Viscoelastic Surfactant in Microfluidic Model, Sand Pack and Limestone Core

Ramadhan G., P. Nguyen Q., The University of Texas at Austin, US

Aqueous foam has been demonstrated through laboratory and field experiments as an effective conformance control technique for gas enhanced oil recovery and carbon sequestration. The use of polymer as an additive to an aqueous foam [...]

Coatings for next-generation harsh environment systems.

DiMaio J.R., Shaughnessy M., Berger K., Morgan B., Haldeman A.T., Tetramer Technologies, US

From space to oil and gas wells, polyimide coatings and films are used to protect critical components such as fiber optic cables, enameled wires, and sensors in harsh environments. Polyimide materials provide exceptional thermal durability, [...]

Electrocatalytic CO2 Conversion for Seasonal Energy Storage

Weekes D.M., Berlinguette C.P., The University of British Columbia, CA

The grid-scale deployment of clean electricity requires highly efficient energy conversion and storage technologies. The electrocatalytic conversion of waste CO2 represents a compelling energy storage pathway because the carbon-based products can be deployed in major [...]
