Computational modelling of a hot-wire chemical vapour deposition reactor chamber
Fourie, Lionel Fabian (University of Western Cape, 2020)In this thesis, I explore the subjects of fluid dynamics and the Hot-Wire Chemical Vapour Deposition (HWCVD) process. HWCVD, in its simplicity, is one of the more powerful and elegant deposition techniques available in ... -
Exploring poly (2, 5) benzimidazole enhanced with carbon nanotubes for space applications
Fourie, Lionel Fabian (University of the Western Cape, 2023)This work explores using polymeric materials for space radiation shielding in low-earth orbit. Shielding against radiation is essential on any space mission. Low atomic number materials, such as hydrogen, have shown to be ...
