  1. SYNTHESIS AND RHEOLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF NON-SPHERICAL MICRO AND NANOSTRUCTURES Shaik Jeelani, Tuskegee University, DMR 0611612 Faculty: Tamara Floyd-Smith (Tuskegee University), Lynden Archer (Cornell University) Student: David Baah, (Tuskegee University) The objective of this task is to synthesize non-spherical particles using a microfluidics-based method and conduct rheological characterization of the particles in oligomeric suspensions. Non-spherical particles are of interest because they are expected to exhibit enhancements over traditional spherical particles for applications such as liquid body armor. These enhancements are realized because of the ability of cubes and potentially other shapes to pack more closely and uniformly based on their planar faces. David Baah, a PhD candidate in Materials Science and Engineering at Tuskegee University, has successfully synthesized polymeric, composite and ceramic libraries of non-spherical particles to investigate their rheological properties.
