I was the primary researcher on fiber morphological and mechanical study for my Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering. Within my 1.5 year tenure, we successfully published 2 papers* on the heat transfer effects into bi-component polymer fibers:
Effect of areal density and fiber orientation on the deformation of thermomechanical bonds in a nonwoven fabric
https://doi.org/10.1002/pen.24907
Biaxial properties of individual bonds in thermomechanically bonded nonwoven fabrics

*This is based on public information from our work. Approximately 60% of the work is confidential and under NDA with P&G.
I am proud to announce that I received the 2016 Paul E. Torgersen Graduate Student Research Excellence Award for this work. This award is given to top 3 research projects performed by graduating Masters and Doctoral students in the College of Engineering at Virginia Tech
