Composites of carbon nanotubes
(2008-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research was to study various methods of incorporation of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) with polymers for producing electrically conductive polystyrene composites. ...
Anisotropic elastic moduli for crystalline hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine from Monte Carlo calculations and molecular dynamic simulations of the unimolecular dissociation of 1,3,3-trinitroazetidine
(2007-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this work was two fold. First to determine an efficient means by which to determine the elastic tensor from fluctuation data, specifically, data from Monte Carlo molecular dynamics ...
I. Steric effects in the synthesis of 2,3-dihydro-4-(1H)-quinolinones by the tandem Michael-SNAr reactionII. Synthesis of Nitrogen heteroarotinoids for anticancer activityIII. Synthetic study of supramolecular compounds
(2013-07)
In the initial project, a one-pot tandem reaction sequence was developed for the preparation of 2,3-dihydro-4-(1H)-quinolinones by a Michael addition-SNAr reaction sequence. The steric environment of the Michael terminus ...
Computational studies of molybdenum oxide clusters and environmental corrosion of iron and zinc
(2014-07)
This dissertation describes two creative activities. The first is a computational study of molybdenum oxide clusters and the other is an experimental study of the corrosion of metals. The first effort covers three topics. ...
Exploration and characterization of new synthesis methods for C60 colloidal suspensions in water
(2014-05)
Buckminsterfullerene, C60, has been used in the production of several commercial products from badminton racquets and lubricants for their mechanical properties to cosmetics and even dietary supplements for their "antioxidant" ...
Polymer Colloids for Catalysis in Fluorous Media and for Colloidal Crystalline ArraysPolymer colloids for catalysis in fluorous media and for colloidal crystalline arrays
(2009-05)
Scope and Method of Study: Monodisperse charged polymer colloids in aqueous and non-aqueous dispersions have potential applications as membranes and catalysts. We chose poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer particles for the ...

Preparation and characterization of perfluorooctane sulfonate-intercalated single-walled carbon nanotube ropes and clay-composites
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of the first project was to study the anionic intercalation reactions of single walled carbon nanotubes with perfluorooctane sulfonate, and the dispersion of intercalated single walled ...
Genetic algorithms for feature selection and classification of complex chromatographic and spectroscopic data
(2012-12)
A basic methodology for analyzing large multivariate chemical data sets based on feature selection is proposed. Each chromatogram or spectrum is represented as a point in a high dimensional measurement space. A genetic ...
