Development and design of nanomaterial reagents in conjunction with new methods for their synthetic applications
(2014-07)
This Ph.D. deals with the integration of nanotechnology with organometallic/ organic synthetic technologies. The first part of this research sought to develop a library of novel molecular gears programmed to exploit ...
Modular synthesis of amphiphilic networks with guest-host capabilities
(2015-05)
Herein is described a controlled modular method for nanoscopic polymer network synthesis. Nodal points, such as cyclodextrins, are well defined, as are the cross-linking tie chains (e.g. polyethylene oxide), which are of ...
Synthetic, structural, spectroscopic, catalytic and mechanistic studies of palladium complexes with bidentate carbene ligands
(2011-05)
Scope and Method of Study:
Fabrication of nanometric metal sulfides from xanthate precursors
(2007-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The objective of this research was the development of new chemical routes for the synthesis of nanoscale metal sulfides and metal oxides. This was accomplished by investigating a family of materials ...
Oxidative behavior and thermal stability of C60 colloidal suspensions in water and C60/gamma-cyclodextrin polymer networks
(2014-12)
Since its discovery in 1985, buckminsterfullerene (C60) has been extensively studied due to its unique properties and it's now being produced in multi-ton quantities. The ability to form stable aqueous C60 colloids (known ...
Computational investigation of the effect of spin-crossing on the dissociation of chloro- and dichlorobenzene on the silicon (100) surface and the mechanical and electronic properties of cobalt doped zinc oxide
(2017-07)
The adsorption and dissociation of chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzene on the Si(100) surface was modeled using hydrogen terminated silicon clusters within the density functional theory framework. Using single dimer to much ...
Variable selection to improve classification in structure-activity studies and spectroscopic analysis
(2016-05)
A genetic algorithm for variable selection to improve classifications is explored and validated on a wide range of data. In one study, 147 tetralin and indan musks and nonmusks compiled from the literature for the purpose ...
