Determination of filming and alkalizing amines using LC-MS and the influence of these amines on ion exchange resin properties
(2017-07)
In steam turbine power plants, filming amines are injected into the steam header to coat and protect pipe surfaces against corrosion. Alkalizing amines are added to the boiler feed water to control pH of the condensate in ...
Development of superhydrophobicity in silane treated diatomaceous earth and polymer coatings
(2016-12)
This dissertation describes the development of superhydrophobicity in fluorosilane treated diatomaceous earth (DE) particles and polymer coatings. The amount of silane coupling agent on the surface of DE particles has been ...
Silica- and organic polymer-based monolithic stationary phases for modern liquid phase separations
(2008-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The aim of the study was, firstly, to introduce novel polar silica-based and acrylate-based monolithic columns for normal phase chromatography (NPC) and electrochromatography of biomolecules and ...
Reactive azolyl intermediates: Generation via photocatalysis and synthetic utility
(2017-12)
We have conducted a systematic study of photocatalyst-mediated electron transfer from amines to 2-haloazoles with a particular interest in the nature, reactivity, and utility of the intermediates that can be generated. ...
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 ...
