Polyolefin blend miscibility: Quantitative investigations of dynamic heterogeneity
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study: Using advanced solid-state NMR to study the microscopic interactions of amorphous polymer blends and the influences of each component to the dynamic heterogeneity of those miscible blends.
Polymer functionalized single-walled carbon nanotube composites and semi-fluorinated quaternary ammonium polymer colloids and coatings
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study: Current study focused on understanding of "wetting" and "dewetting" phenomena between surfaces of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) which are lightly grafted with polymer chains by ...
Simultaneous spectrophotometric and chemometric determination of cholesterol and mono-/polyunsaturated fatty acids
(2012-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The ultimate goal of this research project was to complete the development of a simple, direct alternative method for the simultaneous quantitative determination of cholesterol and polyunsaturated ...
Tailoring of polymer-nanomaterial interactions
(2012-12)
Scope and Method of Study: The purpose of this research work is to investigate polymer nanomaterial interaction to understand the properties of the polymer nanocomposites. The first part of the dissertation explored 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 ...
Validation and application of the Purdie assay in the analyses of the major polyunsaturated fatty acids
(2012-07)
Scope and Method of Study:
