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.
Elucidation and quantification of the decomposition products of sodium dithionite and the detection of peroxide vapors with thin films
(2014-07)
Sodium dithionite (Na2S2O4) is an oxidizable sulfur oxyanion often employed as a reducing agent in environmental and synthetic chemistry. When exposed to the atmosphere, dithionite degrades through a series of decomposition ...
Rational synthesis and properties of new long-chain linear oligomeric germanium compounds
(2014-05)
Germanium compounds with single germanium-germanium bonds contain interesting optical and electronic properties such as absorption within the UV/visible range and conductivity, which can also be seen in other heavier Group ...
New tandem reactions involving nucleophilic aromatic substitution
(2011-05)
Scope and Method of Study: The synthesis of 6-nitro-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline-4-carboxylic esters and 7-nitro-3,4-dihydroquinoxaline-1(2H)-carboxylic esters employing a tandem reductive amination-SNAr reaction is described. ...
Synthetic strategies for generating inorganic nanoparticles with optical, catalytic, and biological importance
(2017-12)
Solution-based synthesis methods have been widely used to synthesize nanocrystals as it provides control over the size and shape. As a result of the rapid success of the solution based synthesis methods, new applications ...
Fabrication, swelling, and biological properties of surface-patterned hydrogels based on poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)
(2018-12)
Hydrogels are networks of hydrophilic polymers which can retain large amounts of water. Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) [poly(HEMA)] is a synthetic hydrogel well known for various biomedical applications due to excellent ...
