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" ...
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 ...
Water can increase zeolite catalyst reactivity
(2017-05)
Historically, water is considered to reduce activity in zeolite-based hydrocarbon catalysis. Currently, there exists widespread interest in understanding synergistic impacts of water in catalytic transformation of ...
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:
Polymer adsorption on silica and wettability of graphene oxide surfaces, experiments and simulations
(2016-05)
Among the various classifications of polymer composites, studying polymers adsorbed to a surface such as silica is important due to their numerous applications. Adsorbed polymers usually show different properties than their ...
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 ...
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 ...
