Brantley, Eric (2005-10-24)Department: Chemical EngineeringThe work presented herein focuses on the growth of poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate) (PHEMA) films on gold by water-accelerated, surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization and derivatization of these films with ...
-
Furtado, Amanda M. B. (2012-04-11)Department: Chemical EngineeringThis research addresses the synthesis and development of biphasic, nanoporous composite materials for use in single pass filters of various types for the removal of light acidic and basic gases from humid air. Potential ...
-
Hartig, Sean Michael (2006-11-20)Department: Chemical EngineeringThis study focused on creating water-based, targeted, nanoparticulate polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) drug delivery vehicles. The polymeric structure of PECs allowed for integration of an anti-angiogenic, heparin binding ...
-
Burst, James Michael (2010-08-02)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceThe materials, optical and electrical properties of transparent conducting tin oxide-based thin films are investigated, with particular emphasis on their application to photovoltaics. Thin films of transparent conducting ...

Marvel, Robert Edward (2016-01-19)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials ScienceThis dissertation examines the fundamental physical properties and material processing methods required to design and fabricate the next generation of optical modulators based on the vanadium dioxide metal-insulator ...
-
Deravi, Leila Fariba (2009-04-14)Department: ChemistryFor decades, researchers have been searching for alternative methods to ameliorate the rate of waste production and the cost of spending commonly associated with nanofabrication facilities across the world. Estimated to ...
-
Crisp, Jeffrey Allen (2009-06-10)Department: ChemistryThis work focuses on bis(indenyl) complexes of vanadium, chromium, manganese and iron. Specifically, spin-state manipulations of the complexes were attempted by the variation of ligand substituents in number, type, and ...
-
Chmely, Stephen Christopher (2010-08-11)Department: ChemistryThe effects of adding steric bulk to the ligands of main group organometallic complexes are examined in this dissertation. First, bulky allyl complexes of beryllium and magnesium, using the 1,3-bis(trimethylsilyl)allyl ...
-
Synthesis and structures of main group organometallic complexes with sterically bulky allyl ligands Gren, Cameron Karl (2009-07-25)Department: ChemistryThis work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of substituted allyl complexes of alkali metals and post-transition elements. The use of bulky trimethylsilyl substituents on the allyl ligands has afforded isolable ...
-
Gollub, Sarah Louise (2015-04-09)Department: Interdisciplinary Materials SciencePhosphors have been used for radiation detection before, but only for non-ionizing radiation. In fact, many phosphors are designed to be radiation-resistant so they can be used long-term and in harsh environments unaffected. ...

Moate, Joseph R. (2009-09-01)Department: Chemical EngineeringCHEMICAL AND BIOMOLECULAR ENGINEERING TEMPERATURE SWING ADSORPTION COMPRESSION AND MEMBRANE SEPARATIONS JOSEPH R. MOATE Dissertation under the direction of Professor M. Douglas LeVan The feasibility of the capture and ...
-
Blaine, Raymond Wesley (2014-04-29)Department: Electrical EngineeringModern systems-on-chip (SOCs) must incorporate high-performance analog and mixed-signal (A/MS) circuits with digital systems onto a single chip. This integration necessitates that these A/MS circuits be designed at advanced ...
-
Mitchell, Courtney Alexis (2016-08-09)Department: Chemical EngineeringVisible light therapy (400-700 nm), i.e. photodynamic therapy, phototherapy, etc. has been used experimentally and clinically for treatment in acne, cancer, wounds, jaundiced neonates and other ailments. In the wake of ...
