Boo, Woong Jae (Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)With the given information that dendrimers have precisely controlled their sizes and spherical structures in the molecular level, the aim of this study is to show that dendrimer particles can become ordered into a ...
-
Perez, Gregory Paul (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)We have investigated the chemical sensitivity of nanoporous (NP) alumina-coated surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices that have been surface-modified with polymeric mediating films. The research in this dissertation covers the ...
-
Ye, Heechang (2009-05-15)Dendrimer-encapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) were prepared, characterized, and immobilized on solid surfaces. The resulting films were applied as electrocatalysts for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). First, the synthesis, ...
-
Niu, Yanhui (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)The research in this dissertation examines the chemistry and applications of dendrimers in homogeneous catalysis. We examined interactions between dendrimers and charged probe molecules, prepared dendrimer-encapsulated ...
-
Shen, Jingyi (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)The correlation between NMR chemical shifts of interstitial atoms and electronic structures of boron- and carbon-centered hexazirconium halide clusters was investigated by density functional theory (DFT) calculation. The ...
-
Carr, Charles Shane (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Hierarchically ordered porous oxides have garnered much interest because of the numerous applications that can be developed from these materials. The catalytic properties, separation ability, and ion exchangeability of ...
-
Wu, Hung-Jen (Texas A&M University, 2006-08-16)In this dissertation, we describe a novel method that we call Diffusing Colloidal Probe Microscopy (DCPM), which integrates Total Internal Reflection Microscopy (TIRM) and Video Microscopy (VM) methods to monitor three ...
-
Dhopeshwarkar, Rahul Rajesh (2009-05-15)A simple and efficient technique for the concentration enrichment of charged species within a microfluidic device was developed. The functional component of the system is a hydrogel microplug photopolymerized inside the ...
-
Zhan, Wei (Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)We have investigated and implemented several general strategies in the development of microfluidics-based chemical/biochemical sensing systems. The research in this dissertation covers the immobilization of biological ...

Crooks, Richard M.; Sun, Li (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 2006-07-18)According to one embodiment an apparatus includes a membrane and at least a portion of a nanotube imbedded within the membrane. The portion of the nanotube imbedded within the membrane provides a conduit through the membrane.
-
Steffensen, Mackay Bagley (Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)Dendrimers are a unique class of macromolecules that present perfect branching on a molecular scale. The pattern of branching at the atomic scale is compared to the branching of trees, from whence dendrimers get their ...
-
Sacquety, Troy James (2009-05-15)The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), was created during the Second World War to be a central collector, producer, and disseminator of foreign intelligence. Its secondary role of clandestine warfare did not come easily. ...

Crooks, Richard M.; Kim, Taisun; Chan, Kwok-Chu; Schoer, Jonathan K. (United States. Patent and Trademark Office; Texas A&M University. Libraries, 1999-03-23)A self-assembled multilayer and in particular polymeric self-assembled multilayer can be effectively produced from two or more self-assembled monolayers on a substrate where each of the self-assembled monolayers is produced ...
-
Fernandes, Gregory (Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)In this research we illustrate how particle-particle and particle-substrate interactions affect structure in interfacial colloidal systems. A number of tools are used to quantify characteristics of deposited structures. ...
-
Wilson, Orla Mary (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The synthesis, characterization and structure-function relationships of mono- and bimetallic dendrimerencapsulated nanoparticles (DENs) are described. Control over the factors influencing the structure of bimetallic DENs ...
-
Holden, Matthew Alexander (Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)Herein is presented the collective experimental record of research performed in the Laboratory for Biological Surface Science. These investigations are generally classified under the category of bioanalytical surface ...
-
Kim, Yong-Gu (Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)We described the synthesis of multilayer organic thin films prepared by sequential vapor-phase coupling of monomers. The reactions were carried out at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Films prepared using up to ...
