Zhao, Jin (2010-01-14)A recently developed chemical vapor deposition (CVD) synthesis process called CoMoCAT yields single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT)s of controlled diameter and chirality, making them extremely attractive for technological ...
-
Rasmussen, John C. (2009-05-15)Herein we present the development of a fluorescence-enhanced, frequency-domain radiative transport reconstruction system designed for small animal optical tomography. The system includes a time-dependent data acquisition ...
-
Henry, James Edward (Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)The work described in this dissertation details the development of a biomimetic materials for use in sensors and therapeutics, based on new advances in material science. The sensors developed herein target neurodegenerative ...

Kinnibrugh Garcia, Karym G. (2011-08-08)The principal goal of this research is to achieve the chemical labeling and surface modification of block copolymer vesicles (polymersomes) made from amphiphilic diblock copolymer Poly(butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) (PBd120- ...
-
Liu, Ting (2012-07-16)Membrane separations provide a potentially attractive technology over conventional processes due to their advantages, such as low capital cost and energy consumption. The goal of this thesis is to design hybrid membranes ...
-
Yan, Zhen (2009-05-15)This dissertation is focused on understanding the structure-activity relationship in heterogeneous catalysis by studying model catalytic systems. The catalytic oxidation of CO was chosen as a model reaction for studies on ...
-
Ortiz-Acosta, Denisse (2009-05-15)Soluble polymers that have phase selective solubility are useful in synthesis because they simplify purification and separation. Such selectively soluble polymers simplify catalyst, reagent, and product recovery and enable ...
-
Zhang, Xi (2012-01-20)Nanoparticles (NPs) of different geometries, including 0-dimeansional (0-D) ZnO QDs, 1-D carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and 2-D α-zirconium phosphate nanoplatelets (ZrP), have been purified and dispersed in various media. The ...
-
Imam, Tahmina (2010-01-16)Efficient separation of target protein from impurities is crucial in bioseparation for large scale production and purity of the target protein. Two separation process approaches were considered in this study. The first ...
-
Garcia Vargas, Nataly (2012-11-05)Zeolites are crystalline inorganic solids that are industrially used for adsorption, ion exchange and catalysis. As catalysts, they have been particularly successful in the hydrocarbon processing industry due to their ...
-
Tian, Jianhua (2009-05-15)Soluble polymer supports facilitate the recovery and recycling of expensive transition metal complexes. Recently, polyisobutylene (PIB) oligomers have been found to be suitable polymer supports for the recovery of a variety ...
