Catalysts for the hydrolysis of thiophosphate triesters
(Texas A&M University, 2005-02-17)The degradation of phosphate triesters is efficiently catalyzed by organophosphate hydrolases (OPH). While a number of recent studies have focused on optimizing the rate of hydrolysis observed with the native enzyme, no ... -
Constitutive modeling for biodegradable polymers for application in endovascular stents
(Texas A&M University, 2008-10-10)Percutaneous transluminal balloon angioplasty followed by drug-eluting stent implantation has been of great benefit in coronary applications, whereas in peripheral applications, success rates remain low. Analysis of healing ... -
Development and Characterization of Novel Biomaterials for Fabrication of Multilayered Vascular Grafts
(2013-12-05)Current synthetic alternatives to autologous grafts have often failed in small diameter applications (<6 mm) due to their thrombogenicity and compliance mismatch of native vasculature. No known synthetic material is capable ... -
Fundamental study of structural features affecting enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass
(Texas A&M University, 2006-10-30)Lignocellulose is a promising and valuable alternative energy source. Native lignocellulosic biomass has limited accessibility to cellulase enzyme due to structural features; therefore, pretreatment is an essential ... -
Lime pretreatment and enzymatic hydrolysis of corn stover
(Texas A&M University, 2005-08-29)Renewable energy sources, such as lignocellulosic biomass, are environmentally friendly because they emit less pollution without contributing net carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. Among lignocellulosic biomass, corn stover ...
