Deep eutectic solvents : investigation of solvent structure and its applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Deep eutectic solvents (DESs) represent an alternative class of ionic fluids closely resembling room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), they are ... -
Economical synthesis of carbon nanoparticles
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)One of the core values of a capitalistic market is cost efficiency which is tried and true even in cursed with discovering and developing materials as inexpensive as possible. Now, this is for a multitude of reasons but ... -
An evaluation of the need for critically refined purification procedures in fluorescent carbon dot syntheses : the ramifications of the ubiquitous presence of reaction by-products on quenchometric and light harvesting applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)Fluorescent carbon dots constitute a novel and intriguing class of nanocarbons that display unique optical properties and can be purportedly generated from virtually any carbon-containing source. For example, the thermal ... -
The investigation of the self-assemblies of pyrogallol [4] arenes with large metal ions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Supramolecular chemistry involves the study of the non-covalent interactions between molecules. Host molecules such as C-pyrogallol[4]arenes form complexes via these supramolecular interactions. Pyrogallol[4]arenes are ... -
Investigation of the thermostability and activity of biomolecules in bio-friendly deep eutectic solvents
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)The solvent environment of a biomolecule is critical to its optimal performance in various scenarios, including biocatalysis, drug delivery, therapeutics, and biosensing. This dissertation mainly discusses the implementation ... -
Novel syntheses and behavior of precious metal nanoparticles
