Observing the Sedimentation of TiO2 Nanoparticles in Aqueous Solution Using a Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation Monitoring
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2016)
The development of a novel and less expensive approach to the quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation monitoring (QCM-D) is explored. Using a vector network analyzer (VNA) to measure harmonic ranges from the primary ...
The Effect of Thermal Annealing on Phase Separation in Organic Photovoltaic Films
(2015)
In our research, we used amplitude modulated atomic force microscopy to
study the effect of thermal annealing on the morphology of four recently developed
bulk heterojunction photovoltaic films. Each cell was fabricated ...
Photosensitivity and Magnetosensitivity of The Drosophila Circadian Clock
(2014)
The experiments in this thesis addressed whether magnetic fields can enhance entrainment (phase determination) of the circadian clock by light. The experiments were conducted using a species of small fruit flies, Drosophila ...
Using current sensing atomic force microscopy to study heterogeneous materials
(University of Missouri--Kansas City, 2012-08-27)
Two kinds of heterogeneous materials, block copolymer films and Nafion
membranes, are studied by using current sensing atomic force microscopy (CSAFM). In
the calculated results, correlation between surface morphology ...
Effective Surface Areas and Adsorption Capacity of Graphene with Vacancies
(2023)
Graphene has been heavily researched since Geim and Novosolov won the nobel prize in physics for its mechanical exfoliation from graphite. The atomically thin crystal of carbon atoms has been reported to have novel properties ...
An Efficient Heat Engine For Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion
(2022)
Carbon-dioxide-absorptive ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) holds the promise to provide 2-3 orders of magnitude more energy than current world consumption from fossil fuels, nuclear, hydroelectric, and all other ...
