Catalytic conversion of glycerol and sugar alcohols to value-added products
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
The current research is based on developing an improved and fundamental understanding of technology that will allow the conversion of this crude glycerin to a propylene glycol based antifreeze product. Hydrogenolysis of ...
Fabrication and optimization of three-dimensional metamaterials for terahertz energy-harvesting
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
Metamaterials typically consist of metallic and dielectric repeating structures. Electrodeposition of copper is the preferred approach to fabricating the metallic part of the metamaterials of interest in this study. The ...
Photocatalytic antimicrobial coating for food contact surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Food-borne diseases cause approximately 9.4 million illnesses each year in the United States, while globally, these diseases cause approximately 600 million cases of illness and [approximately] 420,000 deaths. Food contact ...
Polyurethenae foams and engineering education
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Thermal conductivity [subscript] of a rigid polyurethane (PU) foam was successfully simulated, during which the impact of index of isocyanate, mixing ...
Peptide Amphiphile micelles (pams)-biomolecular materials capeble of modulating the immune system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
prevents peptides from reaching their desired target and carrying out their desired performance. This dissertation focuses on utilizing peptide amphiphile micelles (PAMs), a type of professional delivery vehicle that has been used to enhance peptide...
Engineering novel biomolecular materials for therapeutic peptide payload delivery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
-related deaths. The currently available clinical treatments, including chemotherapy and antibody therapy, are inadequate due to the high mortality rate and deleterious side effects of treatment. New peptide drug candidates in development are poised to address...
