The kinetics of non-catalyzed supercritical water reforming of ethanol
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
feed rate was varied between 6.4 g/min and 19.7 g/min, the ethanol feed rate was varied between 0.17 g/min and 2.2 g/min, and the pressure was fixed at 24.2 MPa. All ethanol fed was converted into gaseous products: hydrogen, carbon dioxide, methane...
Peptide Amphiphile micelles (pams)-biomolecular materials capeble of modulating the immune system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
activation (Chapters 4 and 5) and immune suppression (Chapter 6). The third chapter is adapted from my publication in ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering. In the next two chapters, I incorporated two different adjuvants (i.e. Pam[subscript]2C -- Chapter 4...
Developing new techniques to synthesize layered cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
. The specific discharge capacity retention of LR1 at 1C between 2 and 4.8 V was more than 100% after 100 cycles. Further improvements to LR1 cathode materials have led to an increase in the initial discharge capacity to 248 mAh/g at 0.1C. This is achieved...
Engineering novel biomolecular materials for therapeutic peptide payload delivery
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Hematological cancers, including leukemia and lymphoma, are estimated to cause the death of 58,000 people in the United States in 2018 and account for ...
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 surfaces, such as food...
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 ...
