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 ...
Sustainable chemical approaches to two-dimensional nanosheets and mesoporous platforms and catalysts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
compromising the basic needs of future generations. Nanotechnology, much like Green Chemistry, has revolutionized the fundamentals of all fields, serving as a classic example for emerging products in science and technologies. Despite significant achievements...
A study of bacterial cellulose confined ionic liquid and deep eutectic solvent gel materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI--COLUMBIA AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Pollutants have become more prevalent in the air, water, and ground, necessitating the development of technologies that would help, limit, ...
Polyionic nanoclays as tailorable hybrid organic-inorganic platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
We disclose the synthesis, characterization, and application of an imidazolium-based hybrid inorganic-organic layered magnesium phyllo(organo)silicate nanosheets, coined polyionic nanoclays (PINCs), as an emergent class ...
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 ...
