Enhancing methanol electro-oxidation by double oxide incorporation with platinum on carbon nanotubes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Electro-oxidation of methanol was investigated on platinum catalyst supported on a double oxide nanocomposite support of tin oxide and carbon-doped titanium dioxide. The Pt-SnO2-C-/CNTs electro catalyst demonstrated about ...
Large-scale fabrication of SiC nanofibers and plasma interface engineering of polymer nanocomposites and dental composite restoration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
was attributed to enhanced dispersion and interfacial adhesion observed visually and by electron microscopy. A non-thermal argon plasma brush treatment increased the micro-tensile strength of dental composite restorations. FTIR observed an increase in carbonyl...
Peptide Amphiphile micelles (pams)-biomolecular materials capeble of modulating the immune system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
physical properties and biological efficacy. This chapter is retrieved from my publication in the Journal of Bionanoscience. In the second chapter, I introduce ways to create higher order micellar structures through the inclusion of a zwitterion-like region...
Photocatalytic antimicrobial coating for food contact surfaces
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
can be applied on food contact surfaces. However, the global legal framework surrounding coatings for food contact surfaces necessitates that, in order to reach their full potential and application at food processing facilities, these coatings must...
Developing a novel method for making metal oxide nanocoatings for electrocatalysis applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
In this dissertation, a new and novel technique to synthesize conformal films of metal oxides on top of nanoscale substrates in different geometries such as carbon nanotubes, carbon black particles, and iron oxide nanoparticles ...
Peptide amphiphile micelles vaccines for cell-mediated immune response induction
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2019)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Vaccinology research looks to improve upon current formulations by enhancing their immunogenicity and safety. In the quest for an alternative solution, ...
Studying and developing the thin film membranes for reverse osmosis application
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Desalination by semi-permeable membranes is the most applicable method of water-salt separation, where reverse osmosis (RO) account for the major portion ...
The design of ultrafast routes to synthesis carbon nanotubes by microwave
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Carbon nanotubes are seamless cylinders of carbon skeletons with hexagonal honey comb structures. It also could be seen as the rolling of one or more ...
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 ...
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 ...
Mesoporous and nanostructured metal oxides for adsorptive water treatment
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)
Sewage containing a certain amount of dyes, when discharged into the environment, will cause serious problems and diseases to the human body and pose a threat to the ecosystem. In addition, waste from large animal farms, ...
Plasma treatment effects on resin-based tooth restoration improvements
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
surface morphology. To further explore the mechanism of bonding enhancement, the dental substrates surface chemistries information was scanned by FTIR and ATR-FTIR facilities. From our results, plasma treatment consistently increased the resin...
