Design and Evaluation of HIV Microbicides Loaded mucoadhesive Nanoformulation
(2015)
HIV/AIDS had caused more than 25 million deaths since it was first recognized.
Women are more susceptible to HIV infection in comparison with men due to human
physiology, social, economic disadvantages. To protect women ...
Preparation, Characterization and Performance Study of Modified Titanium Dioxide Nanocrystals for the Lithium-Ion Battery
(2015-08-04)
The lithium-ion battery is one of the most widely used rechargeable batteries in
today’s life. As an energy storage device, it can convert the stored chemical energy into
electrical energy when it is being used. Titanium ...
The Study of Initiation Systems and Formulations for the Development of a Novel Silorane Biomaterial
(2015)
There are approximately one million hip and knee replacements each year in the
United States alone and over 70% are cemented for stabilization. The number of these
replacements is expected to rise to 3.5 million per year ...
Studies of Conjugated Small Molecules, Polymers and Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials for Photovoltaic Applications
(2015)
This dissertation focuses on the photophysical properties and device studies of three different types of materials, namely polyoxometalate (POM)-containing organic-inorganic hybrids, near-IR absorbing conjugated polymers ...
Refinement and Applications of Light Controlled Biological Processes
(University of Missouri–Kansas City, 2015)
For understanding of biological processes, a spatiotemporal control over these processes is needed. Controlling these processes using light can give us the advantage of a precise control over spacing, timing and degree of ...
Recent Advances in Indole Aryne Cycloaddition Chemistry. Part I: Total Synthesis of (±)-cis-Trikentrin B. Part II: Investigation into the Regioselectivity of 6,7-Indole Aryne Cycloadditions. Part III: Synthesis and Reactions of Novel Tribromoindoles
(2015)
Since their discovery in the Buszek laboratories in 2007, the indole arynes and their cycloaddition chemistry has demonstrated its significance in achieving the total synthesis of biologically active indole alkaloid natural ...
Part I: Effect of Nanomicelle Size on Trans-scleral Permeability of Dexamethasone and Part II: Strategies to Minimize Octreotide Acylation during Sustained Release from Biodegradable Polymers
(2015-06-19)
Our primary aim was to determine the effect of nanomicelle size on dexamethasone (DEX) transport across the sclera. Nanomicelles of various sizes were developed and characterized.
Low molecular weight diblock co-polymers, ...
Transporter-Targeted Prodrug Delivery to Improve Oral Bioavailability of Saquinavir
(2015-05-22)
Saquinavir (SQV) is the first antiretroviral protease inhibitor approved by Food and
Drug Administration in the United States for the treatment of HIV infection due to its
potent anti-HIV activity. However, some unfavorable ...
Topical Clear Aqueous Nanomicellar Formulations For Anterior And Posterior Ocular Drug Delivery
(2015-08-04)
The objective of this study was to develop a clear, aqueous drug loaded
nanomicellar formulation (NMF) for the back-of-the-eye delivery. Hydrophobic
drugs such as cyclosporine, resolvin analog (RX-10045), dexamethasone ...

In Pursuit of Extraordinarily Twisted Acenes
(2015-05-26)
Longitudinally twisted acenes are a topologically interesting class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and it could be argued that they have quite beautiful chemical structures, too. X-ray crystal analysis of many ...
