Characterizing and understanding self-assembling, nanocapsule host-guest systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Supramolecular, self-assembled nanocapsules have been shown to be capable of entrapping fluorescent guests. Previous solid- and solution-state research, focusing on hydrogen-bonded C-alkylpyrogallol[4]arenes (PgC6)nanocapsules, ... -
Comparison of hyperbranched and dendritic polymers with fluorescent reporter molecules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Hyperbranched polymers containing a core region are a relatively new class of polymers with many similarities to dendrimers, including their proposed ... -
Core-based hyperbranched polyethyleneimine coating in capillary electrophoresis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)In capillary electrophoresis (CE), chemical and dynamic modification of a fused silica surface can be used to control the electroosmotic flow (EOF), to minimize the interaction of analytes with the capillary surface and ... -
Probing supramolecular assemblies via fluorescent reporter molecules
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)Supramolecular, self-assembled nanocapsules have shown the capability to encapsulate organic guests. Since most of the work was done previously in the solid state, the novelty of this research was its focus on probing ... -
Spectroscopic investigations of acrylodan dye interactions with poly(amidoamine) and poly(propyleneimine) dendrimers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The novel molecular architecture of dendrimers facilitates use in many applications. Using the solvatochromic probe phenol blue, the first direct ... -
Spectroscopic investigations of dendritic polymers as molecular containers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Previous research has shown the fluorescent probe phenol blue will associate with the dendritic polymers polypropyleneimine (PPI) and polyamidoamine ...
