Electrospinning of sulfobetaine methacrylate nanofibers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Sulfobetaine methacrylate (SBMA) is a zwitterionic polymer that has been shown to have nonfouling properties. This resistance to nonspecific protein ...
Electrospinning polyampholyte nanofiber membranes
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The elimination of nonspecific protein adsorption is an important challenge in many biomaterial applications. To address this issue, numerous nonfouling ...
Nonfouling polyampholyte polymer brushes with protein conjugation capacity
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The elimination of nonspecific protein adsorption is a very important challenge in many biomaterial applications. This work reports on the multi-functional ...
Gas adsorption on highly-purified magnesium oxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] As one of the most commonly used materials, magnesium oxide (also known as magnesia or MgO) has many applications in the modern world because it is ...
Multifunctional polyampholyte hydrogels with a 3-D channel as tissue regeneration scaffold
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A major challenge in the biomedical field of biomaterials is the development of materials that resist nonspecific protein adsorption to the surface . ...
Controlling SIBLING protein orientation and conformation via native binding interactions
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Native bone tissue is comprised of a mixture of collagen, non-collagenous proteins, and hydroxyapatite (HA). The SIBLING (small integrin binding, N-linked glycoprotein) family of proteins is the primary group of non-collagenous ...
Theoretical evaluations of small-scale nuclear power systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Nuclear power is often frowned upon by the public because of a lack of an understanding of the technology. Nuclear power has been investigated thoroughly ...
Sibling proteins and their influence on collagen-i fibrillogenesis and denaturation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Native bone tissue is comprised of a mixture of collagen, non-collagenous proteins, and hydroxyapatite (HA). The SIBLING (small integrin binding, ...
Understanding the behavior of three component polyampholyte hydrogels for tissue engineering applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The development of materials with nonfouling characteristics and good mechanical properties has been a target in the tissue engineering field over the ...
