Technology for restarting molten salt nuclear fuel chemistry at MU
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
Nuclear fuel reprocessing is a responsible choice for the continued expansion of a secure, safe and clean source of energy. While the classical method for recycling nuclear fuel is an aqueous liquid-liquid extraction, the ...
Large-scale fabrication of SiC nanofibers and plasma interface engineering of polymer nanocomposites and dental composite restoration
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] SiC nanofibers in gram-scale per batch were synthesized by chemical vapor deposition. A systematic comparison of different sized graphite and multi-walled ...
Nanomaterial surface modification for heat-transfer nanofluid and electrochemical DNA biosensor development
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Low-temperature plasma polymerization was performed to coat the individual nanomaterial not only for better suspension but also for thermal conductivity ...
Bismuth induced embrittlement of a copper substrate
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Embrittlement of polycrystalline Cu by a liquid metal embitter species, such as Bi, is a well-documented phenomenon that is still relatively poorly ...
Ion-induced graphite radiation damage
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The fast particle radiation damage effect of graphite, a main material in current and future nuclear reactors, has significant influence on the utilization ...
Non-conformal transformations
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1907)
For many years conformal transformations have been studied. Riemann surfaces of many of them have been constructed and their principal properties have been discovered and examined in the study of the theory of functions ...
Investigation of supercritical fluids for use in biomass processing & carbon recycling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
An apparatus was built in the Mizzou Carbon Recycling Center to explore the continuous thermochemical conversion of biomass and model compounds in supercritical water. The apparatus was used to investigate gasification or ...
The continuous supercritical water gasification of spirulina and the use of a positive displacement feeding system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A factorial experiment was designed and conducted to explore the effect of three variables, concentration, temperature, and residence time, on two ...
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 ...
The design & construction of a proton microprobe using a GE PETtrace cyclotron
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
The interaction of fast neutrons with nuclear materials is a topic of fundamental interest in nuclear engineering. Fast neutrons possess the ability to degrade, and in some cases destroy, materials used in nuclear reactor ...
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 ...
