  • Controlling SIBLING protein orientation and conformation via native binding interactions 

    Zurick, Kevin M., 1987- (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 ...
  • Electrospinning of sulfobetaine methacrylate nanofibers 

    Emerick, Erin (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 

    Wang, Qinyi (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 ...
  • Gas adsorption on highly-purified magnesium oxide 

    Li, Pengcheng (Chemical engineer) (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 ...
  • Investigation of portable nuclear power systems 

    O'Donnell, Eugene F. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Energy needs for modern society are an ever-changing and complex problem. One of the most diverse areas of energy needs is portable energy generation. ...
  • Multifunctional polyampholyte hydrogels with a 3-D channel as tissue regeneration scaffold 

    Liu, Tianyi (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 . ...
  • Nonfouling polyampholyte polymer brushes with protein conjugation capacity 

    Tah, Tapashree (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 ...
  • Sibling proteins and their influence on collagen-i fibrillogenesis and denaturation 

    Jiang, Chengyu (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, ...
  • Theoretical evaluations of small-scale nuclear power systems 

    Pace, Anthony R. (Anthony Ross) (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 ...
  • Understanding the behavior of three component polyampholyte hydrogels for tissue engineering applications 

    Cao, Siyu (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 ...
