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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Investigation of portable nuclear power systems
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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
(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 ...
