  • Molecular origins of peptide entrapment in polyethylene oxide layers

    Creator:
    Wu, Xiangming
    Abstract:
    A more quantitative understanding of peptide entrapment and elution from otherwise protein-repellent polyethylene oxide (PEO) brush layers will provide direction for development of new strategies for drug storage and delivery. Here we describe criteria for peptide integration and structural change within the PEO brush, and discuss the reversibility of peptide...

  • A Graph Grammar Representation of Metal-Organic Frameworks for Computational Synthesis and Exploration

    Creator:
    Geringer, Mark K.
    Abstract:
    In this work, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are computationally represented, generated, and evaluated. The organic linker molecules are represented as graphs and use graph grammars where the atoms are represented by nodes and the bonds are represented by arcs. The grammar rules that dictate the graph generation process work on the...

  • Bacterial hydrophobicity : assessment techniques, applications and extension to colloids

    Creator:
    Saini, Gaurav
    Abstract:
    This research details laboratory assessment of bacterial hydrophobicity, variations in bacterial adhesion properties with growth and extended starvation as well as extension of this assay to colloidal hydrophobicity measurement. Hydrophobicity is an integral component of surface interactions and has been studied extensively for its role in a number of engineering...
