  • Hydrogen production via a sulfur-sulfur thermochemical water-splitting cycle

    Creator:
    AuYeung, Nicholas J.
    Abstract:
    Thermochemical water splitting cycles have been conceptualized and researched for over half a century, yet to this day none are commercially viable. The heavily studied Sulfur-Iodine cycle has been stalled in the early development stage due to a difficult HI-H₂O separation step and material compatibility issues. In an effort to...

  • Degradation of graphite electrodes in acidic bromine electrolytes

    Creator:
    Bistrika, Alexander A.
    Abstract:
    As the world's power needs grow, the demand for power from renewable resources, such as wind or solar is increasing. One major drawback associated with these renewable resources is that the power output is dependent on environmental factors, such as cloud cover and wind speeds. This allows the possibility of...

  • Human platelet adhesion to heparinized silica surfaces

    Creator:
    Bolsinger, Travis Samuel Sebastian
    Abstract:
    Heparin was modified and immobilized to surface-activated silica surfaces using two different reaction schemes. End-aminated heparin was reacted with 2-iminothiolane to produce free thiol groups at the terminal ends of the heparin chains. The end-thiolated heparin was immobilized by reaction with a pyridyl disulfide activated poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] triblock...

  • Aging and performance evaluation of marine antifouling coatings

    Creator:
    Bunn, Malachi D.
    Abstract:
    Marine biofouling is a major problem in many industries. Shipping has been afflicted with reduced vessel speed and hindered maneuverability due to organisms attaching since the dawn of sailing. To date, the primary method developed to prevent fouling is the application of biocide laden coatings with various release mechanisms. Mass...
