Creator:: Maqsood, Elham Nour Ahmad
Abstract:: The primary purpose of the present study is to explore the effect of wearing the hijab in a Western society on Muslim women’s well-being, their motivation to wear it, and the different modifications that they have made on their hijabs. To investigate the relationship between the hijab and Muslim women’s...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Sturluson, Arni
Abstract:: Uses for materials with a large surface area and high porosity have grown sig-niﬁcantly in recent years. Porous materials have found usage in applications such as separation, gas storage, sensing, puriﬁcation and more, prompting researchers to ﬁnd and discover numerous new porous materials to suit a speciﬁc purpose. Hundreds of...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Faase, Ryan A.
Abstract:: Nanoparticles have become more prevalent from their use in sunscreen to antimicrobial agents in socks. In light of these applications, gaining a fundamental understanding of how NPs interact with humans is crucial for their future. Specifically, how cells interact with NPs and what factors drive the modes of cellular uptake....
Resource Type:: Masters Thesis

Creator:: Sumantakul, Saichon
Abstract:: The concept of reducing laboratory operations into microfluidic devices has been an attractive area of research for several decades. Due to several advantages of porous-media microfluidic devices including low mass, portability, power-free fluid transport, and the ability to store dried reagents in the porous structures, these devices show great promise...

Creator:: Flynn, Brendan T.
Abstract:: Advances in energy technologies and electronics have typically occurred through either heightened performance or cost reduction. This dissertation explores both routes through a series of fundamental material studies that may contribute to the enabling of next generation devices. Solution based syntheses and deposition of chemical products offer a low cost...

Creator:: Faase, Ryan A.
Abstract:: The work presented in this dissertation highlights the various techniques available to characterize the increasingly complex surfaces of engineered biomaterials. The methods used range from the simple measurement of a contact angle with a smartphone to a complex synchrotron technique like near edge x-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy to...
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Creator:: Crandon, Lauren E.
Abstract:: Nanoparticles (NPs), defined by their size (1-100 nm), are increasingly incorporated into commercial and industrial products due to their high surface area and unique properties. They can be designed for specific applications by manipulating composition, size, shape, and surface functionalization. As NP production and complexity increases, there is a need...
