Lead(II) Extraction with Electrospun Spiropyran Functionalized PMMA Nanofibers

Creator:: Fuchs, Brian K.
Abstract:: A system to reversibly extract Pb²⁺ ions from aqueous solutions using spiropyran functionalized nanofibers was proposed. Spiropyrans are photochromic compounds which undergo a conformational change that alters their physical properties and makes Pb²⁺ binding possible upon irradiation with UV light (365 nm). Irradiation with green light (525 nm) reverses this...

Synthesis and function of bioactive, block copolymer surfactant constructs as relevant to the preparation of anticoagulant and antibacterial medical implant surfaces.

Creator:: Joshi, Pranav R.
Abstract:: Nisin, an antibacterial peptide proven to be an effective inhibitor of Gram-positive bacteria, was incorporated into novel block copolymer constructs and tested for retained antibacterial activity. Covalent coupling was achieved by chemical modification of the N-terminal isoleucine to introduce a thiol group. Thiolated nisin derivatives were then linked to poly[ethylene...

Nisin adsorption to PEO-PPO-PEO tri-block copolymer layers and its resistance to elution by fibrinogen

Creator:: Ryder, Matthew P.
Abstract:: While hydrophobic surfaces coated with the poly[ethylene oxide]-poly[propylene oxide]-poly[ethylene oxide] (PEO-PPO-PEO) surfactant Pluronic® F108 are highly resistant to plasma protein adsorption, the antimicrobial peptide nisin has been observed to adsorb in multilayer quantities at such surfaces, and the PEO chains themselves suggested to inhibit nisin exchange by blood proteins. But...

A force plate for measuring contact forces during dependent transfers onboard aircraft

Creator:: Schafer, Christopher A.
Abstract:: The transfer of air travelers with disabilities between a mobility aid and an aircraft seat is a major source of injury for both the travelers and the airline personnel assisting in the transfer. The risk to both parties might be reduced through the biomechanical study of the transfer task. Such...

Preliminary study on the effect of pH on the treatment of lead contaminated wastewaters with ozone

Creator:: Adolf, Ronald L.
Abstract:: Ozone was found to quickly reduce the concentration of lead in a prepared solution when the solution pH of said solution was greater than 7.0. When a solution having a pH of greater than 7.0 was filtered the concentration of lead was less than approximately 1.0 ppm. 1.0 ppm is...

Development of new high-temperature piezoelectric perovskite ceramics

Creator:: Ansell, Troy Youngmin
Abstract:: Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) is the dominant ferroelectric material in the market due to its excellent piezoelectric properties, relatively high Curie transition temperature (T[subscript C]), low cost, etc. However, because of emerging applications with requirements for high temperature (T[subscript C] > 400 °C) ferroelectrics, researchers are increasingly looking at alternative...

Squeeze-off & gel patch repair methods for polyethylene pipe in natural gas distribution lines

Creator:: Harris, Kevin E.
Abstract:: The natural gas industry has become essential in many areas in the United States. Currently there is over 37.5 million miles of natural gas distribution lines. A large majority of these lines are polyethylene pipes. With such a large percentage of polyethylene lines in use gas companies are continually looking...

Heat transport at interface in the metal-organic-frameworks MOF-5

Creator:: Huang, Wenxi
Abstract:: The metal-organic–framework MOF-5 is used as an adsorbent in advanced systems for vehicular hydrogen storage that are currently under development. Presently, these systems are limited by poor thermal conductivity of the adsorption bed, and thus our research addresses how the interfaces between grains of MOF-5 can be engineered to improve...

Investigations of gluten proteins from functional and historical perspective

Creator:: Zhang, Ying
Abstract:: Wheat (Triticum aestivum) is one of the world’s major staple food crops, with flour produced from starchy endosperm being used for breads, cakes, noodles and various other wheat-based foods. The unique bread making properties of wheat are primarily attributed to its gluten-forming storage proteins: gliadins and glutenins. This study investigated...
