Synthesis of gold nanoparticle surfactants and their self-assembly at oil-water interfaces

Creator:: Truong, Mitchell
Abstract:: Amphiphilic gold nanoparticle surfactants can self-assemble at oil-water interfaces to form stable Pickering emulsions. These nanoparticle surfactants have previously been synthesized by functionalizing gold nanoparticles with thiol terminated polyethylene glycol (PEG-thiol), and subsequently with an alkane-thiol. It is necessary to improve the bio-compatibility of the nanoparticles if they are to...

The Design of SWEsters Mentorship Program for First-Year Engineering Student Success

Creator:: Thompson, Tatiana A.
Abstract:: In order to support first-year women in engineering, a program was designed to help their transition to college and promote connection with other women. The program focused on three main areas based in research: mentor matching with mentee input, regular formal meetings in small mentoring groups, and the formation of...

Solvent and Dispersion Effects on the Hydrodeoxygenation of Acetic Acid on a Pd(111) Model Surface

Creator:: Rebarchik, Michael A.
Abstract:: Increased dependence on fossil fuels and concerns of anthropogenic climate change have led to increased interest in alternative energy sources. Liquid fuels derived from renewable raw materials have gained attention in recent years due to their similarity to petroleum-based fuels. Biofuels derived through hydrodeoxygenation have been found to be one...

Surface Structure Sensitivity to Fuel Adsorption on Pt(111) and Pt(100) and Carbon-Oxygen Bond Breakage at the Anode of a Direct Dimethyl Ether Fuel Cell

Creator:: Schneider-Coppolino, Merissa
Abstract:: As conventional energy sources begin to deplete, the need for alternative, renewable energy becomes more necessary. Dimethyl ether (DME) fuel cells are a promising energy source that could fulfill these demands. Compared to well-known fuel cell fuels, such as methanol, DME has a low toxicity and high energy density. Experimental...

Environmental Transformations of Nanoparticles in Natural Water Systems using a Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Dye Assay

Creator:: Turnquist, Macklin C.
Abstract:: Nanoparticles (NPs) are generally defined as particles <100 nanometers (nm) in size in one dimension. Despite increasing industrial usage of TiO2 NPs in sunscreens, cosmetics, and water remediation little is known of their environmental behavior. The primary goal of this research was to develop a rapid method for determining the...

Comparing the autoignition performance of chemical kinetic models for toluene using data extracted from the literature

Creator:: Mayer, Morgan
Abstract:: Real transportation fuels contain a wide range of hydrocarbon species, and this complexity poses challenges for modeling. Surrogates with a simpler blend of hydrocarbon reference fuels can approximate the physical and chemical characteristics of real fuels and enable practical simulation of the reacting flows that occur in engines and combustors....

Optimizing Methods to Assess Nanoparticle Biodistribution in Embryonic Zebrafish

Creator:: Pfarr, Shaylin H.
Abstract:: As nanoparticle (NP) research and development expands, the significance of NP biodistribution effects on toxicity increases. A reliable method for measuring NP biodistribution is critical. Hyperspectral Imaging (HSI) is capable of accurately quantitating NP biodistribution within embryonic zebrafish with incredibly high precision. Before HSI processing, the embryo must be sectioned...

Comparison of Experimentally-determined and Model-estimated Attachment Efficiency for Predicting Nanoparticle Aggregation

Creator:: Kennard, Jasmin J.
Abstract:: The widespread use of engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) in industrial applications and consumer products makes their release to the environment inevitable. Understanding the aggregation behavior of ENPs is crucial to understanding their fate, transport and toxicology in aquatic systems. This study investigated the comparability of experimentally-determined and model-estimated attachment efficiencies for...

Carbon degradation and kinetics in a vanadium (4/5) electrolyte

Creator:: Cross, Nicholas
Abstract:: The advancement of the US energy grid is a necessary task to undertake as renewable energies like wind and solar power become more and more prevalent in our energy sector. However, due to uncontrollable factors such as wind speed and cloud cover, the intermittence of these energy sources continues to...
