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...

Creator:: Chiu, Dick
Abstract:: Zinc Sulfide (ZnS) thin film, with a wide band gap, has been used for many applications, such as buffer layer for CIGS solar cells, light emitting diodes and thin film electroluminescent devices. In this work, ZnS thin films were prepared using two different deposition processes. In the first method, ZnS...

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...

Creator:: Yang, Ping
Abstract:: Pesticides benefit agriculture by increasing crop yield, quality, and security. However, pesticides may inadvertently harm bees, which are valuable as pollinators. Thus, candidate pesticides in development pipelines must be assessed for toxicity to bees. Leveraging a data set of 382 molecules with toxicity labels from honey bee exposure experiments, we...

Creator:: Ryder, Matthew P.
Abstract:: Passage of blood through a sorbent device for removal of bacteria and endotoxin by specific binding with immobilized, membrane-active, bactericidal peptides holds promise for treating severe blood infections. Peptide insertion in the target membrane and stable binding is desirable, while membrane disruption and release of degradation products to the circulating...

Creator:: Sprowl, Lynza H.
Abstract:: The interactions of chemical species with a solid surface play a role in many everyday applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, corrosion, and degradation reactions. Understanding the reaction kinetics and thermodynamics via rate constants and equilibrium constants, which require knowledge of the adsorbed species’ entropy, is essential for tuning these surface...

Creator:: Frederick, Ryan T.
Abstract:: Metal oxide clusters are promising inorganic photoresists in next generation nanomanufacturing because of their potential for high-resolution and low line-edge roughness patterning, and exceptional sensitivity to extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation. In EUV patterning, absorption of EUV radiation leads to electron emission that serve as a primary species for driving radiation...
