Platinum nanoparticle-polyoxometalate based bimetallic catalyst for proton exchange membrane fuel cell and bipolar electrodeposition based combinatorial material library applied in sensors and energy systems 

Ramaswamy, Rajakumari (2012-05-01)
The first part of chapter 1 summarizes the reports on the improved oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) kinetics on Pt-bimetallic catalysts used in proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). An account on the significance of ...

A Preliminary Study on Enzyme Adhesion/Encapsulation within Janus Liposomes 

Chandler, Skyler (2025-02-17)  ETD File Embargoed
This thesis describes a research effort of encapsulating water-soluble enzymes within Janus liposomes, with aims to enhance the latter’s motion ability as micromotors. Janus particles have been of interest to the development ...

Reversible and Irreversible Light-Induced Reactions Initiated BY SPEEK/PVA Polymer Systems 

Dissanayaka, Radini Himashini (2021-04-13)
Illumination of sulfonated poly(ether etherketone), SPEEK, and polyvinyl alcohol, PVA, in the presence of thionine (Th) results in systems exhibiting reversible redox processes. Efficient reduction of thionine took place ...

Stable Colloidal Dispersions of Highly Concentrated Thermo-efficient Nanomaterials 

Hossain, Mohammad Sharif (2017-02-08)
Phase change materials (PCM) were utilized as solvents to synthesize small particles and stabilize them in those media in order to determine time independent thermal properties of nanostructure-enhanced phase change materials ...

Towards a Bistable Nucleic Acid-Directed Switch for Electrochemical Readout of Proximity Ligation Assays 

Ford, Katarena (2017-01-04)
The work presented in this thesis is focused on the development of a bistable DNA-driven assay formatted for biosensor applications in biological research, medical research, and an approach to point-of-care testing. We ...
