Developing Nucleic Acid-Based Tools for Precision Medicine
(2019-07-23)
Nucleic acid aptamers are new therapeutic tools that are growing in use in the bionanotechnology field. Understanding their behavior and engineering their structure is desirable for many applications due to unique advantages ...
Optimization and Investigation of SO2 Adsorption Process for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Cathode Protection
(2017-04-25)
Gas-phase contaminant removal is a critical process for power supply systems (e.g. fuel cells and gas turbines). Because of high-energy efficiency, low emissions, and fuel flexibility, Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs) are ...
Directed Self-Assembly of Tethered Membranes on Nanoparticles
(2018-04-30)
Nanoparticles have demonstrated success in overcoming many barriers of therapeutic delivery. The advantages of these systems include increased drug loading, an ability to package poorly soluble and/or highly toxic drugs, ...
Effect of Carbon Supports on Supercritical Hexane Mediated, Fe-Catalyzed Fischer-Tropsch Synthesis
(2017-12-01)
The Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) process consists of surface-catalyzed reactions that
collectively convert syngas into hydrocarbons, oxygenates, CO2, water, and heat. In this work, five Fe-based,
carbon-supported ...
