Title: Early Detection of Malaria Parasitic RNA Through an Amplification-Free Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Biosensor
Author: Blackwell, Ashley
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: Malaria retains its position as one of the most highly transferable diseases throughout the world today, with current efforts focused on controlling its spread. A sensitive, asymptomatic-stage detection method is needed to diagnose malaria before ...

Title: Green Synthesis of Cellulose Graft Copolymers for Anion Exchange Water Purification
Author: Schmal, Stephen
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: This thesis describes the synthesis and characterization of novel cellulose graft copolymers that are used for the purification of drinking water. These nanomaterials function as bottle-brush anion-exchange resins with repeating quaternary ammoniu...

Title: Hypercoordinate Silicon CNC-Pincer Complexes for Electronic Devices
Author: Earnhardt, Adam
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Chemistry, Organic, Materials science
Description: Previous studies have demonstrated hexacoordinate silicon pincer complexes to be attractive candidates for efficient electron and hole transport layers in organic electronic devices. This work expands the field by incorporating carbon-nitrogen-car...

Title: Long-term stability, vibrational and optical properties of β-ZnTe(en)0.5 and related organic-inorganic hybrid superlattices
Author: Ye, Tang
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Nanoscience, Materials science, Chemistry
Description: Organic-inorganic hybrids may offer material properties enhanced compared to or not available from their inorganic and organic components. However, they are typically less stable and disordered. A group of highly ordered II-VI based hybrid structu...

Title: Mass Spectrometric Protein Footprinting of Conformational Changes Induced by Chromatographic Surfaces
Author: Focke, Kimberly
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Analytical chemistry, Biochemistry
Description: Reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) of intact proteins induces conformational changes due to the denaturing effects of both the hydrophobic stationary phase and the high-organic mobile phase, which can lead to poor recovery and badly disto...

Title: Synthetic Approaches to Novel (Oxa)cages From a Polycyclic Hydrocarbon Framework
Author: Faussett, Matthew
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry, Organic
Description: Organic cage chemistry, an incredibly diverse sect of organic synthesis, has alwaysintrigued chemists to push the limits of synthetic knowledge, to explore novel structural elements, and to understand unique reactivity patterns. Organic cage compo...

Title: Utilizing fluorescently tagged undecaprenyl phosphate as a means to study lipid A modification in Bordetella pertussis.
Author: Black, Theresa
Date Created: 2022
Subjects--Topical: Chemistry
Description: Bordetella pertussis is a gram-negative bacterium that is the causative agent of whooping cough, a highly contagious disease that can be fatal in very young children. The outer membrane of the bacteria consists mainly of lipolysaccharide (LPS), an...
