In order to determine if PEG-PDMAEMA serves as both a polymer and a surfactant in EOR, testing of how viscosity and interfacial tension change of the aqueous PEG-PDMAEMA solution is needed. This can predict its ability ...

The ligand introduced during Janus formation could exchange with the cross-linker, reducing film integrity, and allowing for rotation and diffusion into liquid phases. To reduce this risk, we sought to take advantage oft ...

We are interested in the effects of bulk, condensed-phase media on the structural properties of molecular complexes, with an eye toward systems that change structure when the chemical environment is altered.

The optimum initial pH (before addition of molybdate) for the dissolution of silica to form HPA is approx. pH 10. This may be due to the balance between enhanced silica solubility at high pH and the optimal (low) pH of the ...

Planar conjugated organic compounds can be incorporated into a variety of applications due to their unique optical properties. One such class of these compounds contains the pyryliumunit, which is capable of reversible ...

Building off previous research on XOD ligand docking, the purpose of this project is to seek a caffeine derivative compound structurally similar to Urate and Allopurinol that would exhibit a similar binding mechanism to ...

A Hysitron nanoindentor was used to test the hardness and reduced modulus of several two sample groups. These samples consisted of silica colloids deposited onto glass slides that were sintered at various temperatures. ...
