Purely Organic Triplet Emitters: From Fundamental Molecular Design to Performance Amplification in Modern Applications
(2022)
Emissive materials are the essential functional components in many modern and emerging technologies such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solid-state lighting, sensors, and data encryption. Metal-free purely organic ...
Understanding the Solution Phase Chemistry and Solid State Thermodynamic Behavior of Pharmaceutical Cocrystals.
(2012)
This dissertation focuses on the thermodynamic stability and solubility of pharmaceutical cocrystals. Specifically, the objectives are to; (i) investigate the influence of coformer properties such as solubility and ionization ...
Investigation of the Optical Properties of Novel Organic Macromolecules for Solar Cell Applications.
(2015)
The search for renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuel has been a major research focus in the energy sector. The sun, with its vast amount of energy, remains the most abundant and ubiquitous energy source that far ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
Systematic Improvement of Quantification and Formulation of Synthetic Protein Nanoparticles for Gene Delivery
(2022)
Gene therapy is a promising field for the generation of new and more effective therapies, but its application is stymied by the lack of safe and efficient delivery vehicles. Furthermore, gene delivery system optimization ...
Stochastic Modeling of the Formation of Aromatics in Combustion
(2021)
Understanding the formation of polycyclic aromatic compounds (PACs) in combustion not only bridges the knowledge gap between the small gas-phase species and incipient soot particles, but may also help address the global ...
Theoretical and Experimental Study of Fuel Injector Tip Wetting as a Source of Particulate Emissions in Gasoline Direct-Injection Engines
(2019)
Gasoline fuel film deposited on the tip of a fuel injector, i.e. injector tip wetting, has been identified as a significant source of particulate emissions at some operating conditions of gasoline direct-injection engines. ...
Hsp70 chaperone Proteins and their Interactions with Various Drugs as Studied by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance.
(2011)
Chaperone proteins and their cochaperones are perhaps one of the most intriguing systems for investigation. Ubiquitous in nature, they can be found in every organism and that perhaps is the reason that their sequence shows ...
Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Phase and Structural Transitions in Model Lung Surfactant Mixtures.
(2010)
Lung surfactant (LS) is a complex mixture of lipids and proteins that reduces and regulates the surface tension in the lungs, thereby decreasing the work of breathing. A thorough understanding of LS function is critical ...
Chemometric Methods for the Determination of Volatile Organic Compounds with Microsensor Arrays.
(2008)
This research addresses critical chemometric modeling and data analysis functions needed to guide the design and implementation of novel meso-scale and micro-scale instrumentation that incorporates chromatographic separation ...
