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 ...
White-Light Generation and OLED Lifetime Issues.
(2008)
This thesis presents experimental results and discussion regarding issues related to organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs). In particular, this thesis has three main focuses: the generation of white light from Förster ...
A Building Block Approach Towards Novel Nonlinear Optical Materials.
(2007)
The purpose of the present research is to develop and apply a building block approach towards the design of novel nonlinear optical materials, capable of exhibiting enhanced Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) behavior. These ...
Pore Characterization of Ultralow-k Dielectric Thin Films Using Positronium Annihilation Spectroscopy.
(2008)
In this thesis, a series of nanoporous ultralow dielectric constant (ULK) thin films fabricated using spin-coating and sacrificial pore generators (degradable porogens embedded in a host matrix) were studied as a function ...
Multicompartmental Biomaterials via Electrohydrodynamic Co-jetting.
(2011)
The synthesis and theranostic applications of biodegradable anisotropic materials are described in this dissertation. Precise nano- and micro-scale control of the architecture of biodegradable polymeric materials is highly ...
Formal Cycloadditions Driven by the Homolytic Opening of Strained, Saturated Ring Systems
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-01-23)
The field of strain-driven, radical formal cycloadditions is experiencing a surge in activity motivated by a renaissance in free radical chemistry and growing demand for sp3-rich ring systems. The former has been driven ...
Superior Metal-Organic Framework Activation with Dimethyl Ether
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-12-23)
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are demonstrated to be readily activated by treatment with the low surface tension, low boiling point solvent dimethyl ether (DME). The mildness of the method enables access to high surface ...
Transparent and Self-Healing Elastomers for Reconfigurable 3D Materials
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-12)
Transparent soft materials are widely used in applications ranging from packaging to flexible displays, wearable devices, and optical lenses. Nevertheless, soft materials are susceptible to mechanical damage, leading to ...
Nonlinear Optical Enhancement from Aggregate and Ensemble Effects in Organic Systems.
(2011)
Organic optoelectronics provide several advantages over traditional Si based systems. These advantages are typically cost, ease of manufacturing, and environmental impact. One area of particular interest in the field of ...
Photochemical C(sp2)−H Pyridination via Arene–Pyridinium Electron Donor–Acceptor Complexes
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-11-14)
This report describes the development of a photochemical method for C(sp2)−H pyridination that leverages the photoexcitation of electron donor–acceptor (EDA) complexes. Experimental and DFT studies show that black light ...
