Ion Beam Analysis of Solute Incorporation in GaAsN and GaAsNBi Alloys
(2017)
Highly mismatched alloys (HMAs) consist of highly immiscible solute atoms in a solvent. In dilute nitride semiconductor alloys, due to the resonant interactions between the conduction and/or valence band of the solvent and ...
Microstructural Response of Magnesium Alloys: 3D Crystal Plasticity and Experimental Validation
(2017)
Lightweight materials such as Aluminum are prevalent in aerospace and automotive vehicles, but the use of lighter Magnesium alloys will significantly increase fuel efficiency and cut emissions. Magnesium alloys present a ...
Biological Applications of Surfaces with Extreme Wettabilities
(2019)
Surfaces with extreme wettabilities have become an increasingly popular topic due to their wide range of applications – from simply keeping dirt off clothing to oil-water separation in the event of an oil spill. In particular, ...
Computational Studies of Vitrimers, Semicrystalline Polymers and Metals: Deformation, Actuation and Fabrication
(2023)
Molecular dynamics (MD) provides valuable insights into the structure, dynamics, and properties of materials, especially when experimental data is scarce or difficult to obtain. In this thesis, we use MD simulations to ...
Immunotherapeutic and Diagnostic Potential of Engineered Materials
(2022)
Globally breast cancer has the highest rates of incidence and mortality among women, and the progression of localized breast cancer to metastatic disease is associated with a stark decrease in survival. Although robust ...
In Vitro and In Vivo Testing of Ultra-Small Gold Nanoparticles as a Novel Drug Delivery Platform for Enhancing the Brain Penetration and Receptor Binding Affiinity of Central Nervous System Drugs.
(2013)
The endothelial cells of brain capillaries form the so-called blood brain barrier (BBB) which protects the central nervous system (CNS) from the entry of neurotoxins and blood components. Consequently, more than 98% of ...
Injectable Multi-Drug Formulation for the Postoperative Management of Ocular Surgery
(2017)
In this dissertation, the interaction between particles or particles and polymers were examined. In addition, outcomes of such studies were used to develop drug delivery formulations.
Initially, by carrying out Brownian ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Conjugated Silsesquioxanes (SQs) and their Beads on a chain (BoC) Polymers.
(2014)
Organic/inorganic hybrid materials play a major role in developing high performance and high functional materials. Octameric polyhedral silsesquioxanes (SQs), (RSiO1.5)8, are unique hybrid materials which indicate that the ...
Tissue Engineering Simplified: Biodegradable Polymers and Biomimetic Scaffolds Made Easy, Tailorable, and Economical for Tissue Engineering
(2020)
Modifying scaffolds with regulatory signals has been shown to enhance the scaffold's biomimetic properties (hydrophilicity, degradation, and biocompatibility) resulting in improved regeneration. However, most polymers ...
Engineering Hybrid Interfaces of Organic-Inorganic 2D Semiconductors
(2022)
The unique properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials have inspired widespread interests in integrating distinct 2D materials into van der Waals (vdW) heterojunctions for innovative device configurations. The organic-inorganic ...
