Towards the design of highly selective molecularly imprinted hydrogels for biosensor applications
(2009)
Robust molecular recognition is essential to enhance the accuracy of diagnostic devices aiming for a better efficacy in the clinical treatment of patients. The molecular imprinting technique has gained attention to generate ...
Maxwell-Stefan modeling of mass transfer effects in reactive chromatography
(2009)
A rigorous dynamic theoretical model was developed and implemented for simultaneous diffusion, reaction, and adsorption inside porous solids for the fixed bed chromatographic reactor (FBCR), true moving bed chromatographic ...
Development of an empirical model to predict the mean residence time in a tablet press feeder
(2017)
The die filling process is a continuous operation that is crucial to comply with the specifications and quality attributes of a pharmaceutical tablet. Die filling is usually performed using a rotary tablet press that has ...
Dynamics and rheology of Janus drops
(2015)
This dissertation sheds some light on the dynamics and rheological properties of compound multiphase drops in the creeping motion limit of the fluid phases from a fundamental standpoint. A compound multiphase drop can ...
Effect of protic and aprotic polar solvents on the heterogeneous catalytic conversion of hexoses
(2018-12-12)
We studied the synthesis, the characterization and the solvent effect on the catalytic performance of materials with Brønsted or Lewis acidity on the hexose conversion towards value-added molecules such as 5-(hydroxymeth ...
Computational study of the physical adsorption of CO₂ on novel sorbents based on porous coordination polymers
(2017)
CO2 capture has motivated the design and synthesis of a large number of adsorbent materials. An example of these materials are the coordination pillared-layers (CPLs), which have emerged as possible candidates for CO2 ...
Novel sulfonated ether based block copolymer ionomers as proton exchange membranes for fuel cells applications
(2017)
This investigation studied the morphology, hydration, and transport properties of different membranes for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) applications. First, sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) membranes were ...
Design of composite protein microcrystals for the sustained oral delivery of antigens
(2015)
Oral immunization is a promising method to decrease access of allergens and pathogens to the body. Oral delivery of antigens is challenged by the anatomical conditions of the gastrointestinal tract, such as degradation by ...
Functionalization and characterization of Sulfonated Poly (Styrene-Isobutylene-Styrene) membranes for fuel cells and specialty separation applications
(2014)
In this study, the transport properties of poly(styrene-isobutylene-styrene) (SIBS) block copolymer were determined as a function of sulfonation level (0-94.9 %), counter ion substitution (Ba+2, Ca+2, Mg+2, Mn+2, Cu+2, ...
Synthesis, characterization and detemplation of thermally unstable 3-D Metal-Substituted Aluminophosphates.
(2009)
The extent of the detemplation process in Me-SBE (Me = Co2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+) aluminophosphates was investigated. Hydrothermal synthesis conditions were optimized to obtain materials with minimal phase impurities. SEM analysis ...
