In the natural environment, manganese oxide is known for its excellent adsorption properties and strong oxidation ability. The interaction between Cr and Mn oxides is complex, which is not only due to the absorption and ...

Third, we concern ourselves with the development of a coarse grained model of the worm like chain. Currently, no model exists that can well reproduce the behavior of the worm like chain over the length scale of 0.2-2 ...

The model equations are refined to expand its failure prediction capabilities. The electron temperature is re-defined solely as a function of the electric field, and the defect generation rate is more closely aligned with ...

From ketchup to toothpaste, colloids are as ubiquitous as they are useful to people’s lives. As technology involving colloids advances, we are finding new and interesting ways to take advantage of colloidal suspensions. ...

Commercial regenerated cellulose membranes with 1 kDa molecular weight cutoff (MWCO) were grafted with chiral L-proline-copper complexes to form chiral ligand exchange membranes. The resulting membranes were evaluated in ...

The tendency of surface tension to cause small parcels of fluid to form into drops allows convenient packaging, transport, dispersal of liquid phase matter. Liquid drop impacts with solids, liquids, and other drops have ...

Random fiber networks are assemblies of one-dimensional mechanical elements used to model the mechanics of various natural and man-made materials such as biopolymer gels and synthetic nonwovens. The small-strain mechanics ...

We report the design and synthesis of silica Janus motors via the Pickering emulsion method, using a naturally occurring enzyme, catalase, which catalyzes the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. Enzymes ...

In Chapter 2, we have evaluated the ionic-strength dependent self-association of three mAbs using self-interaction chromatography for a range of pH values commonly used in antibody formulation (pH 4-6). We find that antibody ...
