Characterizing Creatinine MIP Functionality Using Spectroscopy Techniques
Hovan, Bradley (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)The availability and timely use of novel diagnostic tools often benefits the prognosis and progression of many common diseases, including chronic and acute kidney disease, through better allotment of scarce treatment ... -
Enhancing drug delivery from electrospun fiber scaffolds for neural tissue engineering
D'Amato, Anthony R. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)The final aim in this study details the creation of an entirely new polymer that is made out of E2. With the help of Dr. Palermo’s lab, I synthesized a new, slowly-degrading E2 and polyethylene glycol (PEG) copolymer (PPEAP) ... -
Modeling interfaces in polymer nanodielectrics
Shandilya, Abhishek (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-12)Ab initio design of polymer nanocomposite materials for high breakdown strength requires prediction of trap states at the polymer–filler interface. Systematic first-principles calculations of realistic interfaces can be ... -
Structure-activity relationships in self-immolative and photodynamic antibacterial polymers
Ergene, Cansu (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2019-05)We also developed silyl ether-capped PBE gels containing cationic or PEG units in side chains using PEG thiol crosslinkers via photoactivated thiol-ene click reaction. These gels maintained the self-immolation ability of ... -
Structure-property relationships in poly(pro-17-estradiol) materials and the effect on in vitro degradation kinetics
Hsu, Alexander (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)Due to the refractory nature of the central nervous system (CNS), injuries such as spinal cord injury (SCI) trigger a complex injury cascade. Currently, no effective therapeutics exist to reverse the outcomes of progressive ...
