    Investigation of Hydroisomerization Catalysts and Reaction Conditions to produce Branched-Chain Fatty Acids 

    Duff, Samantha
    Fatty acids (FAs) from vegetable oils can be used as feed to produce renewable hydrocarbons and bio-lubricants. Naturally occurring FAs are, however, susceptible to oxidative attack and have operating temperature limitations ...

    Polymeric Ionic Liquid Compositions for In-Situ Product Removal Bioreactor Applications 

    Biro, Robert
    Although the biosynthesis of n-butanol and succinic acid can afford renewable fuels, solvents, and chemical intermediates, these bioprocesses suffer from the cytotoxicity of their end products, leading to reduced production ...

    An evaluation of hyaluronic acid and poly-L-lysine polyelectrolyte layers on alginate microspheres for use in protein-triggered drug release 

    Baldwin, Emily
    Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in developed countries in those 50 years of age and older. Increased expression of the protein vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays a ...

    Degradation and Crystallization Studies of Branched PLA Prepared by Reactive Extrusion 

    Simmons, Heather
    This thesis proposes strategies to improve the crystallinity and mechanical properties of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and investigates the effects of these modifications on hydrolytic degradation. The effect of long-chain ...

    Improved recipes for leuco-crystal violet micelle gel dosimeters 

    Smith, Mandy
    An optimized recipe for a radiochromic micelle (RM) leuco-crystal violet (LCV) gel dosimeter was proposed using full-factorial designed experiments and model-based optimization. Linear regression models were used to optimize ...

    Mathematical Modeling of Nylon 6/6,6 Copolymerization 

    Liu, Fei
    This thesis develops a mathematical model for the hydrolytic copolymerization of caprolactam with hexamethylene diamine (HMD) and adipic acid (ADA) in a batch reactor to produce nylon 6/6,6 copolymer. The reaction mechanism ...

    Development of a solid-phase extraction method for the separation of algal lipid classes 

    Claudio Pachecano, Elizabeth
    Algal oils have been extensively used as feedstocks for the production of biodiesel. These can be obtained using one of several extraction techniques, such as Soxhlet extraction. A critical issue is the presence of compounds ...

    Improvement of Biofuel Fermentation Processes With Use of Poly(vinyldodecylimidazolium bromide) for In-situ Product Removal 

    Vincent, Rachel
    The production of biofuels through fermentation has become increasingly important due to the need for sustainable energy sources. The fermentation processes of ethanol and n-butanol, by Saccharomyces cerevisiae and ...
