Sequential Model-Based A- and V-Optimal Design of Experiments for Building Fundamental Models of Pharmaceutical Production Processes
(Elsevier BV, 2019-07-02)Sequential model-based A- and V-optimal experimental designs are known to be effective for maximizing the information content of data, leading to reliable parameter estimates and model predictions. A- and V-optimal designs ... -
Solvent Effects on Radical Copolymerization Kinetics of 2-Hydroxyethyl Methacrylate and Butyl Methacrylate
(MDPI AG, 2019-03)2-Hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) is an important component of many acrylic resins used in coatings formulations, as the functionality ensures that the chains participate in the cross-linking reactions required to form ... -
Structure of the Electrical Double Layer Revisited: Electrode Capacitance in Aqueous Solutions
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2020-04-28)The structure of the electrical double layer at the interface of planar electrodes and aqueous solutions is investigated. Electrical impedance spectroscopy is used to measure the impedance of aqueous solutions of sodium ... -
A sugar-template manufacturing method for microsystem ion-exchange membranes
(IOP Publishing, 2017-06)In this work, we report on a novel method for producing ion-exchange membranes that can be integrated directly into polydimethylsiloxane-based micro devices. Ionomers such as NafionTM, a copolymer with high conductivity ... -
Superabsorbent hydrogels made from bio-sourced butyrolactone monomer in aqueous solution
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2017-10-10)A new water-soluble monomer, sodium 4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-methylene butanoate (SHMeMB), formed by saponification of the bio-derived monomer γ-methyl-α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone (MeMBL), was copolymerized with acrylamide ... -
Synthesizing Systems Biology Knowledge from Omics Using Genome‐Scale Models
(Wiley, 2020-06-24)Omic technologies have enabled the complete readout of the molecular state of a cell at different biological scales. In principle, the combination of multiple omic data types can provide an integrated view of the entire ... -
Using poly(vinyldodecylimidazolium bromide) for the in‐situ product recovery of n‐butanol
(Wiley, 2019)The mitigation of end‐product inhibition during the biosynthesis of n‐butanol is demonstrated for an in‐situ product recovery (ISPR) system employing a poly(ionic liquid) (PIL) absorbent. The thermodynamic affinity of ... -
Using Prior Parameter Knowledge in Model‐Based Design of Experiments for Pharmaceutical Production
(Wiley, 2020-08-11)Sequential model‐based design of experiments (MBDoE) uses information from previous experiments to select new experimental conditions. Computation of MBDoE objective functions can be impossible due to a non‐invertible ... -
Vinyl pivalate Propagation Kinetics in Radical Polymerization
(Wiley, 2016)Radical propagation kinetics of the bulk homopolymerizations of vinyl pivalate (VPi) and vinyl benzoate (VBz) have been studied using pulsed-laser polymerization (PLP) combined with size exclusion chromatography (SEC). As ... -
Zeta Potential of Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) in Contact with Aqueous Electrolyte–Surfactant Solutions
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2017-10-10)The addition of surfactants can considerably impact the electrical characteristics of an interface, and the zeta potential measurement is the standard method for its characterization. In this article, a comprehensive study ...
