The fundamental nature of layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly in confined geometries was investigated for a number of different chemical systems. The first part of this thesis concerns the modification of microfluidic and ...

Objectives: The aims of this investigation are to (i) prepare hybrid quantum dot (QD)-polymer compleses, (ii) maniplulate structural and chemical properties of the hybrids and characterize their effects on biocompatibility, ...

The Eastman Kodak Company's Annesley, United Kingdom facility assembles consumer and professional film for distribution to the European, Middle Eastern, African, and Russian (EAMER) region. Under pressure from digital ...

It is both uncontroversial and unassailable to assert that small things can often go where big things cannot. It is similarly prosaic to note that at smaller length scales, matter behaves differently than at larger length ...

Genome sequencing and the subsequent development of high-throughput probing of cellular states have dramatically increased our ability to understand cellular compensation to perturbation. As such, integrating system-wide ...

The focus of this thesis work is the application of non-equilibrium thermodynamics in lithium-ion battery modeling. As the demand for higher power and longer lasting batteries increases, the search for materials suitable ...
