(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)In this thesis, multilayered polymer thin films have been directed to different regions of a surface based on both electrostatic and secondary interactions between the polymer and the surface. This concept of adsorption ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)Biological materials such as cardiac and skin tissue exhibit the unique capacity to transduce mechanical stimuli into propagating electrical and chemical signals throughout the body. Few synthetic materials have been ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Fossil fuels have powered the transportation industry since the Industrial Revolution. However, rising transportation energy demand and new knowledge about the environmental impact of burning fossil fuels have motivated ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)The feasibility of using high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) to separate the Fe₃0₄ nanoparticles was studied in this work. We present a general model for nanoparticle capture based on calculating the limit of static ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Although the field of microbial metabolic engineering has traditionally been dominated by rational and knowledge-driven approaches, recent advances in genetic engineering have led to the emergence of a new methodology based ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)Fullerenes are molecules comprised entirely of sp²-bonded carbon atoms arranged in pentagonal and hexagonal rings to form a hollow, closed-cage structure. Buckyballs, a subset which contains C₆₀ and C₇₀, are single-shell ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)Continued advances in the semiconductor industry will require the introduction of new materials and processes concurrent with shrinking device dimensions. These simultaneous demands drastically reduce margins for error and ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Surfactants, or surface active agents, are used in many pharmaceutical, industrial, and environmental applications. Selection of the appropriate surfactant or mixture of surfactants for any given application is driven by ...
-
Comprehensive analysis of metabolic pathways through the combined use of multiple isotopic tracers (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2006)Metabolic Flux Analysis (MFA) has emerged as a tool of great significance for metabolic engineering and the analysis of human metabolic diseases. An important limitation of MFA, as carried out via stable isotope labeling ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)Cancer research has traditionally focused on genetic and biochemical changes during tumor progression. Uncontrolled cell proliferation of a solid tumor in a confined space not only creates well-studied oxidative stress ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)This thesis presents novel methods for the analysis and design of high-affinity protein interactions using a combination of high-resolution structural data and physics-based molecular models. First, computational analysis ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The fundamental question posed in this thesis is: how does a cell 'decide' to behave in a particular way? The human body is comprised of [approx.] 1014 cells that interpret extracellular information and respond with such ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)The steam methane reforming (SMR) reaction is the primary industrial means for producing hydrogen gas. As such, it is a critical support process for applications including petrochemical processing and ammonia synthesis. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)Nucleation processes are ubiquitous in nature and technology. For instance, cloud formation in the atmosphere, the casting of metals, protein crystallization, biomineralization, the production of porous materials, and ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)Recent advances in theory and practice, have introduced a wide variety of tools from machine learning that can be applied to data intensive chemical engineering problems. This thesis covers applications of statistical ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)In this thesis, the unusual physics of rodlike liquid crystals are explored through simulations of rigid-rod kinetic theory discretized by the finite element method. As their name suggests. these substances retain crystalline. ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)This computational and theoretical study investigates the self-assembly of superparamagnetic nanoparticles and block copolymers under external magnetic fields. A variety of morphological transitions are observed based on ...
