The Development Of Photoinduced Initiation Of Olefin Polymerization And Its Applications, Justin M. Burroughs May 2022

The Development Of Photoinduced Initiation Of Olefin Polymerization And Its Applications, Justin M. Burroughs

Doctoral Dissertations

Polyolefin synthesis is an ever-growing field due to the low cost of monomer feed stocks and the wide range of applications of the resulting polymeric material. Polyolefins are most commonly polymerized through coordination-insertion polymerization. One area this field of research has progressed is the development of complex ligand scaffolds to achieve various levels of control over polymerization. For example, researchers have been able to control molecular weight, branching density, and tacticity of various olefin polymerizations. As a result of complex ligand scaffolds, the catalytic systems become more expensive and less industrially applicable. On the other hand, little research efforts have …


Viewing Tennessee's New Photo Identification Requirements For Voters Through Historical And National Lens, Daniel Sullivan Jun 2014

Viewing Tennessee's New Photo Identification Requirements For Voters Through Historical And National Lens, Daniel Sullivan

Tennessee Journal of Law and Policy

In 2011, Tennessee became only the fifth U.S. state to strictly require photograph identification as a prerequisite to voting.' Over the past decade, a nationwide battle has been brewing over voter identification laws. In fact, "[s]ince 2001, nearly 1,000 bills have been introduced in a total of 46 states," with 21 states passing "major [voter identification] legislation between 2003 and 2011." In 2011 alone, 34 states took up the issue, either "proposals for new voter ID laws in states that didn't already require voter ID at the polls (considered in 20 states), [or] proposals to strengthen existing voter ID requirements …
