Contrasting View On Asphaltene And Human Cardiac Troponin I: A Surface Chemistry And Spectroscopy Perspective, Jhony Orbulescu

Open Access Dissertations

Surface chemistry has proven in the recent years that it could be used for a variety of applications. In the current work, the surface chemistry and spectroscopic techniques are used to emphasize their great potential in aggregation studies of UG8 asphaltene and the contrasting results for a surface chemistry perspective for the human cardiac troponin I. The first part of the work focuses on the influence of different spreading solvents on the aggregation of UG8 asphaltene and their comparison to the literature on the topic. It is shown that the surface chemistry approach employed in the current work has significant …
