Methodologies For Metal Functionalization Of Phosphorus Based Photopolymer Networks, Vanessa Béland
Methodologies For Metal Functionalization Of Phosphorus Based Photopolymer Networks, Vanessa Béland
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Photopolymer networks with phosphonium cation, alkyl phosphine and olefin functionality were designed, synthesized and functionalized with metals by metathesis, coordination and hydrometallation reactions, respectively. The materials were strategically designed so that the metal functionalization step could be monitored and quantified. In some cases, this involved characterization by IR, NMR, or X-ray spectroscopic techniques, or by comparison to molecular analogues. It was found that by using a bi-functional photopolymer network, the material could be bi-metallized by orthogonal mechanisms. All metallized polymer networks were tested for their suitability as precursors to metal-containing ceramics. The polymers were pyrolyzed, and on analysis it was …
Synchrotron Radiation Analysis Of Daguerreotypes: Surface Characterization, Electrocleaning, And Preservation, Madalena S. Kozachuk
Synchrotron Radiation Analysis Of Daguerreotypes: Surface Characterization, Electrocleaning, And Preservation, Madalena S. Kozachuk
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The first commercially viable photographic image, the daguerreotype, captured images from 1839 to 1860. While daguerreotypes provide a significant historical record of 19th century individuals and events, deterioration now disfigures many of these images. This work describes the application of synchrotron radiation (SR) to the study of daguerreotypes.
Three goals were addressed in this thesis: 1) to utilize SR to further elucidate the physics and chemistry of the daguerreotype and how the surface varies with time, 2) to study the effects of the electrocleaning system on the daguerreotype surface, and 3) to propose suggestions to improve their preservation and …

Non-Traditional Metallation Of Metallothioneins With Xenobiotic Therapeutic Metals, Daisy L. Wong
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The rise of the Anthropocene has seen more global pollution than before in history. With the explosion of consumer electronics in the last half century, the rise of metal pollution from their extraction and disposal results in the unnatural introduction of heavy and rare metals into the ecosystem. Organisms have a metal defense protein, metallothionein, which has multiple roles in essential metal regulation and protection against minimal toxic metal exposure. However, these modern heavy metals prominent in electronics are not found biologically and their interactions in the body are generally unknown. Some of these metals are employed as therapeutic agents …

Corrosion Studies On Lightweight Automotive Alloys: The Effect Of Microstructure And Fundamental Mechanisms, Wilfred J. Binns
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Owing to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and low density, magnesium alloys have the potential to significantly reduce the weight of automobiles leading to decreased emissions and greater range for electrical vehicles. However, the practicality of magnesium alloys for automotive and aerospace applications is severely hindered by their poor corrosion resistance in aqueous environments. Despite intensive research effort, the underlying mechanism(s) responsible for this poor corrosion resistance remains elusive. Further complicating the situation is the presence of secondary microstructures which are necessary for desirable physical properties but lead to microgalvanic coupling which exacerbates the poor corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys. This …

Protein Conformations In The Gas Phase Probed By Mass Spectrometry And Molecular Dynamics Simulations, Maryam Bakhtiari
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Mass Spectrometry (MS) has been revolutionized by the ability to produce intact gaseous protein ions by electrospray ionization (ESI). The question to what extent these ions retain solution-like conformations under “native” ESI conditions remains a matter of debate. Traditional high-resolution structure determination techniques only report on proteins in the condensed phase. For this reason, MD simulations play an important role in exploring the behavior of gas phase proteins. In this research, mobile and non-mobile proton MD simulations along with mass spectrometry data at 300 K in both positive and negative ion mode indicated that native-like conformations were largely retained. Surface …
