New Functional Groups For Sadmet Polymerization, Hasaan Rauf

Master's Theses

Olefin metathesis is one of the most widely used methods for the formation of carbon-carbon double bonds. Acyclic diene metathesis (ADMET) polymerization has been extensively used in the synthesis of precision polymers by using well-defined monomers to form unique polymer morphologies with intriguing physical properties. Traditional ADMET polymerization cannot be used to synthesize block or alternating polymers. Selective acyclic diene metathesis (SADMET) polymerization synthesizes a polymer with non-reactive backbone double bonds by sequentially reacting electron deficient α,ω-dienes with the reactive internal olefin bonds to form block and alternating polymers. To date, only acrylates have been widely utilized as the electron …

Electrical Characterization Of Blood Clots, William Mcgrath

Master's Theses

This work reports the use of dielectric spectroscopy to study blood and blood clots. A test setup was developed and electrode behavior was characterized with water and salt solutions. By measuring changes in electrical permittivity, trends differentiating clotting and non-clotting blood were identified. Non-clotting blood exhibited an increase in normalized permittivity at high frequencies that is credited to the sedimentation of red blood cells (RBCs) in static blood samples. Clotting blood was found to show a decrease in permittivity after some time at high frequencies. This is associated with the aggregation of red blood cells. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) and …
