Applying Bioactive Glass Beads For Long-Term Drug Delivery, Marie O. Sykes, Rashi Sharma Apr 2023

Applying Bioactive Glass Beads For Long-Term Drug Delivery, Marie O. Sykes, Rashi Sharma

Physics and Astronomy Presentations

Bioactive glass beads have been used to distribute medicine over extended periods of time in limited uses. They can be engineered to have a porous and hollow structure, and using Mo-Sci's OL-GL 1756b (1756b), the fundamental notion of dosage distribution can be tested in preparation to design the optimal glass for medicine distribution. A few key factors in this is how long does it take the liquid to release from the beads, how do the beads decay, and how well the glass can bond to human tissue. This research demonstrates the capacities of the 1756b type as a promising start …


54fe(D,P)55fe Single Neutron Transfer Presentation, Matthew Quirin, Raymond Saunders Jul 2021

54fe(D,P)55fe Single Neutron Transfer Presentation, Matthew Quirin, Raymond Saunders

Physics and Astronomy Presentations

During our summer research at the John D Fox Laboratory, we used the 9 MV Tandem van de Graaff accelerator and the Super Enge Split-Pole Spectrograph to make measurements of the neutron transfer reaction 54Fe(d,p) 55Fe to observe and explore excited states of 55Fe and shell structure beyond the magic number N=28. We have created momentum spectra and angular distribution plots of the protons from the reaction which will be analyzed to determine the angular momentum values of states and single-neutron energies in 55Fe in an effort to better understand nuclear structure.


Processing And Characterization Of Spin-Coated As2s3 Films For Direct Laser Writing, Mia Truman May 2020

Processing And Characterization Of Spin-Coated As2s3 Films For Direct Laser Writing, Mia Truman

Physics and Astronomy Presentations

Diffraction gratings, waveguides, and resonators are components of photonic devices that can be fabricated using chalcogenide glasses. These chalcogenide components can be made through a process of direct laser writing and etching to reveal targeted structures on the surface of the films. Thermal deposition in combination with targeted laser irradiation has been used on As2S3 films with excellent results, but spin-coating as a method of deposition has been less explored. Spin-Coating is a relatively inexpensive procedure where a bulk glass is dissolved into a solution using amines and “spun” onto a substrate. This is a low-cost alternative …
