Catalytic Oxidation of Nitric Oxide Using Hyper-Cross-Linked Porous Polymers: Impact of Physiochemical Properties on Conversion Efficiency
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to the atmosphere remain a threat to human health and the environment despite stringent regulations and decades of control technology development. A majority of emitted NOx is generated ...
A Lipidomics-Based Approach to Study Fatostatin-Induced Toxicity
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Despite the well-known biological heterogeneity that exists between different types of cancer, they each undergo metabolic reprogramming to promote unregulated proliferation and tumor growth. This metabolic reprogramming ...
Developing Novel Charge-Carriers for High-Energy Density Aqueous and Non-Aqueous Redox Flow Batteries
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The main objective of this thesis has been to investigate new charge carriers for redox flow batteries (RFBs) to address stability, solubility, and energy density limitations in existing systems. Using cyclic voltammetry ...
On the Synthesis of Novel Dyes for Biomedical Imaging using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The syntheses and applications of dye molecules has fascinated chemists for over a century. Applications of synthetic dyes are vast, and are of interest to textile industry, molecular imaging, and renewable imaging. Recent ...
Boron, Boron Hyperdoped Silicon and Silicon Nanoparticle Synthesis by Laser Pyrolysis with Applications in Energy Storage
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
This dissertation presents three examples of how laser pyrolysis synthesis can be used to develop new nanomaterials for energy applications. In the first chapter, we will discuss synthesis, characterization and application ...
Interactions at the Surface-Adsorbate Interface: An Outlook Through Computational Work
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The interaction between surfaces and adsorbates are discussed from the results of a multitude of different projects. Single molecule adsorption, molecular cluster formation, and hydrogen bonded molecular networks were ...
Biological Assessment of Thioamide and Amide-Containing Chalcogenorhodamine Dyes as Photosensitizers for PDT of Cancer, ECP, and GVHD & Synthesis and Evaluation of Oligothiophene-Containing Chalcogenorhodamine Dyes for Biological and Photochemical Applications
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
The synthesis of chalcogenorhodamine dyes having biological applications as photosensitizers for photodynamic therapy (PDT) of cancer, extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) of malignant T-cells, and graft-versus-host disease ...
Aerobic Photoredox Reactions with Chalcogenorosamine Photosensitizers
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Photocatalysis is a single-electron-transfer (SET) process that employs organic dyes or transition metal complexes along with visible light irradiation.1 Organic dyes have been utilized to a limited extent in photoredox ...
Determining Conformational Preferences of Shape-Persistent Aromatic Oligoamides and Folding of Aromatic Oligoureas with Ion-Pair Associations
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The synthesis and characterization of folding aromatic oligoamides with reducedconstraint, ion-pair associations and solvent-mediated folding of aromatic oligoureas, andoligoamides with unique conformational variations ...
BIOPROSPECTING THREE PLANTS FROM THE TROPICAL RAINFOREST AS POTENTIAL ANTIMICROBIAL ADJUVANTS
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
THREE PLANTS FROM THE TROPICAL RAINFOREST AS POTENTIAL ANTIMICROBIAL ADJUVANTSAbstract The ‘resistance bacteria era’ is intrinsically related to the hospital acquired infections (HAI). The most frequent HAI causal agent ...
