(RADA)4 Self-Assembling Peptide based Hydrogels: Design, Characterization and In-Vitro Biological Evaluation
DownloadFall 2016
Ionic self-assembling peptides have emerged as promising nano-biomaterials, with direct applications in the fields of bioengineering and applicative medicine. (RADA)4 is a self-assembling 16 residue containing peptide, with alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues. This characteristic...

Gas Diffusion Layers Impregnated with Metal Oxide Decorated and Nitrogen-Doped Carbon Nanotube Catalysts for Electrically Rechargeable Zn-Air Batteries
DownloadSpring 2020
Secondary zinc-air batteries (ZABs) have garnered interest in recent years as a promising technology for energy storage due to their minimal safety concerns, low cost, and a high theoretical energy density. However, many issues still need to be resolved for commercialization of ZABs. Many of...
