Acid Labile Surfactants Containing Ketal-Linkage in Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography and Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry
DownloadFall 2012
The combination of micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) would yield a very powerful analytical technique. However, hyphenating both techniques is not easy. Sodium 4-[(2-methyl-2-undecyl-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl) methoxy]-1-propane...

The objective of this thesis is to design nanoparticle (NP)-based drug delivery systems suitable for treatment of bone diseases. Two types of nanocarriers, (1) polymer coated bovine serum albumin (BSA) NPs and (2) lipid based NPs (micelles and liposomes) were investigated. The BSA NPs were...

Cationic surfactant based coatings for protein separations and control of electroosmotic flow in capillary electrophoresis
DownloadFall 2014
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is a fast and high efficiency separation technique based on the differential migration of charged species in an electric field. CE is useful for the separation of a wide range of analytes from small ions to large biomolecules. However, CE separations of proteins are...

Cell-electronic Sensing of Cellular Responses and Toxicity Induced by Nanoparticles and Arsenic Species
DownloadFall 2013
We demonstrate the development of a real-time cell analysis (RTCA) platform for studying nanoparticle- and arsenic-induced cytotoxicity with potential applications to risk assessment, environmental toxicity monitoring, and drug development. RTCA is an impedance-based in vitro detection system...

The non-aqueous extraction process involves dilution of mined oil sand with an organic solvent (the “diluent”), followed by separation of unwanted materials (clays, silica sand, connate water, etc.) from the diluted bitumen. The main focus of this research is on the removal of fines solids from...

A device constructed by sandwiching a thin film of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-co-acrylic acid (pNIPAmco-AAc) microgels between two thin layers of Au (all on a glass support) was used as a novel platform for controlled release of small molecules (drugs). In this submission, the model drug tris...

The tendency of asphaltenes to aggregate in crude oil is observed at SATP and is enhanced at elevated temperatures. At these conditions, asphaltenes aggregation is a problem as it will ultimately lead to mesophase formation, a precursor of coke, known for causing plugging and fouling of...

Electrocoalescence of Water Droplets in Oil Emulsions: Effect of Electric Fields, Surfactants, and Chemical Demulsifiers
DownloadSpring 2019
Stabilization of water-in-oil droplets during bitumen extraction and refining process poses a major challenge in the oil sands industry. These crude oil emulsions are stabilized by rigid films at water droplet-oil interfaces. The salty water remaining in oil causes equipment corrosion, catalyst...

Evaluating Wettability and Imbibition Oil Recovery of the Core Plugs and Crushed Rock Samples from the Duvernay Formation
DownloadSpring 2018
Unconventional sources have become the leading sources of hydrocarbons in North America. These unconventional resources with low porosity and ultra-low permeability can produce hydrocarbon at profitable rates from a hydraulically fractured horizontal well. However, rock-fluid properties need to...
