Development of Mussel-inspired Antifouling Coatings and Underwater Adhesive Materials and the Associated Surface Interaction Mechanisms
DownloadFall 2022
Nature biology like blue mussels, barnacles, and sandcastles can tightly attach to solid surfaces in the ocean, even under dynamic and turbulent environments. Exploration of these organisms has revealed the significance of catechol-enriched adhesive proteins as the unique paradigm for the...

Elemental Mercury Removal from Flue Gas by Metal/Metal Oxide Decorated Graphene Oxide Composites
DownloadFall 2014
The toxic elemental mercury (Hg0) released from coal-fired flue gases is a huge threat to the environment and health of human beings. In this work, silver nanoparticles (NPs), nano ferrite, manganese dioxide, zinc oxide and copper oxide were successfully deposited on graphene oxide (GO) and...
