A Model Study on Water Soluble Polymeric Nanofibers for Rapid Flocculation and Enhanced Dewatering of Fine Oil Sands Tailings Simulated Through Kaolin
DownloadFall 2018
Nanofibers are fibers with diameters lower than 100 nm, traditionally made from natural or synthetic polymers. Properties of nanofibers, such as low density, controllable surface functionality, and high surface area to volume ratio, allowed researchers to use them in a multitude of applications...

Hyperbranched Phosphorylcholine Polymers Synthesized via RAFT Polymerization for Gene Delivery and Synthesis of an Elastomeric Conductive Polymer for Cardiovascular Applications
DownloadFall 2012
Gene therapy has the potential to treat a variety of hereditary diseases such as diabetes, peanut anaphylaxis, cystic fibrosis and different types of cancer. Gene therapy relies on the design of a delivery system which can carry a gene of interest into a cell. The delivery systems can be broken...

Spring 2022
Small interfering ribonucleic acids (siRNA) effectively downregulate the specific gene expression from cleaving the associated messenger RNA (mRNA) in the cytoplasm, which is a promising strategy in cancer management as one of the origins of cancer is the unregulated expression of the oncogene....
