Study of soy protein as a dielectric modifier for polymer materials

Wang, Wenqing; Feikert, Paige (Wichita State University, 2019-04-26)

Plant proteins, such as soy protein -- one of the least expensive and most widely available natural resources -- have been widely studied as functional materials. Proteins have great potential in dielectric applications, ...

Study of soy-protein-isolate and its nanocomposites for electrical energy

Cox, McCord (Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)

Soy protein has been a renewable natural resource for bio-plastics, in the face of environmental concerns relating to production, application and disposal of petro-polymers. The proteins are known for their multilevel ...

Synthesis and biological evaluation of drug-carrying magnetic nanocomposite particles for targeted drug delivery.

Wamocha, Humphrey Lusenaka; Misak, Heath Edward; Asmatulu, Ramazan (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2009-05-01)

Drug-carrying magnetic nanocomposite spheres were synthesized using Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles and poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) for the purpose of magnetic targeted drug delivery. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) ...
