Study of soy protein as a dielectric modifier for polymer materials
(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
(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.
(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) ... -
Synthesis of highly ordered titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanotubes: Impact of process parameters
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)Highly ordered arrays of Titanium dioxide (Ti0₂) nanotubes were synthesized from Titanium foil substrate using the electrochemical anodization process in an etching solution consisting of Ammonium Fluoride (NH₄F), Ethylene ... -
Synthesis, analysis, and characterization of electrically sensitive PVA hydrogels loaded with MTX cancer drugs
(Wichita State University, 2016-04-29)The objective of the project was to achieve controlled the drug release under different applied voltages. For this purpose, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels loaded with methotrexate (MTX) were prepared via solution casting ... -

The contributions of soy protein quaternary structures on viscoelastic properties of polyethylene oxide/soy protein composites
(Wichita State University, 2020-05-01)More than four-and-a-half million acres of Kansas land were covered in soybeans in 2018, with Kansas farmers harvesting an average of 44 bushels per acre worth a combined total of $1.6 billion. Soybeans are mostly used for ... -
Understanding the physics of droplet electrocoalescence in a microfluidic device
(Wichita State University, 2021-04-02)This work details a parametric study for merging millimeter sized oil droplets, using an electric field, to simulate a mesoscale version of the microfluidic device. This was done to see if the physics of droplet merging ... -
Using graphene in coating materials to prevent UV degradation on advanced composite materials
(Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)The objective of the project presented here was to develop a new nanocomposite coating materials for protection of advanced fiber reinforced composite wind turbine blades against UV degradation and corrosion from weathering. ... -
Waste water treatment using food waste, clothes and algae briquettes after activation and carbonization processes
(Wichita State University, 2018-04-27)Clean drinking water is one of the biggest issues in the world, and will be the most studied subject along with food in the near future. Some of the fresh water sources are contaminated with Sulfur, Nitrogen, Phosphorous ...
