A Molecular Approach to Nanoparticles: Using the Molecular-Interface to Influence Growth, Enhance Electrochemical Behavior and Drive Biocompatibility

Kellon, Jaclyn (University of Oregon, 2020-02-27)

Nanoparticles have garnered much interest over the past 30 years due to their unique size-dependent properties. The majority of research initially focused on developing synthetic methods to produce uniform materials with ...
Cycloparaphenylenes as Building Blocks for Self-Assembled Nanotube-like Structures

Leonhardt, Erik (University of Oregon, 2020-09-24)

Since its first synthesis in 2008, the cycloparaphenylene (CPP), or “carbon nanohoop”, has quickly evolved from a synthetic novelty to a readily accessible and highly tunable molecular scaffold. With accessibility no ...
Design, Synthesis, and Characterization of Metal Oxide Nanostructures Formed Through Natural and Direct-Write Processes

Sharps, Meredith (University of Oregon, 2019-09-18)

Inorganic metal oxide nanomaterials are of interest because they exhibit unique properties that can aid in applications including catalysis, energy storage, sensing, and medicine. These properties arise from nanoscale ...
Investigating the Viability of a Carbon Nanotube Surface as a Gastric Cancer Screening Tool

McAllister, Bri Elise (University of Oregon, 2020)

Gastric cancer is a type of cancer that affects the stomach, esophagus, and duodenum. According to the American Cancer society, there were an estimated 27,510 diagnosed cases in the US, 2019 (American Cancer Society, 2019). ...
Nanoarchitecture-property Relationships in Tise2 Based Nanolaminates for Development of Novel Design Strategies in Composite Thermoelectric Materials

Bauers, Sage (University of Oregon, 2017-05-01)

This dissertation is centered on investigation of metastable thermoelectric thin film materials and is split into 3 primary sections. Section 1 focuses on formation mechanisms of FeSbx compounds from layered precursors. ...
Nanoparticles as Chemical Reagents: Synthesis, Characterization and Post-synthetic Modification of Functionalized Monolayer Protected Gold Nanoparticle Building Blocks for the Construction of Advanced Nanomaterials

Elliott III, Edward (University of Oregon, 2014-09-29)

The wide variety of novel properties provided by various nanomaterials has striking implications for future applications. However, adoption of new materials is hindered by challenges in material definition, reproducibility, ...
Synthesis of Inorganic Nanoscale Clusters and How Their Fundamental Coordination Geometries Affect Solution Speciation and Thin Film Properties

Fulton, Brantly (University of Oregon, 2019-09-18)

The objective of this thesis research is to understand how fundamental coordination geometry of aqueous nanoscale inorganic clusters effects solution speciation. While past research has developed a substantial understanding ...
Towards well-defined gold nanomaterials via diafiltration and aptamer mediated synthesis

Sweeney, Scott Francis, 1977- (University of Oregon, 2007-12)

Gold nanoparticles have garnered recent attention due to their intriguing size- and shape-dependent properties. Routine access to well-defined gold nanoparticle samples in terms of core diameter, shape, peripheral functionality ...
