Design and investigation of block copolymers for dispersion of carbon nanotubes in polymer matrices by Liu, Chengyin

“…By introducing the allyl functional groups, the polymer can further react with other materials where the functional groups can then be easily changed to other functional groups. The main achievement of this thesis is that we first apply chromium complexed SWNTs in polyimide composite films and get a reinforcement in the mechanical properties, especially in modulus. …”

Neuroprotective effect of tocotrienol-rich fraction and a-tocopherol of vitamin E against glutamate toxicity in neuronal cells and astrocytes by Selvaraju, Thilaga Rati

“…TRF has been shown to possess potent antioxidant, antiinflammatory,anti-cancer, neuroprotective, and cholesterol-lowering activities. Glutamate is the main excitatory amino acid neurotransmitter in mammalian central nervous systems; it can be excitotoxic and has been suggested to play a key role in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. …”

Isotopes as a Tool for Exploring Exoplanet Atmospheres by Glidden, Ana

“…I simulated observations of CO₂ isotopologues in the H₂-dominated atmospheres of our nearest (< 40 pc), temperate (equilibrium temperature of 250-350 K) sub-Neptunes with M dwarf host stars. I find Earth-like fractionation of ¹³CO₂ to be distinguishable only if the atmosphere is H₂-dominated with a few percentage points of CO₂. …”
