    • Biomimetic Synthesis of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles 
      Sewell, Sarah Lynn (2006-12-13)
      Department: Chemistry
      Current approaches to the synthesis of metal oxides generally require harsh conditions. In contrast, many biological processes can produce intricate metal oxide nanostructures under ambient conditions. For example, the ...
    • From diatoms to malaria: synthesis and application of functional materials 
      Swartz, Joshua David (2011-09-15)
      Department: Chemistry
      This dissertation focuses on two projects that attempt to solve two unique challenges. Biomimetic synthesis inspired by diatoms provides the mechanism for developing functional materials under ambient conditions. The goal ...
