Studies related to the chemistry and environmental persistence of methoxychlor and its derivatives
(1983)
An Investigation of some of the chemical and biological
factors Influencing the environmental fate of methoxychlor
( 1 , 1, 1-trichloro-2,2-bis (p-methoxyphenyl) ethane) has been
conducted.
Methoxychlor is an organochlorine ...
Photolysis of poly-acyl styrene polymers
(1989)
The following is a study of the long wave (wavelength >300 nm) photolysis
of a series of poly acyl styrenes, in particular, poly-p-acetyl-styrene (PPAS), polyp-
propionyl-styrene (PPPS), poly-o-acetyl-styrene (POAS), ...
The stereochemical impact of chiral ionic liquids on [2+2] photochemical cycloadditions and aldol reactions
(2020)
Eight chiral ionic liquids have been prepared for use as solvents to test whether they can
induce enantioselectivity in both photochemical [2+2] cycloadditions and aldol reactions using a
variety of starting materials. ...
Sulfo-functionalization of lignin and its impact on the stabilization of colloidal systems
(2021)
Lignin macromolecules, derived from renewable biomass resources, have gained extensive interest
during the past decade as a sustainable substitute for synthetic oil-based materials. The main goal
of this dissertation was ...
Synthesis and modification of TiO2 and WO3 based nanostructured materials for environmental applications
(2015-10-21)
TiO2 and WO3 based nanomaterials are highly attractive for various applications encompassing photocatalysis, electrochromic devices, dye sensitized solar cells, hydrogen production, and sensing applications due to their ...
Dispersion and flocculation affinity of anionically charged kraft lignin
(2018)
Softwood kraft lignin is a biodegradable, renewable, and environmentally friendly natural polymer. Although kraft lignin is widely produced in Canada, it is predominantly underutilized as fuel because it is only soluble ...
Expansion of the applicability of the Truce-Smiles rearrangement
(2022)
The Truce-Smiles rearrangement is a synthetically useful and easily performed reaction
which can be used to condense multiple steps of a synthesis. The nucleophilic aromatic
substitution in this reaction produces a chiral ...
Development of graphite based nanomaterials for green chemistry applications
(2017)
Graphite is a valuable natural resource and useful carbon allotrope that has been explored for
various applications. Graphene is a two-dimensional (2D) transparent material, which is the
strongest, thinnest, and most ...
