  • Synthesis of Pseudo Luna Agglutinates from NU-LHT-1M/2M Derivative Si 
    Elliot, Megan (2022-05)
    In this work, a new process for the synthesis of pseudo lunar agglutinates was investigated. Agglutinates are agglomerates containing glass and minerals. A synthetic lunar mineral blend of anorthite, diopside, enstatite, ...
  • The Synthesis, Characterization, and Biocompatibility Testing of TiO2-Substituted SiO2-Na2O-CaO-P2O5 Bioactive Glass Scaffolds 
    Piraino, Lindsay (2017-05)
    The structural properties and bioactivity were investigated for scaffolds fabricated from a series of 42SiO2-24Na2O-21CaO-14P2O5 wt% glass compositions with incremental substitutions of TiO2 for SiO2. X-ray diffraction ...
  • Synthesizing Blattellaquinone, its Derivatives, and Subsequent Testing as a Means of Interdisciplinary Teaching
