measurements were performed to analyze the relationship of ionic conductivity to the segmental dynamics of the rigid polymer backbone. Thursday, April 30th, 2015 (Morken Room 103)1:40 pm - Welcome1:50 pm - Building a Molybdenum Complex: Working Towards an Organometallic Approach to Activating Carbon Dioxide Kathleen Berge, Capstone Senior Seminar An optimized synthesis of a transition metal tris(pyrazolyl)borate complex capable of activating carbon dioxide was investigated. The relatively inexpensive

-nm feature sizes required for the development of faster and more efficient microprocessors. In this project, we investigate how nonlinear block polymer architectures impact the thermodynamics underlying their microphase separation. Specifically, we describe the synthesis of densely grafted, core-shell bottlebrush polymers derived from linking cylinder-forming ABA-type triblocks through their chain midpoints. Using temperature-dependent synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering, we demonstrate that

scattering (BASIS) was used to characterize homo and diblock dynamics and impedance measurements used to quantify lithium ion conductivity of the homopolymer. 4:00 pm - Biochemical Characterization of Truncated Mitochondrial DNA Polymerase Pol β-PAK from Trypanosoma brucei Alicia Worley, Capstone Senior Seminar Trypanosoma brucei has two polymerase beta enzymes that participate in mitochondrial DNA replication within its kinetoplast DNA network (kDNA). These two proteins, Pol β and Pol β-PAK, are found

. A variety of novel oligo(ethylene oxide) grafted diblock copolymers with bulky backbones were synthesized from basic building blocks and characterized for use as solid polymer electrolytes which can decouple ionic conductivity from local segmental dynamics. The phase behavior of these systems was studied by atomic force microscopy and appears to deviate substantially from standard theoretical random coil – random coil diblock systems. This deviation is believed to be due to a conformational
