  • limits to those charging times can be attributed to different parts of the battery, which is what makes this research exciting for students.” Now, buoyed by the NSF grant and a recent partnership with the University of Washington, Waldow’s polymer experiments are being used to create organic transistors based on polymers. While batteries store energy, transistors control the flow of and amplify electric currents. They are crucial elements of nearly all modern electronics. Waldow and his team hope to

  • -formylphenyl)-5-(4-acetylphenyl)tetrazole (2% yield), bearing aldehyde and ketone functional groups was synthesized through the azo coupling of a novel 4-([(phenylsulfonyl)hydrozono]methyl)benzaldehyde (40% yield) and 4-acetylphenyldiazonium chloride. 3:30 – 3:40 - Break3:40 pm - Investigation of Phase Transition Temperatures of Oligo(Ethylene Oxide) Grafted Oxanorbornyl Diblock Copolymers for Solid Polymer Electrolyte Supports Sevryn Modahl, Senior Capstone Seminar Solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) offer

  • Molecular Weight on Ionic Conductivity of Novel Solid Polymer Electrolytes for Use in Lithium Ion Batteries Jacob Finney, Senior Capstone Seminar Novel polymers were engineered to have an inflexible oxanorbornyl backbone with an oligo(ethylene oxide) conductive side-chain ‘brush’ to work as a solid polymer electrolyte for lithium ion batteries. These polymers were investigated due to the oligo(ethylene oxide) chain having a significant ionic conductivity and for their potential for decoupling of ionic

  • polymer electrolytes are an alternative to Li-ion materials in battery construction. We synthesize functionalized diblock copolymer electrolytes and investigate their nanostructure. A 55% ethylene oxide diblock shows evidence of self-assembly. This morphology forms conductive regions connecting the electrodes, which could enhance battery performance. 2:30 pm - Detection of Botryococcene Production in Escherichia coli via a Fluorescent Screen Allen Chacko, Senior Capstone Seminar The current study

  • TACOMA, WASH. (Sept. 20, 2016)- This summer, Taylor Bozich ’17 affirmed what she long assumed to be true about humanitarian work — it isn’t easy. She also reaffirmed that’s exactly the kind of work she wants to do after graduating from Pacific Lutheran University. Bozich…

Each awardee is responsible for completing a post-program report, while students working longer send quarterly updates. Applications are available now for interested students. Applicants are strongly encouraged to consult with Priscilla St. Clair, award director and global studies chair, to obtain an application form and learn more about eligibility. “We want people to be
