techniques. These particular multiblock copolymers will be useful to compare with data from other previously studied polymer blend systems with related additives. Basic diblocks and a triblock were initially synthesized. Additionally, a series of tetrablocks were synthesized consisting of four equal segment molecular weights of polystyrene and polybutadiene. All of the polymers were synthesized under inert conditions in cyclohexane with a positive pressure of argon. The multiblock copolymers were

CDC’s “One Health” aims to teach individuals in affected areas about zoonotic viruses and help reduce the spread of disease. Other laboratory techniques are used to analyze genes and proteins without working with live virus. These include Western blotting, Coomassie staining, PCR, and crosslinking assays. The ultimate goal is to better understand the Nipah virus in order to lead to the development of effective vaccines and other therapeutics. Promising results came out from a 2004 paper which had

success rate increases to 92% (55/60). The results are believed to be due to interference of the homomeric forces present in amides which prevent the formation of heteromeric co-crystals until the reaction is saturated with co-former. We then synthesized and studied host-guest interactions between halogen bond donors and a benzyl-(1,2,4-triazole) functionalized macrocycle compound, c-hexyltetra(4-benzyl-(1,2,4-triazole))cavitand. Results showed a 4:1 guest:host ratio using UV-vis titration techniques

) and polybutadiene (PB) were investigated by using a 500 MHz NMR and solid-state NMR techniques. The effectiveness of different copolymers as compatibilizers was studied using deuterated PS in the polymer blend. This approach probes information related to the location of a copolymer in a polymer blend by measuring the effectiveness of cross-polarization with respect to the aromatic and aliphatic regions of PS. Preliminary data from 13C cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CPMAS) experiments

- Senior Class and Faculty Photo 3:40 pm - Verifying Transcriptional Mutagenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae via Reconstruction Techniques Kinsey Reed, Senior Capstone Seminar Retromutagenesis occurs when a DNA lesion causes a transcriptional mutation that yields a mutant protein and allows for the escape from a repressive stimulus. Mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae, thought to have gained mutation through tran-scriptional mutagenesis, was grown and counted on nutrient-rich (YPD) and selective (CAN

-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

higher temperatures, and follows a negative linear relationship. Data will be presented on a representative cell, and the theory of the phenomenon will be presented. 3:00pm Cole Johnson – “Optical Entrapment of a Polystyrene Microsphere Using a DVD Laser” In this experiment, a DVD optical pickup drive is used to “grab” and isolate polystyrene microspheres (d ~ 10 micron) in a water solution. The consumer grade drive has been used in biomedical applications such as single cell isolation. A modified
