Colloidal stability is one of the most important criteria in the application strategy of colloidal nanoparticles in the continuous phase. The branches include ecology, involving coagulation as a purification method; medicine as nanocarriers; biology as blood coagulation, etc. A chemist versed in these concepts is a high-performing chemist in…

Many undergraduate chemistry and biochemistry students pursue careers in healthcare. Biomaterials, designed to harmonize with the complexity of the human body, have become increasingly significant in medicine as implants, drug delivery vehicles and tissue scaffolds. We believe it is essential that undergraduates are exposed to biomaterial…

Palacios Gómez, Jesús; Villagómez, Roque André Eleazar Arroyo – Physics Teacher, 2023
Here, a relatively simple laboratory experiment of a physical pendulum, suitable for students of science and engineering in the first courses of university physics, is presented to illustrate its dynamic behavior and to determine its inertia moment. To this end, a long wooden rod of length L = 99.8 cm and cross-section radius R = 1.73 cm was used…

Removing the pollutants from various wastewater is crucial to the environment, ecology, and humans. However, the pollutants are generally removed by chemical decomposition, which not only consumes a lot of energy but also produces carbon emissions. Electrochemical flocculation is effective to extract pollutant molecules and heavy ions from…

There is a growing need for chemistry students to be able to handle and manipulate large datasets and analyze them in an efficient and accessible way. This creates the need to develop course materials that introduce these topics early in the undergraduate curriculum. To address this growing need, this activity introduced RStudio to students…

An undergraduate laboratory was developed as part of the Drugs for Neglected Diseases "initiative's" Open Synthesis Network. This activity aimed to develop new compounds efficacious against visceral leishmaniasis. Students successfully synthesized, purified, and characterized ten different benzoxazole amides that were sent for biological…

Jordan, Annalisa M.; Wilke, Ashley E.; Nguyen, Tanifa L.; Capistrant, Katelyn C.; Zarbock, Katie R.; Batiste Simms, Morgan E.; Winsor, Brandi R.; Wollack, James W. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
Multistep synthesis is a key capstone experience in organic laboratory instruction. Here, a four-step synthesis of avobenzone, an active component in sunscreens, has been developed that can be completed in two 4 h laboratory periods. This synthesis incorporates green principles and includes an aldol condensation, electrophilic addition of bromine…

Kuzmanov, Aleksandra; Zwiesler-Vollick, Julie – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2022
In this laboratory exercise, students have an opportunity to evaluate the potential endocrine disrupting abilities of environmental chemicals of their choice using human cell culture. Over the course of 9 weeks, students learn how to aseptically handle and manipulate cells, perform and analyze a cytotoxicity assay and an enzyme-linked…

To promote student involvement in the reduction of chemical waste generated by teaching laboratories, a method published by Flinn Scientific for the treatment of waste sodium molybdate has been modified for use in treating waste generated by the popular molybdenum blue method for the analysis of phosphate in natural water samples. In this teaching…

Cash, Kevin J. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2021
Brewing science is an interdisciplinary course taught at many universities in both lecture- and lab-based modalities. The laboratory component of this class typically focuses on the brewing process from malted barley to beer. However, this ignores the malting process--an essential step in making beer, although one typically performed by maltsters…

In this paper, we present a concise and technique-heavy route to the synthesis of dimedone for a second-year organic chemistry curriculum. Our preparation of dimedone guides students through a Michael addition followed by a Dieckmann cyclization, basic ester hydrolysis, and thermal decarboxylation, while allowing time for mechanistic discussion…

With the increase of waste paper, environmental pollution and atmospheric impact have become global problems. The cellulose contained in waste paper has the advantages of being renewable and biodegradable and can be applied to many fields to achieve sustainable development. At present, thermal management materials, as a new type of material, have…

Yousef, Abraham L.; Smith, Alexis G. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2022
A multistep synthesis of a novel arylidene 3(2"H")-furanone has been designed and optimized for the second-year organic laboratory. The three-step sequence consists of a nucleophilic substitution, intramolecular cyclization, and acid-catalyzed aldol condensation, and can be carried out within two 3 h laboratory periods. The final…
